Pioneer, a developer of home entertainment components, has introduced the all-new VSX-835 and VSX-535 Immersive Sound Audio Video Receivers.
The global AV company states the VSX-835 is designed with the latest technology for home theater and gaming that includes IMAX Enhanced Certification, Dolby Atmos capabilities; Dolby Surround, DTS Virtual:X, HDMI 2.1, 8K/4K Ultra HD capabilities, and Bluetooth streaming. Professional integrators can also utilize Pioneer’s proprietary MCACC Auto calibration platform to ensure the AVRs perform to their highest capabilities.
The VSX-535 supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Surround, HDMI 2.1, Bluetooth streaming, and more, according to Pioneer.
Pioneer emphasizes the VSX-835 and VSX-535 now support video resolutions up to 8K Ultra HD and 8K resolution. The company asserts 8K is the highest resolution on the market and offers homeowners an immersive viewing experience with 2x the horizontal and vertical resolution of 4K and four times as many pixels.
VSX-835 and VSX-535 AVRs Provide Homeowners with Immersive Gaming Experiences
The Pioneer VSX-835 and VSX-535 have the latest in HDMI processing including 4K 120Hz pass through to enable high-level gaming sessions. The VS835 upgrades to seven channels of amplification and delivers HDR images and sound with IMAX digitally remastered content—just as the filmmakers intended. Pioneer’s IMAX Enhanced Mode is optimized to adhere to strict performance standards around color, brightness, contrast, and audio fidelity. Pioneer says that through the specification, homeowners benefit from the support of HDR (High Dynamic Range) video including HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision, and BT.2020 on both models. Additionally, 4:4:4 color space is also supported.

Digging into specific options, the VSX-835 supports DTS:X to automatically adapt audio to existing channels and speaker setups, so no specific speaker layout is required. Upping the ante, DTS Virtual:X adds three-dimensional sound without height or rear speakers. Pioneer notes Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer also allows users to experience immersive sound without the additional speakers.
Some of the other features the receivers offer include the company’s Advanced Sound Retriever technology that is said to restore the output of compressed audio (such as WMA, AAC, and MP3) to original lossless quality levels by creating new signals to restore the minor details left out during the compression process.
