By utilizing two proprietary digital audio enhancement functions – Advanced Sound Retriever (ASR) and Auto Level Control (ALC) – the Pioneer A/V Receivers deliver a high quality listening experience specially designed for portable audio device home integration. Pioneer’s ASR was designed for use with highly-compressed music files to ensure a more dynamic audio experience when played through home audio speakers. Meanwhile, Pioneer’s ALC technology equalizes the fluctuating volume levels that can occur with digital audio tracks and other input sources resulting in a richer user experience that alleviates the need to manually adjust the volume.
Pioneer’s A/V Receivers are available now at Best Buy and other national and regional retailers nationwide for suggested retail prices that range from $299 - $499.
