Pioneer VSX-531 A/V Receiver

Pioneer today announced their lowest priced A/V receiver for 2016. The new VSX-531 5.1 channel A/V receiver debuts at $270, yet still supports UltraHD (4K/60p/4:4:4) pass-through with HDCP 2.2; built-in Bluetooth support, and Pioneer’s signature Phase Control technology. It replaces last year’s VSX-530 with nearly all the same specs.

4K UltraHD & HDR
The VSX-531 supports 4K/60p/4:4:4 24-bit video signal transmission with HDCP 2.2 technology, ensuring your receiver’s compatibility with the many upcoming 4K UltraHD sources and televisions. In addition, the VSX-531 is compatible with HDR, a technology that drastically expands the brightness peak, providing a higher contrast between light and dark images, which creates life-like pictures.
