With 5 isolated and filtered outlet banks and connectivity for cable boxes, LAN, telephones and DSL modems, this power conditioner ensures that your home theater system and other electronic components remain protected from voltage fluctuation.
I am upgrading my home theater step by step (receiver, cables, power conditioner, tv, speakers) and am noticing the differences (both the obvious and the subtle) created by each upgrade. Each component has produced a noticeable performance improvement, including the Panamax 5300. I noticed a slightly more detailed and clean picture after connecting to it, I'm assuming as a result of electrical interference being filtered out. There are plenty of outlets and I like the idea of individual dedicated power banks. I can't comment on the surge protection because I haven't had (and hope to never have) a serious surge in my home. All things considered, this seems to be a quality built unit and a worthwhile addition to any home theater system.

I bought these as an upgrade to some Monster M series speaker cables I had. The sound through my DefTech speakers is now clearer and sharper than it was. The cables seem to allow more of the sound through. Treble has more clarity and things that sounded muddled before do not now. AudioQuest cables (the HDMI as well) are for real, the difference they make is really underestimated by most people. I was a sceptic, now I'm a believer. Unfortunately, they are very expensive but in the case of home theater and music setups, you really do get what you pay for.
Enjoy rich, enveloping sound with this Pioneer Elite SC-85 home theater receiver, which features 1215W total system power to ensure audio is projected in robust, clear detail. Includes HDMI 4K Ultra HD technology for compatibility with 4K Ultra HD TVs.
Pioneer SC-85 is a great performing and sounding receiver. Tons of power, this receiver can play LOUD if you want to. Plenty of connections for HDMI driven devices and speakers. It accomodates bi-amping of speakers which is a huge plus for higher end setups. The app that comes with this is awesome, you can easily control all your settings and functions from your tablet or smartphone. The app is user friendly with great graphics too. WiFi functions work great. The only negatives are that the WiFi adapter is not built in, you need to buy a separate adapter. It is also not HDCP 2.2 compliant (virtually all current receivers aren't) so the ability to view some future 4k media may be affected (or not). The future HDCP standard has not been officially decided yet so none of the receivers have incorporated it yet. This might change with the next generation of receivers. Overall, a powerful, nice sounding, nice performing receiver. You will not be dissappointed.
