Pioneer’s new 7.1 A/V receivers are 3D ready, support Internet radio, let you control them with iPhone app
With more and more HDTVs and Blu-ray players coming with Internet connections (though, sadly, usually a wired one), it’s about time that the humble A/V receiver graduate to network readiness as well. Pioneer is leading the charge with its new 7.1-channel units, two of which have long-overdue support for Internet radio.
Pioneer has three new receivers, ranging in price from $399 to $749, though the cheapest, the VSX-920-K lacks some of the more notable features of the two pricier models. All three, however, possess multiple HDMI v1.4 inputs, which means you can route the signal of 3D components through the receiver. They’re all iPhone Certified and support Bluetooth audio streaming (with a $99 adapter, of course).
