Pioneer VSX 817-S

Pioneer VSX 817-S ... living room space and speaker placement. The result sounds like a professional recording engineer has fine-tuned your system.

By simply placing your speakers directly beside your TV screen and activating the unique Front Stage Surround Advance feature, you can experience a virtual surround sound environment. The benefit here is that you don't have to worry about routing speaker cables around your room; your speakers can be placed up front.

The VSX-817-S includes a USB host on the front, which means you can access compressed audio files. And with Pioneer's unique Sound Retriever technology (which up-converts compressed audio to CD-quality audio), you are guaranteed high-quality sound.
