You can enjoy 2-ch audio in a separate room (ZONE 2/ZONE 3) while performing 5.1-ch playback in the main room. The same source can be played back in the main room and ZONE 2/ZONE 3 simultaneously. Also, different sources can be played back in both rooms.

Next Generation Video
The VSX-LX303 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 Color 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.

MCACC Auto Room Tuning
Create the optimum acoustic environment with Pioneer's MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System), developed with the expertise of professional recording studios. With the custom microphone, the system automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and distance and equalizes response.

Synchronized Sound with Phase Control
As an innovative solution for the phase lag between the subwoofer and the main channel speakers caused by the bass management filter, Phase Control compensates the delayed bass to improve sound synchronization.

Reflex Optimizer
When using Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers, high directivity sound from the unit reflects off the ceiling, while low directivity sound directly reaches the ears. The different pathways cause a phase shift, making the sound feel uncomfortable. The Reflex Optimizer which uses the Phase Control technology adjusts this shift and improves the localization of the sound image by aligning the frequencies with those of the floor speakers, creating the ideal reproduction environment.

Multi-room Audio Offers a Variety of Ways to Enjoy Music
FlareConnect shares audio from network and external audio input sources between compatible components. Enjoy effortless multi-room playback of LP records, CDs, network music services and more with supported components and speaker systems. Music selection, speaker grouping and playback management across the home are built into the Pioneer Remote App.

Chromecast built-in
The VSX-LX303 comes with Chromecast built-in, so you can use your mobile device to stream your favorite music, radio or podcasts to your speaker. You can control the audio from anywhere in the house using Chromecast enabled apps running on your personal device-iPhone, iPad, Android phone and tablet, Mac and Windows laptop and Chromebook. The VSX-LX303 also works with Google Assistant, so you can give voice commands via Google Assistant built-in devices such as Google Home to operate the AV receiver without lifting a finger. Discover Chromecast-enabled apps at google.com/cast/apps.

DTS Play-Fi
DTS Play-Fi wirelessly streams any audio content from any compatible mobile device to the VSX-LX303 and DTS Play-Fi compatible audio systems, creating a multi-room system in your home. You can stream different sources to different speakers at the same time from the Pioneer Music Control App.
