Pioneer VSX-54TX A/V Receiver

This is powerful, feature-rich AV receiver that delivers serious home theater performance. Its dual Motorola 150-MIPS DSP digital core engine provides huge processing power, and its THX™ SelectTM capability ensures mind-bending theater sound and THX's assurance that the VSX-54TX meets the highest standards for build quality and technical specifications. And for the best sound possible, Advanced MCACC offers studio-quality set-up and calibration of your system, even capable of measuring and compensating for indirect sound reflections from your walls and ceiling. You can even control and visually monitor the process on your laptop via an RS232C PC interface. Dolby Pro-Logic® IIx can create an amazing 7.1 channels from 2-channel sources, putting new life into older material. Multi-Room lets you control the VSX-54TX from another room via remote, and Multi-Source enables control of multiple sources (such as CD player and tuner) by multiple users. The 110-watt x 7 VSX-54TX comes with 10 A/V inputs, a pre-programmed remote (with macro commands), and the Elite two-year warranty.
