5 Channel HDMI AV Receiver with HD Audio (Black)
VSX-520-K
Discover what pure and precise playback sounds like.
The VSX-520-K guarantees dynamic playback with true attention to detail, no matter from what source you are playing your audio or video content.
With an HDMI Repeater, a single HDMI cable is all you need to transfer both video and audio digitally to the receiver.
Up to 1080p (HD) video signals are supported, as well as x.v.Colour and Deep Colour for vibrant, lifelike colours with smooth gradient transitions. HDMI v1.4a ensures your receiver is 3D ready.
If you connect a Blu-ray player featuring HD audio decoding, you will be able to enjoy the uncompressed audio tracks from the latest blockbusters.
When playing music from your portable music player, you are guaranteed an enhanced sound. The Advanced Sound Retriever ‘upscales’ the quality of compressed audio to closely match the original source. Together with the Auto Level Control and MCACC acoustic calibration, this technology results in a dynamic and full sound.
You can also use Bluetooth audio streaming (with optional adapter) to enjoy music from an iPhone/ipod touch, smartphone or PC.
* This receiver is also available in silver.
