Technical Details for Pioneer VSX LX50

Pioneer VSX LX50 ... certification, you can expect the best possible sound reproduction using 7 channels, whether you're watching, listening or playing.

The LX50 gives you Standing Wave and Phase Control, ensuring that the sound output is pure, precise and as perfect as possible. Standing Wave Control reduces the standing audio waves in your room, giving reproduction of low frequencies, truer than ever. Phase Control minimizes any phase mismatching, calibrating the delay and aligning the phase precisely, to match it for all channels and achieve advanced levels of sonic purity.

The LX50 includes the unique 9-band Advanced MCACC system, which stands for Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration.

At the touch of a button, the MCACC will not only calibrate and optimize the sound output for your home environment, but also neutralize the effects of reverberation. Precision tuning of your home entertainment system is possible with minimum effort.

The LX50 is fully ready for iPod, audio, photo and video. All that you need to do is connect and play.

You can also connect a USB memory stick to the front of the amplifier and listen to compressed audio files; the system will automatically enhance and virtually restore rich sound (this is because of the unique Sound Retriever technology).

The LX50 includes a 'Front Stage Surround Advance' feature. What this means is that you have the option to place your speakers in the traditional 5.1 surround setting around your living room, or alternatively place them alongside your television.

This is ideal if you have limited space, or don't necessarily want an "invasion" of electronics equipment around the room.

Included with the LX50 is a preset and learning LCD remote control, which can be programmed to control other remote devices in your home. This means you can have one remote control for most of the devices in your living room.
