Pioneer BDP-LX71 Blu-ray player introduction
The new Pioneer BDP-LX71 Blu-ray disc player will arrive in Europe this summer. The BonusView (profile 1.1) player incorporates the latest audio and video technologies, and according to Pioneer it will outperform current desktop players in the market.
Working in tandem with the ‘HD Ready 1080p’ KURO TVs and AV Receivers, the BDP-LX71 will deliver a true-to-life movie experience.
Taking advantage of HDMI 1.3a technology, the player brings you to the frontier of next generation entertainment with the most cutting-edge video processing available.
HDMI 12-Bit Deep Colour is newly implemented to deliver an unprecedented range of hues and shades; what you see is pristine, realistic imagery. With the 1080p HD digital film direct / 24 frames per second video output, the player offers smooth, true-to-the-original performance of film based Blu-ray Disc movies.
By preserving the feature film scene cadence in which Blu-ray Disc titles are authored and feature films are captured, you gain a natural, high quality movie viewing experience just as you would in the theatre.
The new player also includes the Pioneer proprietary and advanced PureCinema Deinterlacer, which means that you can enjoy your DVD collection scaled up to a 1080p resolution for improved picture quality and compatibility with HDTVs.
Dynamic audio to enhance your entertainment experience
The BDP-LX71 supports advanced audio formats with the ability to decode:
• Dolby TrueHD
• Dolby Digital Plus
• DTS HD* and
• DTS HD Master* high resolution audio formats.
Typically utilised by high-end audio manufacturers and in professional audio equipment, professional-quality Wolfson Digital Audio Converters (DACs) ensure the highest level of audio performance.
What you hear is pure, nuanced sound that gives you an unmatched listening experience.
Robust, superior quality
The quality is in the details. The BDP-LX71 includes first-rate parts, a centre loading tray which reduces vibration, dedicated audio and video boards, as well as hand constructed components.
The player also features gold-plated connection ports, capacitance touch key buttons and an aluminum front panel.
Home theatre synergy with all your Pioneer products
Performing in concert with KURO plasma TVs and the upcoming range of AV receivers such as the SC-LX71 or SC-LX81, the new Blu-ray Disc player completes the high definition home entertainment experience.
The performance settings accurately reproduce subtle details, vivid colours and deep shadows when shown on KURO TVs. Connected to a new SC-LX71 or SC-LX81 AV receiver via HDMI, the BDP-LX71 perfects CD playback with the proprietary Precision Quartz Locking System (PQLS). This advanced feature synchronises music data coming from the Blu-ray Disc player to the receiver, providing music lovers with an affecting high-resolution listening experience.
Convenience in your hands with the Pioneer BDP-LX71
Thanks to exclusive chip set design and superior build quality, significant improvements in responsiveness have been made.
Pioneer integrated the same graphical user interface look and feel as found on our KURO plasma TVs and new SC-LX71 or SC-LX81 AV receivers. You can also customise your viewing experience with the exclusive “video adjust mode” that includes predefined settings and allows manual adjustments of most image parameters.
For discerning entertainment junkies, the player is the choice investment that will meet the advancements of HD home entertainment technology.
