Pioneer DVR-LX70D

Pioneer DVR-LX70D ... this is film, music or your digital photographs.

The multi-media functions of the DVR-LX70D goes far beyond simply playing back films, music and images.

Simply hook up a portable audio player and enjoy your music played back directly through the recorder. Naturally, you can also copy your favorite tracks quickly and easily to the hard disc for archiving purposes. And if you have music stored on your PC, you can connect it directly and use Windows Media Player to copy all of your MP3 or Windows Media Audio tracks to the recorder's hard disk.

The DVR-LX70D offers the Gracenote database, which automatically inserts the relevant track and artist names, too.

Your digital photo's saved on a memory stick or digital camera can also be viewed directly via the recorder, or copied at high speed onto the hard disk. You can print your pictures directly using a PictBridge-compatible printer. Of course, you can also connect a USB keyboard - offering an extremely convenient way of editing titles or navigating the menus if required.

It's a swift, simple way of integrating your PC into your living room.

TheDVR- LX70D offers HDMI output with Deep Color. This means that all color transitions and gradients are reproduced with the highest level of precision. Colors are displayed in 36-bit depth, so what you see is as natural and lifelike as possible.

The DVR-LX70D has an integrated DVB-T tuner, which gives you access to a wide range of local digital terrestrial television and radio stations. If you use pay TV, you can plug your smart card directly into the CI slot; the benefit is that you no longer require an additional decoder box.

And if you're watching TV, time becomes less of a challenge, too. You can pause live TV, or use Chase Play - which allows you to playback the program you're recording, while you're recording it.

And above all, the system is easy to use; one straightforward remote gives you quick and easy access to all the functions you need.
