Many people forget that Pioneer introduced the first Digital 5.1 receiver over a decade ago. Further, many do not realize that Pioneer was the first company to widely support video conversion and auto system set-up and calibration in an audio/video receiver. All of these features seem very common these days, but Pioneer was the first - a true pioneer in the industry in every way. While the Elite series represents their best foot forward in terms of design and technology, their standard line of components demonstrates that Pioneer engineers can design and build a unit that is friendly to the budget and outperforms their similarly-priced competitors. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that our prices on Pioneer components are better than the big blue box store in town (see below). Here is a sample of popular models from this series, or click the Pioneer logo above to explore the complete line-up.
