Shaping the world of digital entertainment
Pioneer GB announces its new line-up of Blu-ray Disc players that excels in sight, sound and performance. When combined with an 'HD ready 1080p' KURO TV and the latest Pioneer A/V Receivers, these high-end Blu-ray players immerse the most demanding home cinema aficionado in a seeing and hearing experience like never before.

The superbly constructed and beautifully designed BDP-LX08 is a BonusView, profile 1.1, Blu-ray Disc player supporting next-generation high-resolution audio and featuring a redesigned chipset for overall performance. With its aluminium top plate and glossy black acrylic front, the BDP-LX08 focuses on design, matching nicely with Pioneer LX systems, but operating perfectly as a stand-alone player as well.

True-to-life picture quality
The BDP-LX08 Blu-ray Disc player ensures a cinematic experience with its ability to handle 1080p 24 frames per second (fps) reproduction rate, matching the sequence of the original film. Taking full advantage of HDMI connectivity and the most cutting-edge video processing available, it provides pure images to deliver the full emotional impact of Blu-ray Disc films as the director intended. HDMI 12-Bit Deep Colour support guarantees smooth transitions between different shades and delivers an unprecedented range of colour tones, recreating the natural world on the TV screen. A Video Adjust Mode, which includes predefined settings and allows detailed manual adjustment of most video parameters, enables users to customise their viewing experience. For the finest video performance a specially designed KURO TV video setting perfectly optimises the Blu-ray players' picture output to meet the acclaimed quality of a connected KURO TV.

Listening like never before
Creating a balanced surround sound featuring accurate expression and controlled dynamics, the BDP-LX08's sound performance heightens the emotional experience. Stunning colours and superior picture reproduction are complimented by the additional support of lossless digital audio formats DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD, bringing the highest quality sound performance of Blu-ray Disc film titles to the living room, giving audiophiles up to 7 channels of pure audio. In addition, professional-quality Wolfson Digital Audio Converters (DACs) ensure the highest level of analogue audio performance.

Pioneer Home Theatre Synergy
When paired with a KURO plasma TV and the new range of Pioneer A/V receivers the BDP-LX08 Blu-ray Disc player completes the home entertainment experience. 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-LX08 Blu-ray Disc player perfects CD playback with the Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS), transmitting music data coming from the Blu-ray Disc player to the receiver, providing the audience with the ultimate listening experience.

The BDP-LX08 Blu-ray Disc player features a specially developed intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) with the same look and feel as found on its KURO Plasma TVs and latest A/V receivers. The Blu-ray Disc players' built-in KURO LINK feature allows users to control the devices with the remote of their Pioneer KURO plasma TV.

Pioneer paid extra attention to the design synergy of the BDP-LX08 Blu-ray Disc player with its other equipment and especially to the horizontal product layout. Not only does it feature a clean symmetrical design with a central positioned tray and display, it perfectly matches in height when placed on top of a DVR-LX61(D) and next to the upcoming SC-LX81 or SC-LX71 AV receivers as well.

Don't miss out on the new standard in high-quality, digital entertainment.
