Wir haben jetzt 10 Jahre nach 1991 und es ist viel passiert .....
Laut Kosai Wada kämpft Pioneer immer noch ums Überleben. Ein solch großes Schiff ins rechte Fahrwaser zu "bugsieren", ist nicht einfach. Die Umstellung der Produkte nach dem kostspieligen Flop mit der Bildplatte, die enfach nicht ans Laufen kommen wollte, kam zu oft zu spät.
Die anderen japanischen Wettbewerber waren da flexibler und vor allem schneller, weil sie einfach deutlich kleinere Produktionen und Werke hatten. Wenn eine Produktlinie nicht läuft, kann man in einem kleineren Werk die Produktion schneller anhalten, abrechen und umstellen.
Zum Ende 2000 kamen ein paar super tolle neue Produkte ins Pioneer Programm - wie der erstaunliche VSX-859 RDS Receiver, Produkte, die entweder "zu preiswert !!!" waren (und damit unglaubwürdig "billig" - der Grundig SXV 6000 läßt grüßen) oder in der Herstellung zu teuer waren.
Es gab nur ein paar neue Produkte zum Anfang 2001 .....
Hier waren sie zum ersten Mal zu sehen, die neuen VSX Multimedia A/V Receiver. Über eines dieser Modelle - den Receiver VSX 859 RDS - sind wir in 2023 gestolpert, als er mangels Reparatur entsorgt werden sollte.
Aber so richtig gewichten können wir diese Vorgänge der mehrfachen Produktions- Linien- Wechsel erst mit den sehr lesenswerten Erläuterungen in den Kolumnen des japanischen Chefredakteurs Kosai Wada, was in Japan im Hintergrund der Hifi-Branche abging ... und das war für japanische Firmenchefs gar nicht mer lustig.
Pioneer hatte in seiner Glanzzeit weltweit angeblich etwa 350.000 Mitarbeiter. Und da mußte irgend etwas produziert und auch exportiert und verkauft werden. Solch eine Produktionsstraße mit mehreren tausend Mitarbeitern und vor allem jungen Mitarbeiterinnen stellt man nicht über Nacht auf ein neues Produkt um. Was uns der Herr Wada aber in seinen Kolumnen in allen vorliegenden 18 Jahren "verschwiegen" hatte, Japan hatte schon recht früh angefangen, die Produktion auch der hochwertigen Hifi-Geräte ins billigere Ausland zu verlagern.
Aufgefallen war das an den rückseitigen Aufdrucken auf dem VSX-908 (Made in Japan) und dem Nachfolger, dem VSX-859 (Made in Indonesia) und dem gigantischen Verkaufspreis-Unterschied von 3.500.- zu 2000.-.
Wenn Sie bis unten angekommen sind : zu viele alte Produkte
Mit etwas Hintergrundwissen erkennt man, Pioneer hatte gezwungenermaßen eine Aufholjagt bei den Produkten angestoßen, weil die alten Podukte bei den Kunden weltweit nicht mehr "ankamen".
Im Rückblick wissen wir, die Zeit der CD-Wechsler, lange Zeit eine Domäne von Pioneer, war zu Ende und da gab es nichts mehr zu gewinnen. Dieser Markt war vorher schon klein und ist jetzt ganz klein. Sicher gab es bei Pioneer schon 1987 Geräte mit einem digitalen Touch. Doch der Einzug der Mikroprozessoren war unaufhaltsam - auch bei Pioneer - und dieses Wissen mußte erstmal "getankt" werden.
Der Markt für die Pioneer CD-Wechsler, die bei uns immer öfter geklemmt hatten war auch klein, weil diese mechanische Technik einfach nicht handlich war. Hatte man von einer der 300 CDs nur einen einzigen Titel programmiert, alleine das war schón aufwendig, dann dauerte das Wechseln (inzwischen zum Vergleich zu DVD Spielern oder dem PC als Quelle) viel zu lange und die Blech-Kiste klapperte auch noch hörbar vor sich hin.
.... und zu viele strahlende Gesichter - aber ohne Ausstrahlung und zu poppig
Nach den ersten 5 Seiten fragt man sich, was verkaufen die hier eigentlich ? - Zahnpasta oder die neue Hautcreme "For ever joung" oder moderne Lifestile Wohnungseinrichtungen in riesigen Millionärs- Wohnzimmern, die hier keiner bezahlen könnte ?? Es sieht alles etwas abgehoben aus, nicht mehr für die Masse der Hifi-Fans gedacht - wie das früher der Fall war. So öffnet man die Tür für den Wettbewerb - oder war diese Tür schon zu lange offen ? Jedenfalls konnten die finanziell potenten Kinder der Babyboomer mit den ganzen Kinderfotos nichts rechtes anfangen - ich auch nicht - und damals war ich 55.

Extra features mean not only stunning soundtracks but also additional language tracks on one disc. And Dolby Digital has gone a step further with THX Surround EX, a co-development between Dolby Digital and THX, which adds another audio channel to the soundtrack behind the listener, meaning more depth and localisation for even more sound perfection.

Build towards the Ultimate in Digital Home Cinema
A home cinema system does not mean starting over. Simply begin with what you have : YOUR VCR, TV set and hi-fi speakers. The first step is to add a DVD player for drastically improved image quality and digital sound. Plus DVD players come in many different forms - super compact portable players TO TAKE anywhere, standard component units and even sleek design models. You won’t believe your eyes!
Next, YOU'LL Want to add a receiver or amplifier for virtual surround sound through your hi-fi speakers. Cinema rEALISTIC, it is better than the real thing. Finally, splurge on a 5.1 surround sound system - six speakers in totAL FOR COmplete Dolby Digital or DTS wrap-around sound - the ultimate in Home Entertainment. (So ist der Original-Text !)
.
Most European homes have separate stereo and TV/VCR installations.
Step 1
To start, add a DVD player or a portable DVD unit to your TV/VCR combination. You can create a surround sound effect with your TV stereo speakers if your DVD player is equipped with a Virtual Surround decoder. Besides outstanding image quality and superb sound, DVD lets you view films in various languages with a selection of soundtracks and enjoy other easy and convenient features, such as viewing per chapter and movie angle selection.
Step 2
The next step, adding a Pioneer A/V amplifier or receiver, is the central component in any home cinema experience. The A/V amplifier or receiver connects all the units, amplifying any sound source in the system — TV, DVD, CD, MiniDisc .... A Pioneer A/V amplifier or receiver not only provides powerful sound, but you also can connect a variety of image sources, such as a video camera (easy if your A/V amplifier or receiver has a front panel input).
Step 3
The final touch, the 5.1 channel surround sound speakers, completes the ultimate home cinema experience. The two front and two rear speakers, one centre speaker above the monitor or TV and one subwoofer for low frequencies will wrap home viewers in digital surround sound - just like in the movie theatre.
Step 4

Built-in security features (gemeint sind Restriktionen)
DVD players carry a regional code number corresponding to one of six global regions. For example as shown here, region 2 covers most of Europe, the Middle East, South Africa and Japan and region 5 covers most of Africa, the CIS and India.
Additionally, most DVD discs carry the respective codes for particular regions where viewing is allowed. If the player code and the disc do not match, the disc will not be able to be played. This accounts for differences in regional culture and parental guidance. Region code-free DVD discs are also available for playing in any region.
- Anmerkung : Das war beinahe ein KO-Kriterium bzw. der Todesstoß für die Verbreitung der Video-DVDs. Die Überschrift ist dermaßen irreführend, denn es hat nur etwas mit "Verbieten" und "Verboten" und nicht mit Sicherheit zu tun. Ab 2010 lachte man nur noch über diese dummen Ideen, den Kunden zu reglementieren und so zu "beschützen". Jeder PC kann heute in 2024 jede DVD abspielen.
.
Portable DVD
For movie enthusiasts, what could be better? DVD at home or on the go. Feel like staying in? No worries. Just connect your DVD portable up to any TV, kick off your shoes and put your feet up. Feel like going out? With a portable DVD Player this slim and lightweight, you can also have movies "to go" — to a party, to a friend's house, on vacation ... Pioneer’s PDV range is ready to go along for the ride.
Turn it Up! - Digital Home Cinema Sound
Technology is taking off and the home cinema audience is most certainly listening. Thanks to Lucasfilm’s THX division, DVD home cinema audiences can enjoy similar high-tech sound effects found in movie theatres. The THX label guarantees that the system can handle 5.1 channels for quality wrap-around surround sound performance.
Going a step further, THX joined forces with Dolby Laboratories to develop the "THX Surround EX" system. This innovation adds an extra Surround Back channel to the soundtrack, meaning that one additional sound path is decoded and actually flies right over the listener. Sound surrounding you — plus sound flying right over your head. Now, that’s realistic.
.
DTS-ES
Early this year (das war in 2000), DTS introduced a new cinema decoder: DTS-ES. Using low data compression and a high data transfer rate, DTS-ES adds an additional sound channel to digitised films, allowing filmmakers to be even more creative with sound.
This translates to better special effects that truly surround the audience like never before. The third channel flies over the head of the viewers, putting them right in the middle of the action. Used now only in cinemas, this exciting technology will most certainly be implemented in future DVD home cinema products.
.

.
Ein Blick auf die Vielfalt der Audio- und Video-Abspiel-Systeme (Stand Anfang 2001) :
Anmerkung :
Im Dezember 2022 ist uns solch ein VSX-859 A/V- Receiver geschenkt worden, natürlich mit einem eklatanten Fehler, aber dennoch reparierbar.
Und dann kam das Erstaunen, was die Pioneer Ingenieure dort alles eingebaut hatten - ganz sicher auch notgedrungen. - Es ist einer der "ganz ganz" wenigen Spitzen-Receiver und Spitzen-Verstärker dieser Epoche, die heute noch einen Analog-Fan mit einem wirklich guten MM-Phono- Vorverstärker und einer starken und vor allem hochwertigen Endstufe begeistern können. Mehr dazu kommt hier ganz am Ende und auf den speziellen VSX 859 Seiten.
.
THX Select certified, this A/V receiver is a top quality "5.1" surround system. Universal DVD player ready, it has a 5.1 channel input for stereophonic surround sound. And it can decode Dolby Digital and DTS encoded discs for a great digital home cinema experience.
.
- Anmerkung : Im "kleineren" 839 ist nur die 5+1 Technik aktiviert und er hat auch weniger Codecs, aber das gleiche Netzteil und die gleiche starke hervorragende 5-Kanal Endstufe. Und es gibt ihn nur in schwarz, also es gibt wirklich nur wenige Gründe, ihn zu kaufen, vielleicht als Ersatzteillager.
.
7.1 Channel Surround Add-On Amplifiers
.
M-10X (120 W x 2)
You’re probably thinking THX Surround EX, right ? This is why we’ve designed this golden amplifier specifically to enhance the additional 2 Surround Back channels, in the THX Surround EX system. And the gold finish perfectly matches the other components - VSA-E08 and VSX-909 RDS-G. Just the extra touch you’d expect.
.
Es geht weiter mit : A/V Amplifiers & Receivers
.
VSX-709 RDS - 80 W x 5
Here’s cutting-edge technology in an A/V receiver: Dolby Digital and a DTS decoder plus a front A/V input with S-video and a digital output - all combined with an RDS tuner.
VSX-609 RDS - 80 W x 5
This A/V receiver with RDS tuner incorporates Dolby Digital surround sound and DTS superior sound localisation. It also features a 5.1 channel input for multi-channel audio like future DVD-A players.
VSX-409 RDS - 80 W x 5
Looking for Dolby Pro Logic surround at an affordable price? Then this A/V receiver with its 5.1 channel input is designed for you. And it's a perfect partner for the DV-636D DVD player which has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders.
.
- Anmerkung : Diese 3 Receiver waren zu der Zeit bereits nicht mehr verkaufbar, weil die Technik ziemlich schnell darüber hinwegegangen war. Ob die oben gezeigten neuen A/V-Receiver bereits lieferbar waren, ist nicht sicher.

Hochinteressant - die Rückseiten
Auf den Rückseiten sieht der Fachmann, was dieses oder jenses Gerät wirklich kann. Wenn ein 7+1 Gerät (laut der Werbung) aber nur 5 Lautsprecheranschlüsse hat, hat es auch nur 5 Endstufen und eben nicht 8 Endstufen.
Und nur beim VSX 859 RDS sieht man einmalig zwei Phono-Eingänge, die wirklich nur bei diesem einen Gerät eingebaut sind. Jahre vorher gabs das nicht mehr und Jahre danach gabs das auch nicht mehr - also ein glücklicher Sonderfall.
