As the centerpiece of your home’s high-end home entertainment experience, the VSX-935 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver from Pioneer supports up to 8K resolution, 7.2-channel surround sound, and robust music streaming. Surround sound for movies and TV can include immersive height effects, either virtually through Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer & DTS Virtual:X or with dedicated height/surround speakers. Streaming audio can be done via a host of connectivity options, such as dual-band Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, and the VSX-935 supports many online services. These are but a few highlights of this feature-rich receiver, which also provides gaming enhancements, simplified eARC connectivity, voice command support, and much more.
Audio Streaming
Many different connectivity and service options are at your fingertips with the VSX-935. Stream audio through your home’s network with dual-band Wi-Fi, or from a mobile Bluetooth-enabled device. The receiver also supports a Sonos system and Apple AirPlay 2. When it comes to content services, the VSX-935 provides default access to many popular options, such as Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, TIDAL, Deezer, and TuneIn.
Enhanced Gaming
With a console that supports HDMI 2.1, you can access an array of gaming-specific technologies that work to provide smooth 4K gameplay. ALLM allows the console to automatically select your TV’s game mode, while both VRR and QFT work to minimize lag and graphic tearing.
Bi-Directional Bluetooth
You can stream content to play through the receiver from a compatible Bluetooth-equipped mobile device, or stream from the receiver to optional Bluetooth headphones. The receiver can transmit with SBC, aptX, and aptX HD codecs, with aptX HD supporting 24-bit audio. You can send audio to the receiver with SBC and AAC codecs.
MCACC Audio Room Tuning
MCACC automatically adjusts the sound based on your room and speakers. Up to nine positions can be saved to accommodate for small to large spaces. Using Auto Phase Control Plus, real-time analysis of the phase difference in your room is done, automatically compensating for the gap between the LFE and main signals. By suppressing the standing waves between walls or between your ceiling and floor, the end result is clear highs and stronger lows.
Roon-Tested
When connecting your Roon-Tested devices to the VSX-935, you can enjoy a managed playback experience for your music library.
Voice Command
With optional smart home devices, the receiver can use Works with Alexa and Google Assistant support to allow you to control functions with voice commands.
Advanced Surround Modes
Choose the right surround sound mode to fit your content. You can choose from Classical, Unplugged, Entertainment Show, Drama, Advanced Game, Action, Rock/Pop, Sports, Extended Stereo, Mono Music, and Front Stage Surround Advance.
