Perfectly equipped; whether you're watching, listening or playing.

High Definition Audio supportedFrom original cinema sound to the playback of compressed music formats, the Pioneer VSX-LX52 delivers a performance perfectly in tune with your requirements.

Crystal-clear playback of video signals up to 1080p and x.v.Colour and Deep Colour for lifelike, vibrant colours with smooth gradient transitions, make the VSX-LX52 the ideal AV Receiver for full high definition home entertainment.

The VSX-LX52 is the perfect partner for Blu-ray discs and HD television. Built-in Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and Low Jitter Master Clock guarantee pure, "lossless" quality audio, delivering the full, rich sound, high-definition sound you need to bring HD images to life.

An advanced on-screen GUI, KURO LINK and Multi Link plus 7 HDMI terminals (5 in, 2 out) including one HDMI terminal on the front panel, provide the connectivity and control you need to optimise your system to the max.

Made for iPod. Works with iPhoneA front-panel digital iPod USB connection provides direct plug-and-play enjoyment of all tracks stored on your iPod or iPhone, without the need for a docking station. The digital audio connection eliminates the need for additional digital-analogue-digital conversions, so what you hear is pure. (iPod/iPhone video and USB audio cable included)

A Phase Control feature aligns the phase of each speaker in your system individually, correcting for phase distortion and group delay between speakers during multi-channel playback to ensure that what you hear is as true to the original source as possible.

Advanced Sound RetrieverAuto Level Control compensates for volume fluctuations between sources to deliver a full and dynamic sound, whilst the Advanced Sound Retriever upscales and enhances the sound quality of MP3, WMA, AAC and other compressed music formats from portable music players, restoring musical dynamics and harmonics to closely match the original source.

Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System The VSX-LX52 includes Pioneer's unique 9-band Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System (MCACC), created in partnership with London's prestigious AIR Studios (founded by legendary Beatles producer George Martin) to precision-tune your system to the room environment, just like a professional recording engineer.

With THX Select2 Plus certification, you can expect the best possible sound reproduction using 7 channels, whether you're watching, listening or playing.

Flexible speaker placement is possible, too. The VSX-LX52 includes a 'Front Stage Surround Advance' feature. You no longer have to position the speakers in the traditional 5.1 surround setting around the room, just place them alongside your television, facing the front. Neat and elegant, without even the slightest loss of sound quality.

The VSX-LX52 gives you true precision for audio and video.
