Powering the highest resolutions

The VSX-835 supports 4K Ultra HD as well as 8K resolution. 8K is the best in the market, displaying a super-immersive viewing experience with 2x the horizontal and vertical resolution of 4K and 4 times as many pixels. No matter what tv you have, we’ve got you covered.

Pioneering Dolby Atmos Music

Using ground-breaking technology to elevate audio beyond the realm of movies and TV, Dolby Atmos Music allows musical creators to produce and mix with spatial audio elements for a more captivating experience. Pioneer audio/video receivers are some of the first home AVRs to play Dolby Atmos content via HDMI input from your favorite streaming devices.

Lossless quality restored

Our Advanced Sound Retriever technology restores the output of compressed audio (such as WMA, AAC, and MP3) to their original lossless quality by creating new signals to restore the minor details left out during the compression process.

Enveloping overhead sound, speakers optional

DTS:X automatically adapts audio to existing channels and speaker setups, so no specific speaker layout is required. Upping the ante, DTS Virtual:X adds nuanced, three-dimensional sound without height or rear speakers. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer also allows you to experience immersive sound without the additional speakers. So no matter which format your media uses, you’ll get the enveloping sound experience.

Accounts for any room

MCACC (Multi-Channel ACoustic Calibration system) auto room tuning uses a custom microphone to automatically compensate for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalizes response, so you get the even sound you’re supposed to.

Freedom from gaming limitations

HDMI 2.1a supports a range of high video resolutions and refresh rates including 8K60 and 4K120, as well as Dynamic HDR formats. Combining a 60Hz refresh rate to enable smooth and sharp high-speed action, and HDMI 2.1a with 8K the VSX-835 ensures your system is ready for the clearest and cleanest picture available both now and down the road.

Easy connectivity

Whatever audio is playing on your phone, tablet or PC app can be streamed to the receiver with Bluetooth wireless technology. Once the receiver has paired with and remembered your device, it will start playback automatically whenever it detects an incoming Bluetooth audio stream.
