Pioneer LX01BD
Journey to the centre of experience.
Enjoy the total sensation of home cinema. With precision and great attention to detail, the LX01BD combines top performance with a sleek and contemporary design that will lift your viewing environment.
The LX01BD features native 1080p resolution, the same cinematic picture quality of our KURO flat screen TVs. It plays films at 24 frames per second - master quality that is absolutely true to the original, just as the director intended.
Supporting HDMI Deep Colour, the system reproduces an unprecedented range of colour tones and exceptionally smooth transitions.
Perfectly equipped for the latest HD media, the LX01BD fully exploits the audiovisual benefits of audio formats such as DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, while keeping the clarity and dynamics of the original signal intact. What you hear is ‘lossless’, studio-quality sound.
The speakers are based on a unique dodecahedron - a geometric shape with 12 sides - design concept, which allows them to generate sound fields orientated in all directions. The result is a three-dimensional soundscape that completely fills your living room. In addition, a dual-drive subwoofer enables more powerful handling of lower frequencies.
The system’s Front Stage Surround Advance feature creates the striking immediacy and realism of a 360° audio environment without the need to position the speakers at different points in the room. Just place them alongside your TV, facing the front. Neat and elegant, without even the slightest loss of sound quality.
The system is also equipped with MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration), a sophisticated technology that actively ‘listens’ and creates a soundscape automatically adjusted and optimised to the acoustics of your home entertainment space.
The LX01BD is ready for your iPod, too. Simply connect your iPod and control it with the system’s remote.
For exceptionally straightforward operation, the LX01BD has an easy-to-use LCD touch-screen remote control, giving you quick and direct access to all the functions you need. The system also supports the connectivity feature KURO LINK that allows you to control the main functions of all your compatible Pioneer equipment with a single remote.
