Pioneer PDP-LX508A, PDP-LX608A manual Enjoy movie images and sound just as they were mastered

Enjoy movie images and sound just as they were mastered.

Conventional Blu-ray Disc players deliver video signals at 60 frames per second (fps), rather than at the 24fps at which they are filmed. This means you don’t see movies at their original level of quality. What’s more, ordinary DVD players cannot exactly reproduce the original audio signals, either. To overcome these limitations, Pioneer has provided the BDP-LX70A with 1080p/24fps video and Lossless Sound audio capabilities, enabling you to enjoy movie images and sound just as they were mastered in the studio.

Home Media Gallery for playing PC files.

You can enjoy high-quality reproduction of moving pictures, music or image files stored on your PC simply by connecting the player to it or a hub with the supplied LAN cable. You also get the ability to find files fast with various search options like genre, title and so on.

Direct video output at 1080p/24fps

gives you the film as it was meant to be seen.

This high quality signal output lets you view the original video quality as it was mastered in the studio. You can appreciate the actual intentions of the director and cinematographer: the delicate atmosphere of a dream-like scene, for example.

Bringing you the Òlossless soundÓ of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio*.

Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio deliver sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, which is why it is called “lossless sound.” What you hear is completely faithful to the original sound. With its ability to output the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bit streams via HDMI, the BDP-LX70A lets you experience the full potential of the Blu-Ray Disc format. It is also compatible with DTS-HD High Resolusion Audio* (via HDMI), Dolby Digital Plus (via HDMI), Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, so you can enjoy all the high quality movie sound formats.

Finest parts and stable construction help ensure high quality reproduction.

To ensure high precision reading of a vast quantity of data – five times greater than on a conventional DVD – the BDP-LX70A employs a Pioneer-developed pickup. Every part is selected for maximum picture and sound quality, including Burr-Brown DACs for noise-free analogue output and machined gold-plated terminals. In addition, the chassis has a highly rigid double-layer construction for superior vibration damping.

Pioneer’s Pursuit of Perfection

Conveying emotion: itÕs a matter of timing.

The standard film format of movies is 24 frames per second. The ideas and aims of the director are embedded into the movie according to this timing. If the video signal is converted to an unsynchronised 60fps, the timing will be slightly off, and the conveying of subtle emotions will suffer. With 1080p/24fps, Pioneer makes every emotion as clear as the director intended it to be.
