Pioneer - VSX2021

For an extended home cinema setup.

With 2 x HDMI out, the VSX-2021 lets you connect 2 screens or a screen and a projector, without the need for a HDMI splitter. 6 x HDMI + 1 front HDMI inputs allow you to connect multiple sources.

Besides 7.1 surround sound in HD and a digital connection with your iPod, iPhone or iPad without dock, you get easy-to-operate worldwide internet radio (vTuner) and network streaming via DLNA or Apple Airplay when you connect via LAN (adapter for wireless LAN available). LPCM, WAV, FLAC and other lossless formats are supported as well as THX Select 2 Plus audio.
