Key Features and Benefits: Connectivity is a key Smartphones have become a convenient and powerful way to stay connected to your favorite entertainment. Pioneer's networked receivers give instant access to your favorite content and control options through smartphones and tablets. The VSX-823-K unleashes more music and video content in the living room and through the home, thanks to class-leading digital connectivity and flexible networking features. The VSX-823-K also supports DLNA media streaming which allows for access to your favorite music from a DLNA server or computer connected to the same home network. Not only are compressed music files supported such as MP3, WMA, and AAC but also high resolution files such as FLAC, WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless. ControlApp Can't find the remote? Because the VSX-823-K is a networked receiver, simply download Pioneer's ControlApp at no charge, turning your Apple or Android device into a remote control for the VSX-823-K. ControlApp not only allows you to control and manage your receiver settings, this app also allows you to access music stored on your smartphone and push it wirelessly to the receiver, without juggling between ControlApp and your phone's built in music player. Control app makes it easy to stream music with Pandora, or use vTuner internet radio to access thousands of radio stations from all over the world. Music file playback With the growing interest in high-quality digital music, Pioneer AV Receivers have broadened their support for high-resolution audio playback. In addition to MP3 WMA, AAC, FLAC, WAV music file playback, the VSX-823-K now supports high resolution Apple Lossless and AIFF music files. Stream these files from your home network, smartphone device, tablet, or even the front USB. 4K ultra HD compatible The Pioneer VSX-823-K is ready to pass through Ultra HD video signals to a compatible display, meaning it can support home theater systems dedicated to producing the highest quality picture available today. Expanded HDMI connectivity and MHL 2.0 capability Offering more inputs than comparable receivers, the VSX-823-K features HDMI inputs, including support for both 3D and Ultra HD sources. The front HDMI terminal is letting you connect and control compatible Android devices. High-definition video can be displayed on your HDTV with multi-channel sound, while also charging your device. ECO mode The energy-saving ECO mode found on Pioneer AV receivers goes far beyond the conventional wisdom about "green" electronics, with a low standby power consumption. The ECO mode offers all of the convenience features of today's modern AV receivers, including network standby and HDMI CEC support, while reducing power consumption in both on and standby modes. The intelligent ECO mode analyzes your sources in real time, adjusting power consumption accordingly to meet your needs, or you can choose the power-saving settings that are right for you. You can control ECO mode using the receiver's front panel, the included remote control, or the ECO Manager page of Pioneer's free ControlApp for your smartphone or tablet. Now you can feel better about your entertainment experience without sacrificing power or features. A customized home theater experience The VSX-823-K features Pioneer's exclusive Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), providing an optimized multi-channel listening experience by measuring every speaker's connection, noting its size and distance from the listening point, sound levels and timbre in order to calibrate, customize and maximize performance specifically for your room. On screen display If your home theater system is hidden away in a cabinet or closet it is often difficult to know the current volume level or other status indicators of the receiver. This is where the on screen display feature comes into play. When turned on, on-screen display will overlay your receiver's basic information such as volume, input, and surround mode as you make adjustments using the remote.
