If you're in search of a powerful home theater foundation that offers a multitude of streaming options, compatibility with iPod, iPhone and iPad as well as exquisite audio and video processing capabilities, the Pioneer VSX-1022-K 7.1-Channel 3D Ready A/V Receiver could be a good match for your needs. It offers 80 watts per channel with six HDMI inputs with support for 3D video from Blu-ray discs, broadcasting and video games, as well as Deep Color, x.v. Color and Audio Return Channel. So in addition to the HD Blu-ray format, this receiver is ideal for all current and future high definition sources with extensive connectivity options for legacy equipment as well.

Using Anchor Bay video processing, the VSX-1022-K can convert analog video sources to HDMI for clear, detailed imaging. It can also upscale picture to 1080p to best match the native resolution of an HDTV. Of course, it supports advanced surround sound processing of Dolby and DTS formats including Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio to give your Blu-ray disc movies a soundtrack that's realistic and lifelike. It also supports Dolby Pro Logic IIz, which adds a "height" channel for an even more immersive experience.

Since this receiver is certified to work with iPod, iPhone and iPad, Pioneer has included several features for seamless operation with your iDevices. After a download from the App Store, you can control master and per-zone volume, room calibration and more. You'll have a simple but powerful way to adjust your home theater sound however you like, from the convenience of your portable device. You can also enjoy music with iTunes album art, movies and downloaded TV shows from iTunes, photos, web content like YouTube clips and more. With AirPlay, you can stream music from your iPod, iPhone or iPad from your iTunes library -- wirelessly!

But once you've connected the VSX-1022-K to an internet connection, your home entertainment possibilities don't have to end there. This receiver is Bluetooth ready (optional adapter is required) stream content from your iPhone, Blackberry, or Android smartphone as well as other Bluetooth-enabled sources like a laptop.

The VSX-1022-K features Pioneer's exclusive Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), which provides a near studio-quality, multi-channel listening experience customized specifically to your listening environment. An included microphone measures every speaker's connection, and notes its size, distance from the listening point, sound levels and timbre to calibrate and maximize performance. So, pretty much any seat will be the best seat in the house.

And there's more -- with Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever, your WMA, MP3 and AAC music files will sound cleaner and clearer than ever. This fills in areas where minute details were left out during the compression process.

In addition to controlling the receiver with your iPod, iPhone or iPad, you can also utilize the full color on-screen GUI along with the included preset remote to adjust and tweak your home theater sound. Clearly, the VSX-1022-K allows for advanced audio and video processing while offering compatibility with portable Apple devices and providing a gateway to internet radio and more, right in your own living room -- just add a Blu-ray disc or DVD player, TV and speakers of your choice for the ultimate networked home theater system.

Does this come with a step-up voltage convertor as well?

Surely it must be a 110V US model?

Hey BB,

No, I'm currently using my 500W stepdown converter and will need it for my new amp.

Step-down... of course. Monday morning brain fade.

But okay, maybe just edit your first post to reflect the fact that it's a 110V version, and would thus need a converter to run.

My apologies, I thought that was apparent when I mentioned it was imported from the US.

I will amend.

I will amend.

A lot of products imported from the states will have switchable power supplies, running quite happily on 220V (like the Roku 3, or any PC PSU for instance) - so it definitely isn't a logical conclusion to the uninitiated that it will need a voltage converter.

No need to apologize - just trying to help your sale along.

No offence dude, but this thread (by your own hands) may be influencing your sale:

And here's a decent price on a step-down converter if anyone's keen:

Step Down AC-AC Converter - 220-110V 500W - 220V to 110V Converters - Electronic Components - Rabtron Electronics

That was to gauge interest, as I said in my previous updates, I'm willing to consider offers and should someone offer me R5k, I'd probably take it.

I know full well it was to gauge interest - and you had a fair amount of it.

But your official for sale thread 6 months later kicks off at R3k higher than the feeler, without the step-down converter nogal... then goes through several "non negotiable" price drops, and you only mention offers or being negotiable after nearly 2 months.

And now if someone offers you R5k, you'd probably take it? Wow - so benevolent of you. When you seemed perfectly happy to take R5k for the unit WITH step-down converter in March.

Perhaps try to be a bit more consistent in your sales approach - shifting the goal posts like that will give interested parties the impression that you're trying to do them in.

Meh, use it, don't use it. Up to you. As much as I'd have liked a 1022 for my man cave, I'm out on this one.

GLWS.

Thanks for pointing that out, really appreciated man.

Price update, will let it go for R4500-00, which is an absolute bargain.

This amp retails for over R10 000 new.

Spoil yourself for Xmas!
