Pioneer LX-01 DVD System - click to enlarge
A unique home cinema system to match with the new Pioneer plasma televisions.
The beauty of the LX01 is that it is a complete home entertainment solution.
Pioneer have combined the best in technology with the best in design, to deliver a solution that looks like one, coherent piece. The LX01 not only complements your flat screen TV, but can also be expanded to support our similar-looking Blu-ray player and forthcoming AV receivers.
The perfect, coherent home entertainment solution for your living room.
The LX01 includes:
- a 250GB hard disk DVD recorder with digital terrestrial tuner HDMI with 1080p scaling
- a dual-drive subwoofer receiver
- four distinctive 3-dimensional shaped satellite speakers;
- a speaker design technology unique to Pioneer
- an LCD touch-screen remote control and separate display.
Highlights of the LX01 include:
Omni-directional speaker design
The LX01 has 2 combined front/centre speakers and 2 rear speakers; each of which has a distinctive 3-dimensional shape. Using the dodecahedron speaker concept (a dodecahedron is a geometric shape with 12 sides), the speakers deliver an ‘omni-directional’ sound. Conventional speakers generate directional sound, whereas these 3-dimensional speakers generate sound fields in all directions. The effect is very similar to musical instruments being played in a live performance. The result is a rich, 3-dimensional sound; you’ll find it difficult to discern which speaker produces which sound. The unexpectedly compact satellite speakers are particularly beneficial in instances where you have limited space, or don’t want a ‘hardware invasion’ in the living room.
Powerful subwoofer-receiver for a fuller sound
The LX01 subwoofer-receiver is also unique in design. It has dual-drive subs, which enable more powerful handling of lower frequencies.
In total the LX01 is a high-power 8-channel system; the front, centre, rear and subs each have 2 dedicated channels. A full, rich surround sound is guaranteed.
Premium DVD recorder with 1080p output
The LX01 has an integrated digital terrestrial tuner and 250GB hard disk. Besides being a fully-fledged DVD recorder with GuidePlus+ Electronic Programme Guide, the system will play every kind of commercially available CD and DVD, as well as most compressed media formats.
The system also has an extended Music Library feature; you can store your favourite tracks and albums on the hard disk. The LX01 will also automatically add track and album titles (it uses the Gracenote CDDB database); a convenient and time-saving feature. You can copy CDs to the hard disk at maximum 16 times the normal speed; and at the original LPCM quality (that means that none of the original sound quality will be lost).
Additionally, you can also upload digital images or compressed audio files at high speed, from disc or via the front-in USB host.
Connecting a home PC (running Windows Media Player 10 or later) via USB, for transferring audio files directly on to the LX01 hard disk, is easy.
Copying and editing footage from a camcorder via the digital DV-In is also possible with the touch of a single button.
Connecting your iPod directly to the system is straightforward. Conveniently, a USB keyboard can also be connected directly to the LX01, useful in renaming titles and tracks.
Last but not least you can connect your Blu-ray Disc player via HDMI and the LX01 will not only turn into a Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD capable amplifier, but swiftly pass on the 1080p / 24 video on to your flat screen TV.
Our Comments: The LX-01 is an all new concept for Pioneer. The technology that you would normally expect to find in stand alone receivers and DVD recorders has made its way into an expertly packaged system. The LX-01 offers all the performance of a separate system but in a slim line casing. Build quality is very high and matches the excellent video and audio performance.
