The Pioneer VSX-S520 is a versatile AV receiver designed to deliver exceptional audio and video performance while maintaining a slim and stylish profile. Powered by a highly-efficient Class D amplifier, this model ensures that you enjoy rich, dynamic sound without compromising on space or aesthetic appeal.

Stunning Visuals with Ultra HD Support

Experience breathtaking images with the VSX-S520’s Ultra HD (4K/60p/4:4:4) upscaling and pass-through capabilities. Whether you’re streaming your favorite content or connecting a Blu-ray player, enjoy crisp, detailed visuals on compatible displays. The receiver’s HDMI terminals support 4K, BT.2020, and HDCP 2.2, ensuring seamless compatibility with the latest devices and future upgrades.

Rich Audio Experience

Listen to high-resolution audio files via USB or over your network for studio-quality sound. The VSX-S520 also supports internet radio and a variety of streaming services, allowing you to access endless music options. For multi-room audio enjoyment, it features FlareConnect™, Chromecast built-in, and DTS Play-Fi®, enabling effortless streaming and sharing of music across compatible devices and rooms.

Create a Full-Scale Home Cinema

Pair the VSX-S520 with Pioneer’s BDP-X300 Blu-ray Disc player to build a compact yet immersive home theater system. The receiver supports up to 3.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos*, immersing you in three-dimensional soundscapes. Thanks to Surround Enhancer*, a virtual speaker technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, you can enjoy expansive surround sound even without rear speakers. This technology uses DSP and Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) to simulate surround effects, making setup easier and more flexible.

Immersive Audio with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

The VSX-S520 is compatible with Dolby Atmos*, creating a 3D sound environment by reflecting high-directivity sound off the ceiling and utilizing low-directivity sound to reach your ears directly. The Reflex Optimizer with Phase Control technology further refines this experience by reducing phase shifts caused by ceiling reflections, ensuring precise sound localization.

DTS:X, the next-generation object-based audio codec, offers immersive, dynamic sound by automatically adapting to your existing speaker setup. This means you can enjoy rich, life-like audio without the need for complex speaker arrangements.

Advanced Video and Audio Calibration

Achieve optimal sound quality with Pioneer’s MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System). Using a dedicated microphone, MCACC automatically adjusts for speaker size, level, and distance, creating a balanced and immersive listening environment. The Phase Control feature compensates for bass delay issues, ensuring tight synchronization across all channels.

Pioneer-VSX-S520-Compact-Powerhouse-2

Future-Proof Connectivity

The VSX-S520 supports pass-through for HDR10, allowing you to enjoy the latest high-dynamic-range content on compatible displays. All HDMI ports support 4K, BT.2020, and HDCP 2.2 standards, providing a seamless upgrade path for your home entertainment system.

Network connectivity is robust with dual-band Wi-Fi (supporting 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz), enabling stable, high-quality wireless audio streaming. The built-in Wi-Fi ensures that your streaming experience is smooth and uninterrupted.

Effortless Multi-Room and Multi-Source Audio

With FlareConnect™, you can share audio from network sources and external inputs across compatible components and speakers. Create a multi-room setup to enjoy music throughout your home, whether it’s LP records, CDs, or streaming services. The Pioneer Remote App provides intuitive control over music selection, speaker grouping, and playback management, making your entire system easy to operate.

I made short movies with my stuffed animals as a kid, since then I knew from a young age I wanted to be a videographer. My parents always said I had a great eye for video/photo, so I made my job out of it. Now I make professional corporate video's. I love to learn all about new gadgets and electronics that come to the market, that's why I write/edit for "Best Of High End".

The Teddy Pardo MiniTeddy Special Edition isn’t just another upgrade, it works like a signal purification system that elevates everything downstream. I found the MTSE to act like a masterful recording engineer, cleaning the windows of your music to let the light in. What it does is nuanced: more space, deeper blacks, more defined transients, and an overall ease to the sound that encourages long listening sessions. For the detail-obsessed audiophile who believes in synergy and subtle improvements stacking into major ones, this linear power supply delivers tangible gains. It’s not a night-and-day transformation but that’s not the point. The MiniTeddy brings you closer to the artist’s intention.
