Pioneer® Elite SC-99 9.2-Channel Class D3 Network AV Receiver with Dolby ATMOS®
Combining the enhanced realism of Dolby Atmos with the full power of nine channels of Class D3 amplification, the Elite PE-SC-99 provides studio-grade room calibration with MCACC Pro, while the coveted AIR Studios Monitor certification ensures an unmatched surround-sound experience. Along with advanced multi-zone features and effortless connectivity, it offers advanced Super Resolution video scaling with 4K Ultra HD pass-through with HDCP 2.2, a USB-DAC for jitter-free digital networked audio streaming, and the immersive new object-based DTS:X surround-sound format.
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-99 raises the curtain on a new world of sound. This receiver with Dolby Atmos will change the way you experience movies and music with as little as one listen. The Elite PE-SC-99 integrates Dolby surround technology and is compatible with 7.2.4ch*, 9.2.2ch*, 7.2.2ch and 5.2.4ch, configurations for Dolby Atmos. It works by adding height to the sonic landscape, creating a true 3D, multi-dimensional space that puts listeners inside the experience. *External amplifier required.
Powerful Class D3 Amplification
The no-compromise PE-SC-99 is the Elite line’s most powerful receiver this year, thanks to Class D3 amplifiers that deliver unbridled power in a lightweight, cool-running package. Unlike traditional Class AB amplifier designs, which suffer from reduced power output as channels are added, Pioneer’s advanced Class D3 digital circuitry provides identical and consistent high-current power to all of the speakers for a total of 850 watts (8 ohms, 1 kHz @ 1.0% THD), while generating radically less heat and energy loss than traditional Class AB designs for enhanced efficiency.
Ready for Object-Based Audio with DTS:X
The next-generation surround sound format, available as a no-cost firmware update, creates an amazing three-dimensional sound field that reproduces the movement of sound in space. It automatically adapts the signal to existing channels and speakers and requires no specific speaker layout. 
Professional Calibration with MCACC Pro
MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) Pro takes room calibration to a new level of precision. Further enhancing the three-dimensional realism of the Elite’s Atmos-enabled system as well as all of your other audio sources, MCACC Pro calibrates your room’s sound using a microphone to monitor the acoustic environment and an equalizer to optimize and precision-tune each speaker to the room. 
A Serious Stamp of Approval
The Elite PE-SC-99 has been certified at London’s legendary AIR Studios, whose work is acknowledged worldwide for award-winning motion picture soundtracks and peerless recording and mastering. Like Pioneer, AIR Studios respects the artist’s intention and believes that faithfully reproducing what was originally created in the studio is the critical objective of the finest home theater system.
