The design philosophy of Pioneer's LX series AV receivers is to bring studio-quality sound to your living room. Incorporating the combination of 'ICEpower' analogue class D amplification and Pioneer's legacy sound-tuning in collaboration with AIR Studios, the SC-LX82 realises true simultaneous multi-channel high power output. The additional 'THX Select2 Plus' certification makes it the perfect home cinema receiver.

This receiver includes Pioneer's exclusive 'Advanced MCACC' (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) system. At the touch of a button, it will measure and analyse the reverb characteristics of your speakers and optimally tune the sound output to your setup.

When connected to a BDP-LX52 Blu-ray player via HDMI, the player and receiver use a unique 'PQLS Multi-Surround' technology for a jitterless transmission, ensuring optimum audio quality. 'Full Band Phase Control' eliminates bass phasing problems to improve multi-channel sound fields and corrects phase irregularities. A sampling rate converter up-samples all digital signals to 192kHz to improve sound staging, low level detail and the purity of high frequencies.

The SC-LX82 has a LAN interface, and is DLNA certified, which allows you to enjoy internet radio and access content from your home media network. Plug and play your iPod or iPhone directly (a cable is included, no dock is necessary). The audio connection is digital, which guarantees transfer without intermediate digital-to-analogue or analogue-to-digital conversions. What you hear is pure.
