IMAX ENHANCED

The VSX-LX504 is IMAX Enhanced, certified to deliver the powerful sound just as intended by the filmmaker, and provide the immersive experience on your home theater.

DTS:X/DTS NEURAL:X UPMIXING

DTS:X® is the next-generation audio codec from DTS that leverages object-based audio to enable new immersive and interactive audio experiences. By adding an external amplifier, the 9.2ch AV receiver can be expanded to decode 11ch for driving a 7.2.4ch surround system. Experience an immersive soundscape with incredibly rich and life-like audio. Other audio codecs such as PCM and DSD can be upmixed using DTS Neural:X for enjoying 3D surround sound. 

DOLBY ATMOS HEIGHT VIRTUALIZATION

When playing any Dolby format, engaging the Dolby Atmos Height Virtualizer enables a more immersive listening experience, creating a virtual surround and height effect from traditional speaker layouts without employing additional surround or height speakers. 

APPLE AIRPLAY 2

Apple AirPlay 2 lets you effortlessly stream music or podcasts to speakers throughout your house using any Apple device or by asking Siri, and it all stays in perfect sync.

DOLBY ATMOS/DOLBY SURROUND UPMIXING

By adding an external amplifier, the 9.2ch AV receiver can be expanded to decode 11ch to drive the 7.2.4ch configuration of the latest cinema sound platform, Dolby Atmos®. You can reproduce object-oriented sound in smooth, curving movements, or the realistic three-dimensional movement overhead by the top speakers. Other audio codecs can now be upmixed using Dolby Surround for enjoying 3D surround sound.

NEXT GENERATION VIDEO STANDARD READY

The VSX-LX504 supports pass-through for HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), and Dolby Vision signals. By connecting a compatible source device, you can enjoy these latest video standards on a compatible display. What’s more, all HDMI terminals support 4K (60p/4:4:4/24-bit), Wide Colour Gamut (BT.2020), and HDCP 2.2, so you will have no problem when upgrading to new devices, and can also enjoy premium content such as 4K videos with digital copy protection.

ADVANCED MCACC AND AUTO PHASE CONTROL PLUS

Advanced MCACC adjusts the sound according to the listening room and speakers, and also creates clearer sound by suppressing the standing waves that occur between walls or ceiling and floor. Measurement of up to nine positions can be saved for a wide listening area. Auto Phase Control Plus makes real-time analysis of the phase difference, and automatically compensates the gap between the LFE and main signals, providing strong bass and clear high-frequency sound.

WORKS WITH SONOS

By connecting the VSX-LX504 to Sonos Connect, you can play any music or audio source on your Sonos app. You can group the VSX-LX504 with other Sonos devices on the network, or use it independently. The AV receiver will automatically turn on and switch input as soon as you play music on your Sonos app.

POWERED ZONE 2/ZONE 3

With the powered feature, the VSX-LX504 can directly drive speakers in other rooms, without the need for a separate amplifier. What’s more, the dedicated DAC for Zone 2 lets you listen to all digital audio sources.

ZONE B OUTPUT FOR WIRELESS HEADPHONES

The VSX-LX504 is equipped with Zone B audio output. The Zone 2 Pre output can also used as Zone B Line output to extend the sound of Zone A (Main Zone) to another location or to wireless headphones via a transmitter.
