Pioneer Elite® 7.2-Channel AV Receiver

Pioneer’s Elite 7.2-channel receiver - a multi-source, multi-zone AV receiver that packs powerful and efficient digital amplification into one elegant package - expands the performance horizon to bring your home theater to life. With immersive Dolby Atmos technology and Class D3digital amplification, this receiver brings down the house with a total of 660 watts multi-channel simultaneous drive. Rated at 130 watts per channel (8 ohms, 1kHz, THD 0.08%, 2ch Driven FTC), the Elite PE-SC-91 delivers significantly more simultaneous multi-channel power than the Class AB competition. The wireless connectivity and convenience are there, with built-in Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®. Plus, it’s Spotify® ready and Pandora® ready. Meanwhile, advanced audio and high-resolution video features include Ultra HD (4K/60P 4:4:4) Pass-through, HDCP 2.2 compatibility, DSD Playback via Network, MCACC Pro calibration, Subwoofer EQ, built-in AVNavigator, and an easy initial setup app: Start-up Navi.

Important Note - A recently-discovered conflict between Pioneer and Araknis prohibits Pioneer from receiving a dynamic IP from Araknis routers. While we work with Pioneer to determine a root cause, the current solution is to set the static IP address from the main GUI of Pioneer devices (receivers and Blu-ray players), using the provided Pioneer remote.
Dolby Atmos Equipment & Room Requirements - To use Dolby Atmos technology, the listening room ceiling should have a horizontal flat hard surface (for audio reflection) and a height of 8’ to 14’. Additionally, you must have an Atmos-compatible speaker arrangement as well as Dolby Atmos-encoded content. Learn More >>

Dolby Atmos Expands the Experience

The Elite PE-SC-91 features Dolby Atmos technology, the latest sound platform that makes music and movies come alive like never before.

In addition to being Dolby Atmos compatible, the SC-91 supports formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio to give your soundtracks on Blu-ray Disc unsurpassed audio quality.

Pure Class D3 Power

Seven discrete channels of direct energy amplification deliver 130 watts (8 ohms, 1kHz, THD 0.08%, 2ch driven FTC) for spectacular 7.2-channel surround.
