Pioneer UDP-LX800-B universal player, black

THREE-PART CHASSIS STRUCTURE

The blocks for power supply, drive/digital processing, and analogue audio are separated into three to eliminate electrical and magnetic interference between the blocks. The rigid beams placed between the blocks further reinforce the structure, while the internal layout is optimally designed to minimize vibration and signal loss.

ULTRA-RIGID CONSTRUCTION WITH VENTLESS STEEL PLATE TOP PANEL AND ALUMINIUM SIDE PANELS

Even the holes for heat radiation are excluded to realise a flat form with optimal electric circuit design, to minimise the mechanical motion sound from the BD drive. The result is significantly low noise and even more rigid and stable chassis structure.

RIGID UNDER BASE FOR RIGIDITY AND LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY

The 1.6 mm-thick chassis base is reinforced with a 3 mm-thick steel plate Rigid Under Base. This Double- Layered Chassis structure provides a low centre-of-gravity and overall rigidity that prevents the transfer of external vibration to the inner chassis, and offers a superior reading of the disc.

LARGE-CAPACITY POWER TRANSFORMER AND POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITRY

The dedicated large-capacity power transformer for the analogue audio circuitry and the custom capacitor constitute the superior power circuitry capable of instantaneous power supply. The unnecessary electromagnetic wave generated by the transformer is confined within the copper- plated shield case with anti-vibration paint. The f-hole-shaped embossing also helps to suppress standing-waves within the case, thereby achieving sound quality with both dynamic and silent features. The power supply circuitry has a case with an F clef emboss for suppressing standing waves, and black anti-vibration paint, allowing stable and high-quality power supply to the drive and digital blocks.

UNIVERSAL DISC PLAYER WITH ULTRA HD BLU-RAY PLAYBACK

As a universal disc player, the UDP-LX800 can play various optical discs including the latest disc format Ultra HD Blu-ray which has four times the resolution of 1080p Full HD, as well as Hi-Res Audio and other music files, and video files.

6-LAYERED MAIN CIRCUIT BOARD FOR HIGH S/N RATIO

A 6-layered IVH is used for the main circuit board to thoroughly eliminate digital noise. This optimises the digital signal wiring and minimises GND impedance, and dramatically improves S/N ratio in audio/video signal processing. The maximum 18 Gbps transmission through the latest HDMI standard becomes even more precise.

AUDIO CIRCUITRY FOR QUALITY SOUND

The technologies for Pioneer’s SACD player PD-70AE is incorporated to further improve the analogue audio block. The paths for L and R signals are made identical including the pattern and parts layout. The L/R signal balance is strictly maintained, resulting in evermore precise and superior separation during playback. The bus bar between L and R signals also help to stabilize the ground.

SDR/HDR PRESET MODE FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE DISPLAY

In addition to the video parameter “Reference” for reproducing the master quality, you can select “LCD TV,” “OLED TV,” or “Projector” for the video quality best suited to your display. Additionally, there are SDR/HDR presets for each video parameter, that automatically switches between SDR preset and HDR preset according to the output signal.

DISC INFORMATION ON-SCREEN DISPLAY

You can display the disc information on your screen by pressing and holding the remote control’s DISPLAY button. In addition to the playing disc’s details, you can easily check mastering information such as MaxFALL (Maximum Frame Average Light Level) and MaxCLL (Maximum Content Light Level) available on some HDR content, as well as HDMI output information.
