New Pioneer Blu-Ray Disc Player creates true Home Theatre experience

BonusView Blu-ray Disc Player Delivers Reference Quality Playback with Advanced Performance Features

Pioneer announces the BDP-LX71 BonusView Blu-ray Disc Player. Incorporating the latest audio and video technologies, the new player outperforms current desktop players in the market and completely redefines the world of digital entertainment. The BDP-LX71 BonusView Blu-ray Disc Player works in tandem with Pioneer's 'HD ready 1080p' KURO displays and A/V receivers, providing the most true-to-life movie experience.

"Our new Blu-ray Disc player demonstrates Pioneer's commitment to delivering an immersive seeing and hearing experience for those who want the very best" says Jim Catcheside, Product Manager at Pioneer GB. "In offering the BDP-LX71 BonusView Blu-ray Disc Player, we are solidifying Pioneer's reputation as a brand that is constantly meeting the needs of high-profile cinephiles."

Cinematic Picture Quality
Taking advantage of HDMI 1.3a technology, Pioneer brings film aficionados 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, resulting in pristine, realistic imagery. With Pioneer's 1080p HD digital film direct / 24 frames per second (fps) video output, the model 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, viewers gain a natural, high quality movie viewing experience just as they would in the cinema. Pioneer has continued to enhance high-performance DVD playback in the new player with the inclusion of the proprietary and advanced PureCinema Deinterlacer. DVDs can be scaled up to a 1080p resolution for improved picture quality and compatibility with HDTVs.

Dynamic Audio Enhances Emotional Experience
The new player supports advanced audio formats with the ability to decode Dolby TrueHD and 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. Pioneer recognises the vital importance that pure, nuanced sound plays in creating an unmatched listening experience.

Robust Quality
Superior quality is all in the detail. Pioneer's BonusView Blu-ray Disc player defines premium performance with first-rate parts, a centre loading tray which reduces vibration, dedicated audio and video boards, as well as hand constructed components. The BDP-LX71 features gold-plated connection ports, capacitance touch key buttons and an aluminium front panel that are sure to excite design enthusiasts.

Pioneer Home Theatre Synergy
Performing in harmony with KURO plasma TVs and the upcoming range of A/V receivers such as the SC LX71 or SC LX81, the new Blu-ray Disc player completes the home entertainment experience, allowing consumers to immerse themselves in stunning HD content. Its unique performance settings accurately reproduce subtle details, vivid colours and deep shadows when shown on KURO TVs. Connected to a new Pioneer SC-LX71 or SC-LX81 A/V receiver via HDMI, the BDP-LX71 perfects CD playback with the proprietary Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS). This advanced feature synchronises music data coming from the Blu-ray Disc player to the receiver, providing music lovers with high-resolution listening experience.

Consumer Convenience
Thanks to exclusive chip set design and superior build quality, significant strides in responsiveness have been made. A continued focus on unifying the appearance and enhancing the operation of its home theatre products, Pioneer has integrated the same graphical user interface look and feel as found on its KURO plasma displays and new SC-LX71 or SC-LX81 A/V receivers. Users can also customise their 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 a great investment that will meet the advancements of HD home entertainment technology.
