Newest-generation audio formats.
The audio section of the receivers is equipped to handle the new uncompressed, high resolution sound formats Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio as well as the multi-channel format Dolby Digital Plus. Our AV receivers not only
process signals with the greatest accuracy for the purest, richest sounds and images imaginable, they can also actively
refine your audiovisual experience. Front Stage Surround Advance, for example, creates a stunningly real sound sphere
using just two speakers. With the Advanced Sound Retriever function, even compressed data formats like MP3 come alive
in vibrant quality. The special Pioneer technology Full Band Phase Control, which aligns sound phases, provides even
greater sonic purity – especially in the low ranges. And Auto Level Control eliminates volume differences, for example,
when playing content from an MP3 device.

There’s no substitute
for individuality.
Get personal.
Transform your listening and viewing environment into an entirely new and fascinating place. Our AV receivers feature
Advanced MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System), a technology that actively “listens” and
creates a soundscape automatically adjusted to the acoustics of your home entertainment space.
The exceptionally powerful new AV receivers SC-LX81 and SC-LX71 are equipped with Direct Energy
HD amplifiers that use ICEpower technology to produce a level of multi-channel power output, fidelity, and
efficiency never before seen or heard in a home AV device. Like the VSX-LX70, they are tested in London‘s prestigious
AIR Studios, and bear THX certification – a guarantee of audio performance at the highest level.
More than authentic.
Designed to function seamlessly with KURO flat screen TVs and Blu-ray players, the new-generation AV receivers use
HDMI technology for lossless data transfer. They support HDMI Deep Colour which makes transitions
smoother and colours more intense than ever. The ability to handle 24p signals guarantees that every Blu-ray
film is played back at the original speed of 24 frames per second with which the films were shot, mastered and stored
on disc. For perfect, cinema-quality picture characteristics, the receivers offer upscaling to brilliant 1080p resolution.
And with KURO LINK, you can easily operate the main functions of your receiver via the remote control of your KURO
flat screen TV.
Increase your options.
To give you maximum convenience and flexibility in watching and listening, our top-of-the-range AV receivers are equipped
with a LAN interface for integration into your home network. The SC-LX81 and SC-LX71 are DLNA certified and
let you listen to Internet radio as well as enjoy JPEG images and music stored on one or more network servers.
Most of our multi-channel receivers are iPod digital compatible, letting you connect your iPod directly to the receiver
and control it using the receiver’s remote. Needless to say, your music is transferred without loss of detail in brilliant
digital quality.
