The Pioneer LX01 Home Cinema System is a high-grade home theater system with several components. This system includes omni-directional speakers, a 400W digital power amplifier, a 250GB DVD recorder with digital DVB-T tuner and HDMI with 1080p scaling. This system has a sleek, contemporary look for easy integration into any décor. The small size of this system makes it possible for it to be hidden, but the beauty makes you want to display it up front.

The speakers are small, yet powerful for their size with a 3-D listening effect, comparable to a live orchestra performance. The dual-drive sub permits better lower frequency sound. This 8 channel system has two dedicated channels for each speaker and the sub. With virtual surround, front stage surround, and Midnight listening mode, your sound experience will be extreme.

The DVD recorder allows such abilities as playback during recording, commercial skip, editing, preset recording, one-touch recording and pause live TV. With up to 711 hours of recording space available, missing your favorite show, movie or special event is a thing of the past.

The DVD recorder includes a music/photo library where you can upload CD’s, digital photos and videos from outside sources. This feature also automatically adds track and album titles, using the Gracenote CDDB database. It comes with the GuidePlus+ Electronic Programme guide. Also included is a Blu-Ray disc player, which can be connected via HDMI. This will turn your system into an amplifier capable of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. With seven different recording modes, usb compatibility for computers and cameras, and being iPod ready, this recorder can do it all.

The various capabilities of this home cinema system may seem overwhelming, but having everything at the tips of your fingers makes the possibilities endless.

For example, it’s able to decode HD audio formats such as Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. So, plug in a suitable HD source – such as Pioneer’s own BDP-LX70A Blu-ray deck – and you’ll be treated to surround audio far superior to anything else previously unleashed on the all-in-one-box market. But wait – there’s much more. As... Read more
