 Pioneer VSX D512-K ... surround sound. Besides Dolby Digital and DTS decoders, there is Pro Logic II processing that has the ability to create a surround experience even from two-channel recordings. Using Virtual Surround Back mode, you can delight your senses with an additional virtual surround back channel to experience 6.1-channel sound with a 5.1 speaker set-up when listening to sources with a surround channel. This A/V receiver features all the technology you need to enjoy the future of surround.
