The Thrills of Multi-Channel Surround Sound
In addition to 2-channel sound with the left and right speakers,
5.1-channel sound has a centre speaker, left/right surround speakers,
and a subwoofer. So DVD or Blu-ray movie soundtracks will give you
the sensation of sound moving all around, letting you fully immerse
in the viewing experience. The AV receiver lets you combine existing
or new speakers of your choice. With versatile inputs, you can enjoy
not only films, but also sports programmes and music content in
overwhelming reality.

The feature lets you take advantage of the highest-
quality video source, by passing through 4K/60p /4:4:4
signals for viewing on a compatible display. The AV
receiver supports HDCP 2.2, so by connecting to a
compatible device, you can enjoy premium content
such as 4K videos with digital copy protection.
HDMI
®
(4K/60p, 3D, ARC)
You can enjoy the latest Blu-ray 3D™ Discs, 3D games,
and 3D broadcasts by connecting the AV receiver with
a Blu-ray 3D Disc player, game console, or tuner (STB)
and display via HDMI. The Audio Return Channel (ARC)
feature allows a TV with built-in tuner to send audio data
“upstream” to the AV receiver via HDMI without a separate
audio cable. Enjoy full-digital transfer of high-definition audio as well
as up to 4K/60p video signals by HDMI connection.
Enjoy Quality Sound from Compressed Audio
The Advanced Sound Retriever upgrades the output of
compressed audio such as WMA, MPEG-4 AAC, and
MP3, to the level of CD sound. The technology creates
new signals to restore the minor details left out during
the compression process.
Synchronised Sound with Phase Control
When amplifying multi-channel audio signals, receivers use a
Low Pass Filter (LPF) to process low-frequency signals for
subwoofer output. This causes phase shift of the low-frequency
signals compared to the main channel signals, and the delayed
bass makes the sound lack synchronisation. Pioneer’s Phase Control
technology effectively eliminates phase lag and reproduces clearer mid-
and high-range sound. You can feel the bass vibrating the air and deeper
voices in films, and the groove of the performer in music content.
Hear Every Detail with Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio
The VSX-330-K supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-
HD Master Audio surround soundtracks, letting
you experience the world of true high-definition
entertainment from Blu-ray Discs. The lossless codecs
are bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
Save Power with ECO Mode
ECO Mode 1 features moderate energy saving operation while
maintaining high-quality sound. It is ideal for CD music, 2ch audio
files, and internet radio. The higher energy-saving ECO Mode 2
features moderate sound quality, and is suitable for content with
dynamic sound such as films (multi-ch/2ch) or live concerts. The function
can be accessed from the front panel or the remote control.
