Pioneer Audio / Video Multi Channel Receiver

Stephen from Greytown

Pioneer Audio / Video Multi-Channel Receiver with Wharfedale speakers

Pioneer's packed the affordable VSX-D511 with exciting home theater and music features! For starters, you get Dolby® Digital, DTS®, and Pro Logic™ II surround processing, plus 100 watts x 5 channels of clean Pioneer power to ensure crisp, dynamic sound at all times. This receiver also boasts 96kHz/24-bit D/A converters for smooth, lifelike sound from all your digital sources.

For an even more enveloping home theater experience, Pioneer's Virtual Surround Back processing uses advanced sound imaging to reproduce a phantom rear surround speaker. You also get DSP modes for music and movies, including 5-Channel Stereo mode for playing stereo music sources through all of your home theater speakers. When you don't want to disturb sleeping housemates with late-night movies, Pioneer's Midnight Listening mode adjusts the subwoofer, rear, and center speaker levels while compressing dynamic range for greater enjoyment of surround sound at low volumes.

The back panel sports plenty of inputs for all your audio and video sources, including 2 digital inputs and 3 S-video inputs. A 5.1-channel analog input, combined with the VSX-D511's wide-range frequency response (up to 100,000 Hz!), lets you make the most of high-resolution multichannel formats like DVD-Audio and SACD.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
