Modern multi-channel speaker sets don't have to be large. Even very discreet, compact 5.1 systems effortlessly create an immersive cinema atmosphere in the living room, something soundbars and especially TV speakers simply cannot achieve.

To match this, the AV receiver should also be as slim as possible while still being high-quality - and that's exactly the role the VSX-S520D plays perfectly. With its height of only 65 mm, it fits perfectly with current Blu-ray players, and thanks to three different colors, it can be harmoniously combined with any TV model and interior style. Class-D amplifiers developed by Pioneer ensure a rich power output of six channels at 80 watts each, enough to adequately drive even demanding speakers.

To preserve as much of their sound as possible in challenging rooms, the automatic calibration system MCACC effectively and accurately corrects acoustic issues. And because the VSX-S520D looks best when there are as few additional devices around it as possible, Pioneer has built in the music sources: DAB digital radio, HiRes DLNA streaming, internet radio, subscription services like Spotify, Tidal, and Deezer, as well as AirPlay and Bluetooth, ensure that this subtly styled entertainment professional never runs out of material.
