Pioneer Pumps Out HDMI 1.4 and 3D-Ready Receivers

By Rachel Cericola

Ready to rock in a new era of audio/video technology? One of Pioneer's five new receivers may be just what you need.

The company just announced a selection of new receivers that include HDMI version 1.4, Dolby Pro Logic IIz support, and are 3D-ready for whenever you are ready to take your TV to the next level. The new models include:

The VSX-1120-K is 3D-ready, with Works with iPhone certification, an iPhone button, and Bluetooth support.

Each one also offers Bluetooth streaming support, which means you can listen to music from your iPod, iPhone or other portable bluetooth-enabled device through your audio/video rig without any additional wires. The optional AS-BT100 Bluetooth adapter ($99 MSRP) is needed for that nifty feature.

If you've got an iPhone or iPod Touch, you might want to opt for the VSX-1020-K or VSX-1120-K. Each one allows users to control volume, inputs, zones, and other features via the portable device and the free iControlAV App. Other features on those two models include Pioneer's PQLS technology, on-screen album art, and web radio features, when connected to an Internet device. Each model comes with 24 preloaded preset stations.

Amazon is currently taking orders for the five models, as well as offering free shipping for each.
