130W of power per channel
The Pioneer VSX-531 is that rare case when you don't have to pay exorbitant prices for a quality receiver. With a power reserve of 130 watts per channel and a simple auto sound correction system, it will appeal to those people who would like to simply insert batteries into the remote control, connect the player to the receiver and be transported to the world of cinema.
Sometimes easier is better
The unpretentiousness of the VSX-531 is evident in the functionality and options for connecting the receiver. For example, it does not support Dolby Atmos multi-channel audio. Instead, the VSX-531 offers a basic set of Bluetooth, AM/FM radio and several physical connectors: 4 HDMI, USB port, optical input, coaxial S/P-DIF, 3 RCA for connecting an external CD/DVD player, and a separate 3.5 headphone output. Unfortunately, there is no Wi-Fi, but a priori it cannot be found in a receiver with such a price tag.
Acoustic Flexibility
The second advantage of the Pioneer VSX-531 is its sonic flexibility. Heavy and multi-layered scenes sound large and booming, quiet scenes pleasantly surprise with attention to detail. And it holds focus very well and doesn't smear details during abrupt changes in dynamics, as many entry-level receivers do. You don't have to look at the screen to figure out who's shooting at whom in Bad Boys, or where the dragon came from in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
A receiver that is friendly with music
This same purity and insight is also evident in the case of music. Moreover, we are talking not only about high-quality audio, but also streams compressed up to 192 from Apple Music and SoundCloud. So if audio quality is more important to you than support for features like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, then the Pioneer VSX-531 is a worthy buy for the money.
