See More Detail with 4K/60p Pass-through
The feature lets you take advantage of the highest-
quality video source, by passing through 4K/60p /4:4:4
signals for viewing on a compatible display. The
VSX-531 supports HDCP 2.2, so by connecting to a
compatible device, you can enjoy premium content
such as 4K videos with digital copy protection.
Next Generation Video Standard Ready
The VSX-531 is ready for the next generation video standard HDR
(High Dynamic Range), which was adopted by Ultra HD Blu-ray™. HDR
is a technology that drastically expands the brightness peak, providing
a higher contrast between light and dark images, which creates even
more life-like pictures.

Wireless Technology
With the built-in
Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology
(ver. 3.0), you can easily stream songs from
compatible devices. The VSX-531 features A2DP
profile, with support for SBC and AAC codecs.
MCACC Auto Room Tuning
Create the optimum acoustic environment with Pioneer’s
MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System),
developed with the expertise of professional recording
studios. With the custom microphone, the system
automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and
distance, and equalises response.
Synchronised Sound with Phase Control
When amplifying multi-channel audio signals, receivers use a
Low Pass Filter (LPF) to process low-frequency signals for
subwoofer output. This causes phase shift of the low-frequency
signals compared to the main channel signals, and the delayed
bass makes the sound lack synchronisation. Pioneer’s Phase Control
technology effectively eliminates phase lag and reproduces clearer mid-
and high-range sound. You can feel the bass vibrating the air and deeper
voices in films, and the groove of the performer in music content.
Front USB Input
The front panel USB input terminal allows straightforward
connection to a USB memory stick. This plug and play
connectivity enables you to easily play music files.
Hear Every Detail with Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio
The VSX-531 supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-
HD Master Audio surround soundtracks, letting
you experience the world of true high-definition
entertainment from Bluray Discs. The lossless codecs
are bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
Enjoy Quality Sound from Compressed Audio
The Advanced Sound Retriever restores the output of
compressed audio such as WMA, AAC, and MP3,
to the level of CD sound. The technology creates new
signals to restore the minor details left out during the
compression process.
