The Pioneer SCLX57 is a 9.2 channel home cinema receiver which delivers incredible sound quality, 4K, 3D and 1080p pass through, internet radio, wireless networking and other great features such as Apple Airplay and DLNA playback. Designed for people who want the best performance from all their sources, in one place.
The SCLX57 AV amplifier delivers 9 x 170 watts (into 6 Ohms) of audiophile-level Class D amplification and the shortest possible signal paths, ensuring a clean, pure sound and an ability to handle the most demanding soundtracks with ease. 9 HDMI v1.4 inputs (8 rear, 1 front) and 3 outputs (with pass-through of 3D or 4K content), decoding of HD audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, support for full HD 1080p images and upconversion and upscaling of analogue inputs - the 'LX57 is perfect for Blu-ray and will ge the very best out of all your other equipment too. The SCLX57 also features support for Dolby Pro Logic IIz processing that can give 'height' to the soundstage by driving two speakers positioned above your screen (as well as the normal fronts and centre). This creates extra space and a more realistic sound field, meaning you feel even more involved in the film.
The SCLX57 receiver boasts a handy front panel USB socket which you plug an iPod/iPhone/iPad into and enjoy direct digital (using the receiver's superior DAC) transfer of your tracks. Alternatively, you can connect compatible USB memory sticks or flash drives and play MP3, WMA (Windows Media), FLAC or WAV files.
iPhone/iPod Touch and Android device owners with a wireless home network can also take advantage of a freely downloadable iControlAV2013 app that will let you control the Pioneer SC-LX57 using an intuitive touch interface. Another Android feature is MHL - use a single cable to connect your smartphone to the receiver and play high quality video and audio over HDMI on your TV or projector.
As well as an FM/AM tuner with 63 presets the 'LX-57 will, if you have a home broadband Internet connection, also let you enjoy thousands of Internet radio stations, with access to the vTuner service. With the ASWL300 wireless network adaptor you can connect to your network without needing any cables (wifi router required), while the optional ASBT200 adaptor allows you to stream music over Bluetooth from Bluetooth compatible devices (see accessories tab above).
Other features include Stream Smoother to reduce noise and enhance picture quality for online content such as YouTube; Auto Phase Control to eliminate the gap between low frequencies and other signals to deliver a stonger bass and clearer high frequencies; and PQLS which reduces jitter over HDMI connection.
Whatever you listen to, speaker setup and calibration is easy thanks to the MCACC auto-microphone calibration system. Plus there's multi-room capability via the 2nd and 3rd zone audio output or amplified 2nd stereo speaker terminals, and an advanced sound retriever which improves the quality of compressed audio.
The SC-LX57 is a great, future-proof all-rounder that delivers the great sound quality, clarity and detail that Pioneer amplifiers are famous for.
