SC-67's front panel to switch control to the included preset remote and

Apple® device or networked computer.
You can stream your music straight from your PC or Mac®,
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to the SC-67 at the touch of a button. Listen
to your favorite song in your car using your iPhone, leave your car mid
song and walk into your home. Using the AirPlay App on your iPhone,
select the SC-67. When you do, it'll power up automatically and continue
your favorite song right where you left off.

track time as well as album art on a connected display. Not only that,
the SC-67's supports network audio sources in Zone 2, allowing you to

your iTunes music has to be restricted to your computer.

of possibilities. A rear panel Ethernet port allows full integration
into your home network, with Windows® 7 and DLNA®
1.5 certification, a whole new level of entertainment options are at

Ultimate Sound Control
The SC-67 is certified for the latest THX® Select 2 Plus and DTS® Neo:X, and supports formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD®
Master Audio to give your Blu-ray Disc soundtracks unsurpassed audio
quality. 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.
Zone 4 HDMI Output
The SC-67 takes the multi-room media experience to a whole
new level with Zone 2 and Zone 3 volume, tone, and balance controls,
Zone 2 subwoofer output, plus a Zone 4 HDMI output, as well as access to
the On-Screen Display for each zone.
Class D3 Amplification
The SC-67’s Class D3 9-channel amplifier is one of
the most powerful amplifiers of any multi-channel A/V receiver Pioneer
has ever produced. Keeping the new audio formats of the Blu-ray Disc
format in mind, Class D3 takes high-resolution multi-channel audio to a whole new level of immersive performance.
Rated at 140 watts x 9 channels with an 11.2-channel preout, the
SC-67 delivers plenty of power, but it's not the whole story. Where the
SC-67 really shows its unprecedented power output capability is when
driving multi-channels simultaneously without losing significant
per-channel output. Class A/B amplifiers simply cannot match the
efficiency of Class D3 as their power output per channel
diminishes rapidly when more channels are added to the work-load. This
kind of unprecedented power capability allows you to appreciate the full
dynamics from any media source in a way never before possible. The
ability to drive more channels, simultaneously, means you can fully
reproduce all of the dynamics and impact of high definition
multi-channel Dolby and DTS soundtracks with up to 9 channels of the
highest quality power output available today.
Advanced Qdeo® Video Processing. Picture Perfect Whatever the Source
Using Qdeo processing technology and Pioneer's extensive
video know-how makes home theater a truly immersive experience. The
SC-67 provides video conversion from composite and component video to
HDMI for a single-wire high-definition audio and video solution as well
as up to 1080p/24fps video scaling for an exceptional picture regardless
of the source, creating natural and noise-free video for maximum
performance and flexibility.
And with Pioneer’s Advanced Video Adjust , you'll experience the very
best in both high-definition and standard definition signals, with a
complete suite of advanced image adjustments designed to fine-tune each
of your video sources for the best possible picture.
Mastered by the Masters at AIR Studios®
The SC-67 has been sound "mastered" at legendary AIR Studios
in London. While known for exceptional acoustics, leading-edge
equipment, full orchestra motion picture soundtracks (like “Inception”),
and creating recording history with Dire Straits “Brothers In
Arms”--the first completely digital recording for CD and first million
seller--Pioneer's engineers know them from many years of professional
collaboration.
The SC-67 was evaluated and modified at a prototype level to meet the
very strict standards set forth by studio engineers, and in doing so
was awarded AIR Studios Monitor Certification. The trained ears at AIR
Studios know first-hand what goes into an artist’s craft and their
objective is perfectly in-line with that of Pioneer: to accurately
reproduce in the home theater what the artist originally created in the
studio.
Get Ready for 3D with the Latest HDMI® Technology
All of Pioneer's newest receivers support the latest HDMI
specifications. So not only do you get the most out of your existing
movies and music, with the SC-67 you're prepared for the new generation
of 3D video content. With 8 HDMI inputs and 3 HDMI outputs, you've got
plenty of connectivity options for the growing number of high-definition
sources available including 4k2k video signals.. The SC-67 also offers
advanced HDMI conveniences like Audio Return Channel and Power Save HDMI
Standby Through.
Transform your Apple Device into a Powerful Remote Control

network, Pioneer's free iControlAV2012 app turns your iPhone, iPod touch
and iPad device or select Android devices into a powerful remote
control for your receiver. The all new iControlAV2012 is fully

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. New Sound Explorer gives you easy access to experiment with
the many powerful sound enhancements the SC-67 offers, like Hi-Bit 32,
Full Band Auto Phase Control Plus, and Virtual Speaker modes.
Full-Color On-Screen Graphical User Interface and On-Screen Overlay
All of the SC-67's advanced control and connectivity options
are made even better with a full-color user interface via HDMI on your
connected TV. Effortlessly navigate through the SC-67's menu and enjoy
iTunes album art from a connected Apple device. An on-screen overlay
provides on-screen confirmation of sound adjustments without taking you
away from what you're watching.
Ideal for Custom Home Theater Installation
The Elite series was designed with an eye toward
custom-installed home theater solutions, with features to match
Multi-zone AV capability with support for Zone2 with HD Component video
output, Zone 3 AV, and even a Zone 4 HDMi output allows you to watch
independent HD video’s in up to 3 different rooms while listening to
music in another room. . An RS-232 bus connection allows custom
installers access into the "control brain" of the SC-67, and an advance
PC setup option is available to CI integrators. The SC-67 is compatible
with popular "whole-house" entertainment systems such as Crestron, AMX,

entertainment solution.
