Listen to your favorite song in your car using your iPhone, leave your car mid-song and walk into your home. Using the AirPlay icon on your iPhone, select the VSX-822-K. When you do, it'll power up automatically and continue your favorite song right where you left off.

You can even use the receiver to view song information, including song title and artist as well as album art on an HDMI-connected TV.

Connect Your PC Files or Internet Radio

The VSX-822-K's networking ability opens a world of possibilities. A rear panel Ethernet port allows full integration into your home network, with Windows 7 and DLNA 1.5 certification; a whole new level of entertainment options are at your fingertips. Stream MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, or even FLAC music files from your PC, laptop or smartphone to your home theater system.

The VSX-822-K also supports Internet Radio with vTuner, so you can enjoy thousands of internet radio stations from around the world. You can also access your Pandora Radio music service, complete with on-screen album art and song information.

Unleash Your Smartphone's Music with Bluetooth

The VSX-822-K is fully ready for wireless Bluetooth audio from virtually any A2DP profile Bluetooth device. With the Pioneer AS-BT200 Bluetooth adapter (sold separately), you can untether yourself from cables and inputs. Plus you'll enjoy enriched quality with Sound Retriever AIR technology, created specifically to enhance Bluetooth audio.

Choose songs from your device to add to a group playlist to play back on the VSX-822-K. Like a song your friend added? Select it and buy it from iTunes, or watch the music video on YouTube.

Ultimate Sound Control

With 400 watts of high power, direct energy amplification, the VSX-822-K supports formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio to give your Blu-ray Disc soundtracks unsurpassed audio quality. Pioneer also includes all of the Dolby and DTS surround formats, including the newest Dolby Pro Logic IIz height channel.

The VSX-822-K also features Pioneer's exclusive Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), providing an optimized multi-channel listening experience by measuring every speaker's connection, noting its size and distance from the listening point, sound levels and timbre in order to calibrate, customize and maximize performance specifically for your room.

With the unique Front Stage Surround Advance feature, you experience a virtual surround sound environment. If you don't want to worry about routing speaker cables around your room, your speakers can be placed up front and still sound great.

By filling in areas where minute details were left out during the compression process, even compressed audio like WMA, MP3 and AAC is enhanced with another Pioneer exclusive, Advanced Sound Retriever and Sound Retriever Air, specifically designed for Bluetooth.

And since the only thing that should shock you is how good it sounds, there's also an Auto Level Control, equalizing volume differences between portable audio tracks or television programming and eliminating jarring volume changes.
