The new AV receivers work seamlessly with our LX Line to deliver the ultimate picture and sound performance.
Each receiver provides the full impact of new uncompressed, multi-channel audio soundtracks available on Blu-ray.
You will get the impression of being at the front row of your favourite concert.
The SC-LX81 and SC-LX71 incorporate the combination of ICEpower
analogue class D amplification with our legacy sound-tuning in
collaboration with AIR Studios in London, to produce a sound quality
that is truly unique.
The VSX-1018AH will be available in June; the VSX-LX51 in July.
The SC-LX71 and SC-LX81 will both be available later in the summer.
Features include:
Studio-quality sound at home
The SC-LX71 and SC-LX81 deliver robust, realistic sound quality as a
result of our unique Direct Energy HD Amplifier with ICEpower
technology. The result is HD surround sound at unprecedented efficiency
levels.
You can take advantage of internal decoding of advanced audio
formats (DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus) to
finally enjoy a full HD viewing experience with rich sound that
complements on-screen imagery.
The receivers feature Advanced MCACC tuning to ensure accurate,
studio-quality surround sound, regardless of the room configuration,
while Full Band Phase Control eliminates bass ‘phase lag’ often caused
by low-frequency levels in 5.1 surround sound systems.
Neural-THX is included, allowing for content produced in two-channel
stereo formats to be dispersed among 7.1 channel surround sound, as
well as a sampling rate converter (SC-LX81), guaranteeing that full
body sound arrives as intended by the sound engineer.
HD digital connectivity
Our new range brings HDMI 1.3a with support of 12-Bit Deep Colour to
deliver a stellar picture from connected sources, with a wide variety
of hues and shades.
The AV receivers are engineered for 1080p video processing and
feature a Faroudja video scaler chip that ensures full 1080p 24 Hz
performance. An incorporated audio enhancement feature with anti-jitter
technology converts the HDMI signal to maintain the integrity of the
sound conversion.
Pioneer audio synergy
We have created jitter-free playback and dynamic sound quality for music CDs.
When connected to a new Blu-ray Disc player via HDMI, the SC‑LX71
and SC-LX81 receivers playback CDs perfectly with the proprietary
Precision Quartz Locking System (PQLS). The advanced feature
synchronizes data coming from the Blu-ray Disc player to the receiver,
providing you with a feeling of being in an auditorium enjoying your
favourite band.
Networking your home
The SC-LX71 and SC-LX81 enhance your home theatre experience with the
exclusive Home Media Gallery. Through the receiver, you can easily
access and stream digital media files directly from a connected home PC
or laptop computer with media server IP networking capability.
The function is compliant with Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA), Windows Vista or Windows Media Connect, as well as Microsoft
audio DRM technology.
You can freely navigate and select content from your iPod; each
receiver has Advanced iPod Connectivity, the receiver’s remote control
and on-screen display.
