Pioneer Elite® 5.2 Channel AV Receiver
Experience performance at a higher level with Pioneer’s Elite VSX-45, your gateway to truly superior performance. A value-packed, 5.2-channel receiver with 80 watts per channel (20 Hz – 20 kHz, THD 0.08 % @ 8 ohms), this receiver is for purists who want power, connectivity and ultimate wireless convenience for their high-definition home theater. Advanced features like Ultra HD (4K/60P 4:4:4) Pass-through, HDCP 2.2 compatibility, built-in Wi-Fi and a new wireless setup app make the VSX-45 a versatile, easy-to-use receiver.
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.
Choose Your Source
The receiver features full-bandwidth HDMI Ultra HD Pass-through (with 4K/60p upscaling). HDCP 2.2 (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) ensures compatibility with current and upcoming 4K UltraHD sources and televisions. With six HDMI inputs, the VSX-45 handles 4K2K Ultra HD video at 60 frames per second—four times the resolution of 1080p—delivering the highest quality picture available, plus 4:4:4-based 4K2K 60P content, offering up to 18GBPS throughput.
Dolby Atmos Expands the Experience
With built-in Dual-Band 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz Wi-Fi and a dual-antenna setup on the rear panel, the PE-VSX-45 becomes the ultimate wireless control center for your home entertainment system. Two antennas provide maximum signal strength, and supporting both bands means higher throughput and greater Wi-Fi range.
Wireless Where You Want It
This receiver lets you enjoy wireless Bluetooth audio from virtually any A2DP profile Bluetooth device. Untether yourself from cables and inputs, and enjoy your music wirelessly from your iPhone®, Android™, PC, laptop or almost any other A2DP profile Bluetooth-enabled source. Plus, you'll enjoy enriched quality with Sound Retriever AIR technology, created specifically to enhance Bluetooth audio.
Ready to Connect
The receiver lets you enjoy effortless AirPlay connectivity, offering the latest made-for-iPhone certification for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. As a networked receiver, it supports Apple’s AirPlay® mirroring technology, allowing you to enjoy your favorite music from iPhone, iPod or iTunes anywhere in the house. In addition, Pioneer was the first brand to support HTC Connect®, the only unified approach for streaming music wirelessly from select compatible HTC smartphones for an effortless, out-of-the-box audiophile experience—there’s no need for a separate app.
Compatible with iControlAV5 Remote App*
With Pioneer's free app, you can use your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad as a remote to control basic functions. The app is also compatible with Android. Enjoy smooth control from your device, with support for 8 languages.
