Product Information

As a complement to the Xbox 360, the Pioneer HTS-GS1 is naturally designed for high performance gaming. This is clearly evidenced in its rather robust 600 watts of RMS power. This 5.1 channel home theater system also bears the hallmarks of Pioneer�s easy to install consumer theater systems. Although it has more wires than is considered ordinary for a gaming system, all the connections to this Pioneer home theater system are integrated into the subwoofer and are color-coded. Installation of the Pioneer HTS-GS1 should take about one hour, less if the users shun the rear speakers in favor of the Front Stage Surround Sound feature which produces virtual sound fields that seem to come from anywhere in a room. Moreover, this Pioneer home theater system houses a surround sound of 5.1 channels with Dolby Digital/Pro Logic II and DTS decoding. Those audio explosions, gunfire, and crowd noises familiar to gamers� ears can be made more vivid with the Auto MCACC feature which adjusts the audio characteristics to the particularities of a room for added clarity. An ultra high-end calibration microphone is placed in an area where the gamer is sitting and adjusts the sound to the dimensions and other specifics of the room. Some other nifty features of this 5.1 channel home theater system include the Sound Retriever which restores compressed audio formats and a remote with a digital display and buttons designed to mimic those of the Xbox. The Pioneer HTS-GS1 is ideal for small to medium-sized gaming rooms.
