Go beyond the single-room experience – the Pioneer Elite VSX-LX505 AV receiver brings cinema-quality sound and picture to multiple rooms.

Dirac Live Room Correction

State-of-the-art digital room correction technology improves the overall performance of the sound across the entire frequency band without additional upgrades. Dirac Live automatically calibrates the sound in your room using either a smartphone and the included wired microphone, or virtually wirelessly with the Dirac Live PC or MacOS* application and a third-party USB microphone (not included). Dirac Live unlocks the full potential of your speakers in any listening environment, providing a uniquely pristine listening experience. You now get more accurate measurement of your Surround Sound system's positions for a more precise and balanced result, with the upper limit for delay time increased from 20 milliseconds to 50 milliseconds. *The device must be connected to the internet and the same network as the AVR.

HDMI® 2.1 and 8K

HDMI® 2.1 is the latest update to the HDMI® specification and supports a range of higher video resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K60 and 4K120, as well as dynamic HDR formats. 8K offers an incredibly immersive viewing experience with 2x the horizontal and vertical resolution of 4K and 4 times more pixels; and combined with a 60Hz refresh rate, enable smooth and sharp content viewing with fast action. HDMI 2.1 with 8K ensures that your system is ready to receive the clearest and purest image available, both now and in the future.

4K Gaming Experience

4K/120 allows for ultra-fast motion UHD images to be sharp and crisp; and sports, action movies and high-performance games benefit significantly. This receiver supports improved performance from streaming devices, such as the latest Apple TV.
