The receiver that's ready for tomorrow is here today. Introducing the Pioneer 7.1-Channel VSX-1021-K AV Receiver
The new Pioneer VSX-1021-K receiver is the answer to a home theater
enthusiast's prayers. Delivering remarkable performance in an elegant
package, it's a receiver designed with advanced technology that performs
exquisitely in the moment, while at the same time never taking its eyes
off the future. Its state-of-the-art, forward looking features get you
closer to exactly what the artist intended in a way that has never been
possible. Until now.
AirPlay®
One of the most exciting new features of the VSX-1021-K is AirPlay.
With AirPlay you can stream music from iTunes to the VSX-1021-K and play
it through your home theater system. Simply connect the receiver to
your home network via Ethernet or Pioneer's optional wireless adapter
(AS-WL300) and it instantly becomes the hub for playback of your iTunes
music from your connected Apple device or networked computer.
You can even use the receiver to view metadata including song title,
artist as well as album art on a connected display. Download Apple's
free "Remote" application and use your Apple device as a remote control.
With AirPlay, there's really no reason why your iTunes music has to be
restricted to your computer!
Made for you. And your iPad®, iPhone® and iPod®
Unlike other receiver lines, thanks to Apple® compatibility for iPod,
iPhone, and now iPad, most generations of Apple portable devices are
easily connected with the included USB/video cable - so there's no need
to buy a separate dock to access all your music, videos, streaming
content, and photos stored on your Apple portable devices.
Plus, since your iPhone iPod and now your iPad charges automatically
when connected, it's the ultimate plug-and-play integration with your
home theater. You can enjoy music with iTunes® album art, share videos
and movies, downloaded TV shows from iTunes, photos, web content such as
YouTube® and much more. And because the iPhone device's network
features remain fully functional, you can still take that call. Music
and movies simply mute and you're good to go. And you've got lots of
control options--use the iPhone directly, or push a single button on the
VSX-1021-K's front panel to switch control to the included preset
remote and an intuitive, full-color GUI.
Transform your Apple Device into a Powerful Remote Control
Communicating with the VSX-1021-K wirelessly through your home network, Pioneer's free app
turns your iPhone, iPod touch and now your iPad into a powerful remote
control for your receiver. The all new iControlAV2 app is fully
redesigned and incorporates everything from basic volume and input
selection to advanced features like EQ adjustments and Internet Radio
control. iControlAV2 for iPad includes enhanced features like vertical
and horizontal orientation, intuitive control of music from networked
PCs as well as internet radio control, and a super-cool finger EQ adjust
screen; simply draw the EQ curve to your desired sound preference.
Unleash your Smartphone's Music with Bluetooth®
The VSX-1021-K is fully ready for wireless connectivity with
Bluetooth audio from your iPhone®, Blackberry®, or Android® smartphone
or other Bluetooth-enabled sources like laptops. With the Pioneer
AS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter, you can untether yourself from headphones,
cables and inputs. And you'll enjoy near cd-quality with Sound Retriever
AIR technology, created specifically to enhance Bluetooth audio.
Air Jam
Available as a free download for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices,
Pioneer's exclusive Air Jam application is revolutionizing the way you
share your music. Used in conjunction with the VSX-1021-K receiver
(optional AS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter required), up to 4 Apple devices can be paired via Bluetooth to share music and create playlists.
Once connected wirelessly, you can choose songs from your device to
add to a group playlist to play back on the VSX-1021-K. You can view the
playlist on each device. Like the songs one of your friends added to
the playlist? Select it and you've got the option to purchase it from
iTunes or watch the music video on YouTube.
Connect to your PC Music Files or Internet Radio
The VSX-1021-K's networking ability opens up an entirely new world of
possibilities. A rear panel Ethernet port allows full integration into
your home network. With DLNA 1.5 certification, a whole new level of
entertainment options are at your fingertips. Stream your MP3, AAC, WMA,
WAV, or even FLAC music files from your PC, laptop or smartphone to
your home theater system.
The Pioneer VSX-1021-K receiver also supports Internet Radio with
vTuner, so you can enjoy 1000's of internet radio stations from around
the world. Controlled by Pioneer's iControlAv2 app, it accesses tens of
thousands of web-based radio stations worldwide, making it easy for you
to find the ones you want and listen to them directly on your receiver -
no antenna required.

Know How and Show How with AVNavigator
Imagine an owners manual that actually communicates with your
receiver. Imagine an owners manual that asks you what sources you'd like
to connect and how you'd like to configure your speakers – and walks
you through the process as you do it.
An industry-first, Pioneer's AVNavigator truly is an interactive
owners manual that takes all the guesswork out of setting up your
receiver. AV Navigator uses your networked PC (iPad compatibility coming
soon) to communicate directly with the VSX-1021-K, walking you through
speaker set-up, MCACC room calibration, sound optimization, firmware
updates and more.
Ultimate Sound Control
Of course all the latest Pioneer receivers support the
high-definition audio formats, Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio to
give your Blu-ray Disc® soundtracks unsurpassed audio quality. But
Pioneer also includes all of the Dolby and DTS surround formats best
suited for the wide variety of entertainment sources, including the
newest Dolby Pro Logic IIz height channel.
Pioneer's exclusive Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC)
provides a near studio-quality, multi-channel listening experience
customized specifically to your listening environment. An included
microphone measures every speaker's connection, and notes its size,
distance from the listening point, sound levels and timbre to calibrate
and maximize performance. Just sit back and let MCACC do the work.
Even compressed audio such as WMA, MP3 and AAC is enhanced with
another Pioneer exclusive, Advanced Sound Retriever, by filling in areas
where minute details were left out during the compression process.
