The fact that the VSX-1131 has seven amplifier channels immediately points to the major difference to the smaller models. With the VSX-1131 the serious home cineaste can also operate a Dolby Atmos loudspeaker set with its additional ceiling speakers or “Atmos Enabled Speakers” and so get the first truly enveloping sound in all three spatial dimensions. dts:X as a second object-based surround format follows in a free firmware upgrade. With 160 watts per channel, the amplifier output meets higher demands, similar to the seven HDMI ports, one of which is located on the front panel. This allows you to quickly connect external players without much hassle. The VSX-1131 supports 4K UltraHD with HDR on every HDMI port, while it can convert Full HD into 4K using its powerful video scalers.
Music lovers actually no longer need to connect a player to the VSX-1131, because the receiver already has all the various streaming options installed. With Spotify, Tidal and Deezer, all the payment streaming services are supported; with the latter two even providing full CD quality. TuneIn adds thousands of web radio stations, while AirPlay, Google Play and Bluetooth provide matching wireless access to every tablet or smart phone. And if you’re planning a multi-room system in the near future, you’ll be happy to know that the VSX-1131 is already compatible with FireConnect and so able to feed all connected sources into a corresponding system.
