Η Pioneer κυκλοφόρησε δύο νέους δέκτες AV, οι οποίοι χαρακτηρίζονται από την άμεση επαφή τους με τις συσκευές της Apple. Αμφότεροι υποστηρίζουν Bluetooth stereo audio adapter, για ασύρματη αναπαραγωγή αρχείων ήχου απόiPhone/iPod Touch/iPad σε κάποιο σύστημα home theater, ενώ υποστηρίζουν HDMI 1.4, είναι 3D Ready, και αποδίδουν ισχύ 110W σε πέντε κανάλια με το σύστημα Dolby ProLogic IIz.
Ο VSK-820-K διαθέτει θύρα USB συμβατή με το iPhone, αλλά ταυτόχρονα περιλαμβάνει την επιλογή iPhone Control, με την οποία μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιήσετε ως χειριστήριο το iPhone ή το iPod Touch. Ακόμη, διαθέτει τέσσερις θύρες HDMI, full-size USB, εισόδους RCA και μερικά έξτρα όπως Surround Sound Calibration και υποστήριξη για ραδιόφωνο μέσω δορυφόρου.
Ο VSX-520-K είναι λίγο φθηνότερος, διαθέτει τρεις θύρες HDMI, θύρες mini USB και εισόδους RCA.
Οι τιμές που έχει ανακοινώσει η Pioneer είναι 170 για τον VSX-520-K και 220 για τον VSK-820-K, ενώ θα κυκλοφορήσουν τον Απρίλιο.
