Pioneer’s iControlAV2013 is one of the best control apps we’ve come across.
#MOVIE FILES THROUGH PIONEER CONTROL APP MANUAL#
You have to press the ‘Receiver’ button every time you want to adjust any audio settings or even when pulling up the uninspiring Home Menu – it can get quite tiresome, and we found ourselves studying the manual closely to access all the different sound modes and amp settings.īefore we can get too hung up on this, though, Pioneer’s control app for smartphones and tablets solves all our problems. The VSX-923’s menu system is rather convoluted when used in conjunction with the supplied remote control.

Previously only available for Windows users, the software has now been updated for Mac and iPad users – simply download it from the Pioneer website. You can also set up the VSX-923 using Pioneer’s free AV Navigator app – a support and installation guide that runs you through all the basics of wiring and calibration.
It is a thorough and fairly accurate set-up though, but it’s still worth heading into the speaker settings for a manual check – our centre channel’s level needed adjustment. Pioneer’s Advanced MCACC Room Calibration is interminably long (and loud), so go off and make a cuppa while it runs. We’d advise a few nights’ running in before listening to the VSX-923 and using the automatic set-up to calibrate the amp with your speaker system and room environment. The internet features don’t end there, as the vTuner service provides you with plenty of radio stations alongside the built-in FM and AM tuners. You can play high-resolution audio files of up to 24-bit/192kHz in WAV, FLAC and AIFF formats over DLNA and through the USB port if your music is stored on a flash drive. The 923 can also connect to your home network to play music stored on laptops and/or networked hard drives. Unlike AirPlay, it can’t stream from third party apps such as Spotify, but it’s a good feature to have if you own an HTC smartphone. Currently compatible with HTC’s One series, we found it worked seamlessly with the HTC One’s own music player – simply click ‘Select Player’ on phone when playing a song, and once you pick the Pioneer VSX-923’s name it should start playing over the receiver instantly.

Pioneer is the only manufacturer to be HTC Connect certified – making Android wireless streaming possible for the first time. For those with Apple devices, you’ll be happy to hear that you can simply plug them into the USB port to play your music files, as well as stream them wirelessly via AirPlay. On the front panel of the VSX-923, you’ll find an MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) input to stream videos and audio directly from Android smartphones. Smartphone use is high on the list of Pioneer’s priorities, from wired playback to the excellent control app (more on that later). The Pioneer has no built-in wi-fi or Bluetooth connectivity, although you can add Pioneer’s Bluetooth Adapter (the £48 AS-BT200) for wireless Bluetooth streaming from smartphones or tablets if so desired.Īnd if you want to add wi-fi functionality, the optional AS-W元00 Wi-Fi Adapter can be bought for £49.
There are also analogue and digital connections (one coaxial and optical each), along with an ethernet port. You do get two subwoofer outputs, though. These are for connecting any front height (or width) speakers you might have – but before you get too excited, note that the VSX-923 isn’t a nine-channel system, so you’ll have to select between using the front heights or the surround back speakers.
There’s also an extra pair of speaker terminals alongside the standard seven-channel affair.

Not only do the HDMI connections support 3D and upscaling to 1080p resolution, there’s also support for future 4K ultra HD content, both for passthrough of native 4K and upscaling standard-definition content to 3840 x 2160-pixel resolution. To wit, there are eight HDMI inputs (the VSX-922 had six), and two HDMI outputs for running multiple displays.

The Pioneer VSX-923 is a 7.2 channel receiver rated at 150W per channel (into 6 ohms), and has been given a spec update over the previous version.
