Specifications
With the SR+ interface, you can integrate your A/V receiver with a Pioneer Plasma TV with minimum fuss. Receiver status, controls and set-up
features are displayed on the plasma for easy operation; the plasma TV automatically follows the input and accepts remote control commands
from the A/V receiver. Advanced SR+ also includes a macro function, an easy solution for frequently used multi-step system commands (available for
VSX-AX4AVi and VSX-AX2AV only).
For example, press the macro and DVD buttons on the remote control, and the plasma TV, A/V receiver and DVD player will all switch on at the same time.
Moreover, the input function for both the plasma TV and the A/V receiver will be changed automatically.

Enhance your entertainment experience even further. Just take advantage of Pioneer’s pre-defined Original Surround modes and listening modes to tailor the
sound to your specific listening conditions or source. Bring out big-theatre sound from action movies with Advanced Movie mode, while Advanced Music mode
will make you believe you’re in a large concert hall. 5/6/7-Channel Stereo uses all the speakers in the system to simulate a stereo feeling and create rich
surround sound. (6/7-Channel Stereo is used with one or two Surround Back speakers; if none are available, 5-Channel Stereo takes effect.) Virtual Surround
Back creates a highly convincing ‘phantom’ surround back sound behind you. Expanded Theatre mode adds more sound depth to Dolby Surround sources. For
TV or headphone listening turn on TV Surround and Phones Surround modes for enhanced surround effects. A sports fan? You’ll feel right in the middle of the
stadium with Sports mode. Try out Game mode if you’re an avid gamer. It deepens the sound of powerful movement
and speed for intense video game action. During those late night movies, put on Midnight Listening mode for better
cinema-like sound at low volumes. If poken dialogue isn’t clear during action sequences, switch on Dialogue
Enhancement mode.
See the charts on pages 91 — 92 for availability of modes for each receiver.

capability, which make setting up a cinch.
