Pioneer is a true innovator at the forefront of plasma development. Our latest breakthrough is Pure Drive™, a Pioneer exclusive that pushes the limits of plasma display performance. Pure Drive keeps video signals entirely in the digital domain rather than converting them back and forth between analog and digital, as is typical with competing flat panel and projection technologies. This lossless, all-digital process allows far greater control of the signal and enables it to maintain all of its original depth. To bring the completely digital Pure Drive platform to market, Pioneer designed and developed six ICs as its core. The result is a technological foundation of excellence that will carry forward far into the future.

Ambient light — from windows, skylights, or room lighting — can easily reduce contrast and decrease picture quality. But what if you don’t want to shut your blinds or dim the lights? The Elite PRO-1120HD and PRO-920HD employ a patented First
Surface Pure Colour Filter, an image enhancing layer of film that’s actually affixed to the glass panel covering the plasma cells. There’s no space in between the film and the glass, reducing ambient light reflections and improving contrast ratio in bright environments by 20%. In addition, light is actually colour balanced as it passes through the filters, producing colour values that are closer to the true
NTSC colour standard than other TVs or monitors. Plus, this unique filter features a wider internal “mesh” construction so that the video image does not reflect back into the panel from the filter as with many other models. Better technology, better performance: it’s another reason Pioneer
Elite Plasmas remain the industry reference standard.

Introducing First-Surface Pure Color Filter – an exclusive Pioneer advancement that was discovered just below the surface. By optically coupling the Pure Color Filter to the plasma panel, we removed the gap between the glass and the filter. This reduces ambient light reflections, improves the contrast ratio in bright environments and delivers an undistorted, clearer picture. Pioneer Elite PureVision Plasmas combine this technology with 10-bit video processing, ACE II and deep-encased cell structures to provide you with the most accurate color reproduction possible.
It’s all part of our unyielding pursuit of the perfect picture.

Some of the best movie moments occur during nighttime or low-light scenes, but unfortunately, most plasma panels can’t properly reproduce all the important details. The problem: they’re not capable of displaying all the necessary gradation steps as the scene gets darker, and at a certain point they just give up and turn everything black. Pioneer overcame this with a technology called Advanced
Continuous Emission II. “ACE II” uses
10–bit processing to produce 1,024 gradation steps for each red, green, and blue cell, creating a palette of over a billion colours. This industry-leading technology gives you a wider range of hues and far more accurate colour reproduction, especially in those dark scenes. However,
Pioneer ’s new ACE III technology
(PRO–1120HD, PRO–920HD) pushes the envelope even further, by reducing the visible steps between the levels of colour being viewed, making colour transitions smoother than before.

Plasma displays contain millions of coloured fluorescent lamps, each one contributing to the overall picture. Some manufacturers separate the lamps only with vertical walls, allowing the lamps’ light and colour to blend in with one another. The results: inaccurate colours and a soft, diffused picture. Elite
PureVision panels combat this by encasing each individual lamp in its own
“cell”, with walls on all sides so that light doesn’t bleed into other cells. This design allows each lamp to deliver a highly concentrated beam of light, for truer colours, brighter images, and more realism on the screen.
(PRO-1410HD comes with standard depth Encased Cell Structure) it actually makes things simpler: the need of a buffer is eliminated and the processors aren’t forced into guesswork.
Now, film-based material on DVD, videotape, and even regular TV will match the smooth, natural reproduction you’d see in a theater. Elite plasma displays are the only models currently on the market to have this feature.

NTSC (analog) composite video images are comprised of two signals, luminance
(brightness information, expressed as
“Y”) and chrominance (colour information, expressed as “C”). When analog composite video is played back, the Y and C signals must be separated or they’ll interfere with one another. The result is video noise in the form of “dot crawl”, seen as dots marching along the edges of images, like ants. To combat this, we use a true 10-bit, 3-dimensional motion-adaptive Y/C comb filter — the finest available — which eliminates dot crawl and produces a beautiful, film-like image.

Many plasma displays allow you to select a screen mode best suited to the material being viewed. For example, when watching a regular 4:3 TV show on a 16:9 widescreen monitor, the image can be stretched to fill the entire screen. But that stretching process often causes problems such as blocky, fuzzy, or over-stretched images. Pioneer’s industry-exclusive Natural Re-Size function re-shapes the picture and allows it to maintain a natural appearance, without adding artifacts that deteriorate picture quality.

Film doesn’t translate directly to a standard that TVs can process without some alterations. Movies are shot on film at 24 frames per second (fps), but
TVs display images using the NTSC standard of 30 frames per second (or more precisely, 60 interlaced fields per second, or 60Hz). To display a movie, 6 fps must be added to the film’s original
24 fps, to equal 30. This is done by examining each frame of film and creating three video fields from the first frame of film, two video fields from the second, then three again, and so on.
This conversion process is called 3:2 frame pulldown.
I / P C O N V E R S I O N
Even the most common plasma displays contain an I/P converter, a chip that turns interlaced (I) images into progressive (P) images. But performing that conversion with total precision and without visible distortion requires very high-level processing. When you’re at a store looking at plasma displays, watch for a moving image that contains a straight edge such as a pillar or fence. As motion continues, lesser plasmas will exhibit a jagged effect along the edges. To eliminate this effect, an Elite custom IC performs high-grade I/P conversion, so straight edges will really look straight and clean, like they’re supposed to.
Today’s 3:2 pulldown greatly improves
NTSC reproduction of film-based material. A processor takes those 24 fps into a buffer, interpolates how to compose the 6 frames to be added, and re-sends the “new” 30 frames. This is exceptionally difficult to do and often results in uneven motion, especially during fast action.
Pioneer solved this by developing a custom, industry-exclusive IC that creates three full copies of each frame x 24 frames per second, for 72 progressive fps
(72Hz). This is now 3:3 pulldown, which synchronizes perfectly with the frame rate of film. It’s a great solution because

Digital video and MPEG video both use compression that can create unwanted noise. “Digital noise” often appears as a checkerboard pattern on solid images like the sky or skin. “MPEG noise”, also known as “mosquito noise”, appears as a fuzziness around the edge of an image. Elite plasma panels greatly reduce both types of noise, for a higher level of realism.

So, you’re watching a movie and an actress with jet-black hair is wearing a bright white shirt. It’s a high-contrast situation that gives nearly all plasma displays problems. Usually, if her hair colour is a true black, her shirt will appear as a slightly dull off-white. Or, her shirt will be pure white but her hair isn’t a true black. And, of course, it doesn’t help to adjust your brightness because either the hair or the shirt will lose its true value. Enter Dynamic Range
Expander (D.R.E.), which raises the values of both lights and darks, noticeably improving the contrast ratio and creating a more vivid presentation.

OK, admit it: sometimes you want to watch two shows at the same time.
Picture-in-Picture (one full-screen image with a smaller image inset) has been around a long time, but now Multi-
Window Display takes dual-material viewing to new levels: it lets you display any combination of HDTV, NTSC, and even a computer image, either as twin images (50/50 split screen) or as Picture in

DIGITAL COLOUR TRANSIENT
IMPROVEMENT (C.T.I.)
Ordinary plasma displays have a hard time accurately rendering a coloured image laying over another coloured image — for example, a man in a blue jacket standing against a red wall. The usual result is a dithered pattern and an inaccurate combination of colours where the two images intersect. Digital Colour
Transient Improvement (C.T.I.), a
Pioneer Pure Drive development, smooths out edges of colour images so that they’re more distinct, and colours are more precisely reproduced.

Colour noise is another form of analog video interference, seen as speckled imperfections within solid colours on your screen. Select Elite models feature a
10-bit Digital Chroma Decoder to reduce noise and provide better frequency response, for pure, clean colours.
C O L O U R M A N A G E M E N T
Colour Management enables greater control of both primary and secondary colours, selectively boosting or scaling back values to match the actual image without affecting other colours on the screen. This results in far more accurate colour reproduction. Two examples:
Colour Management will enhance a flowering tree without distorting the blue sky behind it; and facial skin tones will be reproduced more accurately without discolouring the subject’s clothing.

All Elite PureVision plasma displays feature a new type of digital input called a
“High Definition Multimedia Interface”, or HDMI. This high-bandwidth consumer interface allows huge amounts of very high quality data — such as uncompressed
HDTV signals — to be input at high rates of speed, up to 5 GBps. This leaves a lot of spare capacity for future applications such as an uncompressed DVD movie, or
DVD-Audio and SACD audio recordings. and High-Definition. Because Elite plasma panels feature true high-definition native resolution, everything you watch will be maximized for the highest quality, whether it’s high-definition or NTSC. In fact, all Elite panels automatically upconvert video from any source, including regular TV, to the panels native resolution.
Resolution at a Glance
Another big advantage of HDMI is its simplicity. It provides a straight digital path from point A to point B without affecting the signal in any way. Plus, it doesn’t perform unnecessary compression and re-compression steps, so the signal remains in a pure, digital state. This lossless process maintains a higher level of image quality compared to other connection systems.
HDMI offers plug and play capability and accommodates all of the current ATSC digital television formats. Plus, it supports up to eight channels of audio. And despite
HDMI’s huge bandwidth power and its ability to accommodate both audio and video, the plug itself is user-friendly and substantially smaller than the computer-based DVI plug. This can be a big advantage if the shortest distance from your digital cable box to your plasma display is straight through a wall.

Right out of the box, Elite plasma TVs and monitors deliver an exceptionally vibrant, detailed picture. And now, these models offer a way to customize the viewing experience for your very own home.
Through our relationship with the renowned Imaging Science Foundation,
Inc. (ISF), all Elite plasma models comply with the ISFs Custom Calibration
Configuration (C3) standards, enabling them to be performance-optimized for the actual room in which they are placed. This means that your high-definition plasma can be fine-tuned at a customized level of calibration that was previously impossible.

With all Elite PureVision plasma displays, you’ll be able to watch NTSC (analog) broadcasts, plus three types of ATSC digital broadcasts: Standard-, Enhanced-,
Here’s how it works: as an optional service arranged through your Elite dealer, a trained professional will calibrate contrast, tint, sharpness, colour levels, and other parameters to best fit your exact viewing environment. Room layout and size, ambient light (for both day and night viewing), and other conditions that affect picture quality are measured and factored in. The professionals qualified to perform these calibrations have gone through extensive ISF-designed training, and they use sophisticated calibration equipment and software that meet strict ISF requirements. Once the ISF C3 calibrations are made to your TV, you’ll enjoy unparalleled picture accuracy customized for your home. And should you ever want to revert back to the TV’s original settings after the set is calibrated, you can. The plasma’s ISF
Mode allows you to toggle back and forth if you wish.

Elite plasma panels let you sit almost anywhere in the room without missing a pixel. They deliver a consistent, uniform image whether you’re lying on the floor, standing off to the side or seated at the end of your couch. This image uniformity enables a higher level of colour and brightness compared to rear projection monitors and LCD panels.
B L A C K S T R I P E C O A T I N G
Thinking of placing your Elite PureVision plasma panel in a well-lit room? Not a problem: Pioneer employs a patented black coating between each row of plasma cells, absorbing the light hitting the panel.
This reduces reflections coming back to your viewing position and nearly doubles the effective contrast. You’ll see blacker blacks and a more detailed picture, regardless of light conditions.

(Two-Dimensional Resolution Expander IC)
The more pixels, the better the picture. The DV-59AVi contains a Pixel Conversion IC that automatically increases the signal’s pixel count from interlaced 480 x 720 to high-definition progressive 1280 x 720 or
1920 x 1080i. Here’s how: the signal generated by the
MPEG decoder passes through the IC, where the pixel count is increased. The IC actually looks at pixel information from the previous and next film frame before the resolution is increased, ensuring an extremely accurate viewing experience. Not all pixel converters are created equal; this is a great one.

To further isolate the DV-59AVi’s components from vibration, Pioneer designed a triple-layered construction with a stainless steel stabilizing plate underneath the unit. This design improves signalreading accuracy, for higher-quality sound and video reproduction.
D I G I T A L T R A N S M I S S I O N
A next-generation DVD player must output a signal in its purest form and with high speed, for optimal quality. Select Elite DVD players do this in two ways:
1) HDMI. The DV-59AVi features a new type of alldigital output called a High Definition Multimedia
Interface, or HDMI. This high-bandwidth interface allows huge amounts of high-quality data — both video and audio — to be output at high rates of speed, up to 5GBps. HDMI doesn’t perform unnecessary D-A and A-D conversions, so the signal remains in a pure, digital state. This ensures the highest possible quality level, with improved colour reproduction and picture detail. HDMI also offers convenient plug-and-play capability and accommodates all of the current ATSC digital television formats and up to eight channels of digital audio.
2) i.LINK. In order for DVD players to deliver nextgeneration digital signals such as DVD-Audio and
SACD, new methods of transmission had to be developed. i.LINK connectivity, a.k.a. IEEE1394, is an advanced digital interface that’s become the industry standard for transmitting these highresolution multi-channel recordings. Plus, you can simplify your system: what used to take up to six different connections to achieve, i.LINK handles with a single digital connection. This enables two-way communication between components such as receivers and DVD players. (DV-59AVi and DV-47Ai)

Pioneer PureCinema’s advanced circuitry achieves high conversion accuracy by re-creating the original frames of a film and displaying them in a 3-2 order
(called 3-2 pull-down), matching the output to NTSC television standards. This creates natural, film-like images that are smooth and virtually free of bothersome artifacts on moving objects.

D V D - A U D I O A N D S A C D
DVD-Audio (DVD-A) and Super Audio CD (SACD) represent the future of audio on disc: high-density, high-resolution music that is miles ahead of CD. The music is bigger, more detailed, and more open, and you will definitely hear the difference. (DV-59AVi,
DV-47Ai, DV-45A)
Here are the key advantages of DVD-Audio and
SACD:
• More data. They’re encoded differently, but discs of both formats can hold a huge amount of data, far more than an Audio CD. DVD-As can hold 4.7GB of data, and SACDs about 4.0GB. Rather than use all this digital real estate just to add more CD-quality songs, it’s being used for…..
• Better music. This is the key. With all that data capacity, music can be formatted into two channels
(stereo) at a 192kHz, 24-bit rate, which may be the highest level of quality you will hear in your lifetime. Or into six channels at a 96kHz, 24-bit rate, creating a full-octane, 5.1 surround field that swirls around you.

S T E R E O P H O N I C P H I L O S O P H Y
With high-resolution content becoming more available, receivers must be able to reproduce detailed information with high precision. With this in mind, Pioneer created its Advanced Multi-Channel
Stereophonic Philosophy based on experience gained at top professional recording studios, including AIR Studios in London.
The key principles of this philosophy are:
Highest Quality Equipment
The use of the highest quality parts and superior design and construction ensure the ultimate in sound quality.
Precise Sound Reproduction
Pioneer Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration
Circuit (MCACC) automatically calibrates your speaker system’s sound characteristics to create professional-level audio for your media room.
Professional Expertise
Final sound tuning by AIR Studios engineers ensures that Elite receivers can provide the highest sonic performance. In addition, THX certification lets the artistic qualities of the sound shine through.
The tangible result of Pioneer’s Advanced
Multi-Channel Stereophonic Philosophy is exceptional fidelity, both in traditional stereo and multi-channel recordings.
MCACC (MULTI-CHANNEL
ACOUSTIC CALIBRATION SYSTEM)
Just as professional dubbing studios need to be fine-tuned for optimal performance, so do home theater systems. The question is: how can you optimize your home theater system without an expert’s help?
The answer: Pioneer’s Multi-Channel
Acoustic Calibration System, or MCACC.
Based on years of research at our R&D center, MCACC is the world’s first fully automated acoustic calibration system. It evaluates the acoustic characteristics of your media room and calibrates the speaker system accordingly, for professional-level sonic performance. It works in any room, regardless of shape or size.
M E A S U R E M E N T A N D
C A L I B R A T I O N
MCACC sends out pink noise signals and test tones that are read by a sensitive calibration m i c r o p h o n e , measuring the response from each of the multi-channel speakers in your system. MCACC then performs these five processes:
•
•
Checks for the absence or presence of connected speakers.
Detects speaker size (large or small)
• Equalizes for the distances between
•
• speakers.
Neutralizes any differences in sound pressure level.
Performs frequency equalization to avoid phase-shift, which deteriorates sound quality.
There are two separate frequency equalization modes: one for flat curve (All-Channel
EQ) and the other for aligning to the front left and right speakers (Front Alignment
EQ). Once set-up is complete, you can select one of these two EQ settings.
• All-Channel EQ equalizes all speakers, creating a much flatter frequency response.
• Front Alignment EQ doesn’t make any adjustment for the main front left and right speakers but equalizes the others
(center, surround right and left, surround-back right and left) to match the tonal character of your main speakers.
With MCACC, you can have the ultimate home theater — one that is customized for your own home.

In addition, the VSX-59TXi, VSX-56TXi, and VSX-54TX incorporate a new and improved Advanced MCACC system which provides even higher precision. By applying
Time Aligned Dynamic Acoustic Treatment,
Advanced MCACC can distinguish between direct sound and room reverberations.
Using a PC connected to the units’ RS232 output, you can actually view 3-dimensional graphics of each channel’s frequency response — your room’s acoustic signature.
T H E A T E R S O U N D ,
R I G H T A T H O M E
The benefits of MCACC can be significant and very audible. Here are just a few:
• A more natural sonic mix between speakers, and a much wider sound stage.
• A true 3-dimensional sound field, especially from surround speakers.
• A longer reverb that’s more like the original soundtrack.
• More sonic detail. Certain sounds which were previously masked by other sounds can be heard for the first time on your system.
P R O C E S S I N G P O W E R
To carry out heavyweight tasks like MCACC, all Elite receivers employ professional-grade processors which form a “digital core engine”, for the highest quality digital audio.
These processors provide digital decoding and high-level processing for such critical tasks as MCACC, Dolby/DTS/THX processing, and Hi-Bit Conversion. The VSX-59TXi uses a powerful combination of two Sharc
Melody Ultra processors and the Motorola
48- bit/150-MIPS processor; the other three models employ this high-end Motorola processor. All models also contain a highgrade 192kHz/24-bit D-A converter for each of the 8 channels, ensuring that signal purity is maintained from input to output.

VSX-59TX i
DV-59AVi i.LINK
High-resolution multi-channel formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD contain far more data than regular CDs, and they include copy protection encryption as well. For this reason a new interface was needed, and the industry adopted an already-proven digital interface called i.LINK. Pioneer was the first to apply this advanced technology to both DVD players and A/V receivers. i.LINK actually streamlines your connections: what used to take up to six separate cables to achieve, i.LINK handles with one single wire. It also enables two-way communication between components, so control data and other messages can be sent back and forth. Plus, with Pioneer’s unique
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System), i.LINK provides jitter-free transmission of CD, DVD-Audio, and SACD between i.LINK-capable components.

Unlike regular receivers’ 2-D chassis design, our revolutionary 3-D space frame construction provides superb physical strength. Also, each receiver is divided with insulating shields into three blocks: the digital processor, the power-
& pre-amplifier, and the power supply sections. This construction design serves two purposes: it prevents the digital circuits from affecting the analog circuits, and it increases the rigidity of the cabinet structure. As a result, sound reproduction from any source is more accurate and imaging is improved.

Accurate multi-channel sound reproduction is possible only when the operating environment is physically, magnetically, and electronically identical for all channels. For that reason,
Elite receivers’ power output devices for each channel are symmetrically mounted on a pair of rigid heat sinks, with the device for the center channel mounted directly in between.

When playing DTS-encoded(CDs,LDs,DVDs),excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper pre-cautions when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround TM playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround TM decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/PDIF,AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.
DVD players and DVD Discs have Regional Code Classifications that determine their market area and compatibility. Discs and players must have matching codes in order to be played. All DVD players featured in this catalog are classed as Regional Code 1. Some discs may not be playable due to different recording formats or physical condition of the disc at the time of recording and playback.
