$150 · Pioneer Audio/Video Stereo Receiver VSX-D1S

The VSX-D1S is Pioneer’s most powerful audio/video receiver. It contains a versatile AM/FM tuner and a preamplifier with Dolby Pro Logic decoding as well as digital signal-processing (dsp) circuits that can synthesize four additional surround modes. The VSX-D1S has five power amplifiers: one each for left, right, and center front speakers and left and right rear speakers. The main (front) speaker amplifiers are rated to deliver 130 watts each into 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0.005 percent total harmonic distortion (THD). The center-channel and rear speaker amplifiers are rated at 40 watts each into 8 ohms at 1,000 Hz with 0.08 percent distortion. The preamplifier output and power-amplifier input for each channel are brought out to separate jacks on the rear apron, where removable jumper links permit the use of external power amplifiers. The tuner section has preset memories for up to thirty stations, either am or fm, using only ten buttons. The preamplifier has audio inputs for a moving-magnet (MM) phono cartridge (with an input-sensitivity control), a CD player, two audio tape decks, another line source, a videodisc player (vdp), three vcr’s, and an additional video sound source. In addition to the composite (RCA-jack) inputs and outputs for three vcr’s, there are separate DIN sockets for use with S-video-compatible vcr’s. There is also an S-video input for a compatible videodisc player. Works great, no remote. If the add is up it is available, $150.00 cash only.
