Feature Highlights of Pioneer’s A/V Pre-Main Amplifier & Receivers Collaboration with ICEpower — Direct Energy HD Amplifier LX90 LX83 LX73 ICEpower and Pioneer have collaborated to develop a unique power module — the Direct Energy HD Amplifier. Pioneer's technologies have been combined with the ICEpower amplifier which features multiple feedbacks to overcome the drawbacks typical of class D amplifiers. The SC line A/V premain amplifier and receivers are capable of delivering overwhelming power, free of distortion. This year, the Direct Energy HD Amplifier has further evolved — finetuned to every detail including the LPF. The result is added power capacity which clearly shows in the sound. The units are compatible with the latest high definition audio formats, and the SC-LX90 and SC-LX83 are also THX Ultra2 Plus certified. Advanced Construction LX83 LX73 LX53 The SC-LX83, SC-LX73, and VSX-LX53 inherit the separated construction concept of Pioneer's flagship SC-LX90 pre-main amplifier, providing reduced noise and interference for quality sound and video reproduction. Hi-bit 32/Hi-sampling LX83 These two technologies work together to create undistorted sound, bringing out the best in the new 32-bit DAC. The 32-bit DAC hardware alone does not reproduce better sound. Maximum performance is gained by applying the Hi-bit 32 processing to expand signal resolution, creating more detailed, smooth sound, closer to the original analogue signal. Hibit 32 also increases the sound pressure for a tactile listening experience, and the more channels you have, the more impressive it becomes. It is effective for multi-channel content on DVD/Blu-ray Disc as well as CD audio, and works with any disc player. Hi-sampling expands the range of the high frequencies, providing richly detailed, natural sound.

The system — complete with custom microphone — automatically compensates for differences in speaker size, level and distance, and equalises response. Advanced MCACC VSX-1020-K VSX-920-K The Advanced MCACC uses a 3D calibration method with even more precise measurements by including the time axis. The A/V receivers also feature a speaker polarity check for detecting misconnected cables, and a reverb measurement display for showing before/after calibration results (except SC-LX90). With the latest improvement, the system automatically measures crossover frequency* — much easier than the previous manual setting — and also lets you save measured data on USB memory for cable-less PC viewing*. * Except VSX-920-K Phase Control LX73 LX53 1020 920 820 520 420 RS320 Phase Control is an innovative solution for the phase lag in a multi-channel speaker setting. It compensates the delayed bass to improve sound synchronisation. Full Band Phase Control LX90 LX83 LX73 LX53 LX90 LX83 The further advanced Full Band Phase Control technology focuses on the group delay in the speaker network filter, and compensates with special digital signal processing (DSP), to adjust the phase of each unit as well as the group delay for each speaker. Full Band Phase Control gives multi-range speakers the sound coherence of full-range speakers, while retaining the wide frequency range advantage. Various Speaker Settings LX83 LX73 LX53 1020 920 Previous A/V receiver models only allowed surround back speakers for a 7.1-channel layout. This year's lineup provides more options in terms of speaker placement. Combine front wide speakers with Pioneer-original Wide Surround mode to enjoy more spacious sound in the front. Wide Surround Movie provides motion feeling in front, while Wide Surround Music creates a wide-spreading sound field in the foreground. Or place front height speakers and use Dolby Pro Logic IIz for vertical-spreading sound. If you can only place 5.1-channel speakers, Pioneer's Virtual Height/Surround Back modes offer an ideal solution. Each mode creates height/surround back sound image without real speakers. The two modes can even be combined to enjoy virtual 9.1-channel sound from 5.1-channel speaker settings. By adding front wide speakers, you can enjoy virtual 11.1-channel sound from 7.1-channel speaker layout. Standard 7.1ch 820 520 Front Wide Speakers + Wide Surround Mode VSX-820-K VSX-520-K Dolby Pro Logic IIz LX83 LX73 LX53 1020 920 820 520 420 RS320 1020 920 Virtual Height Mode Virtual Surround Back Mode VSX-420-K VSX-RS320-K NEW NEW Dolby Pro Logic IIz realises more spacious surround sound by adding front height channels to the conventional 5.1ch/7.1ch speaker settings. The enveloping sound with additional depth and dimension creates a lifelike listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIz does not require special contents, and works with existing soundtracks. HDMI (V. 1.4a with 3D) LX83 LX73 LX53 1020 920 820 520 With Pioneer's new A/V receivers featuring HDMI V. 1.4a with 3D technology, you can enjoy the latest Blu-ray 3D Discs, games, and broadcasts. All you need is a Blu-ray 3D compatible player/game console and 3D compatible display. Audio Return Channel (ARC) The ARC feature allows a TV with built-in tuner to send audio data “upstream” to the A/V receiver via HDMI — so there’s no need for a separate audio cable. PQLS with HDMI Pioneer's Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS) eliminates distortion caused by timing errors, giving the best possible digital-to-analogue conversion. PQLS 2ch Audio Through HDMI connection, the PQLS 2ch Audio allows accurate CD- DA signal transmission from a compatible Pioneer Blu-ray Disc player, reproducing jitter-free, dynamic sound. PQLS Multi-Surround Connected to a compatible Pioneer Blu-ray Disc player via HDMI, the SC-LX83, SC-LX73, and VSX-LX53 create ideal multi-channel audio playback with jitter-free signal transmission and precise reproduction of minute details. PQLS Bit-stream This latest PQLS technology allows jitter-less bit-stream signal transmission from a compatible Pioneer Blu-ray Disc player for CD audio and DVD/Blu-ray Disc multi-channel content, letting you enjoy threedimensional sound full of detail.

The Advanced Sound Retriever creates new signals to restore the minor details left out during the compression process. Multi-Channel Advanced Sound Retriever LX83 LX73 LX53 LX83 LX83 LX73 LX53 LX83 LX73 LX53 1020 920 LX83 LX73 LX53 1020 920 Advanced Sound Retriever for multi-surround sound is compatible with DVD soundtracks featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.

Pioneer's Sound Retriever AIR is the world's first technology for improving the quality of Bluetooth transmitted sound. It restores the music cadence lost through compression, and also reduces the noise generated by Bluetooth transmission resulting in a better S/N ratio. Triple HD Video Noise Reduction LX83 LX73 LX53 The A/V receivers feature three separate noise reduction circuits for enhanced video performance. - Component Frame Noise Reduction (YNR/CNR): reduces Gaussian noise without blurring the picture - Block Noise Reduction: reduces block noise found in flat areas - Mosquito Noise Reduction: reduces noise along the outline of the images The Pioneer-exclusive advanced PureCinema I/P Converter also helps to remove annoying lines during playback. DLNA ver. 1.5 Compatible LX83 This unit is compatible with DLNA ver. 1.5, enabled to work not only as a Digital Media Player for playing DMS audio files, but also as a Digital Media Renderer to be remotely controlled by a device such as a smartphone or PC. For example, you can listen to audio files on a PC in another room, from a separate device in your living room. DLNA ver. 1.0 allowed certified products to work together, even between different brands. The latest DLNA ver. 1.5 allows additional devices such as mobile phones to be included in a home network, and also provides wider options of playable formats and control. iControlAV App for iPhone and iPod touch LX83 LX73 LX53 1020 920 iControlAV is an iPhone/iPod touch application developed by Pioneer, freely downloadable from the App Store. The application allows you to use your iPhone/iPod touch as a remote for controlling the A/V receiver's functions such as volume, zone, input, PQLS, Phase Control, balance, and emphasis. Enjoy smooth control on your iPhone/iPod touch screen, with support for 7 languages (same setting as your iPhone/iPod touch). * A/V receiver needs to be connected to a wired LAN in a Wireless LAN network.
