Pioneer BDP-LX52 Blu-ray DVD Player  

Pioneer BDP-LX52 Blu-ray DVD Player

Description


Pioneer BDP-LX52: The BDP-LX52 epitomises everything you would want and expect from a high quality Blu-ray player:

- Full high-definition picture and sound quality whenever you watch a Blu-ray movie
- Access to extra features on a movie, such as images, bonus trailers and games
- High quality playback of your existing DVD and CD library

Equipped with BD-Live, on-board HD audio decoding, triple HD noise reduction, a unique video engine, jitter-free audio transmission and RS232, the BDP-LX52 is more than qualified to enable you to make the step-up from DVD to Blu-ray.

See the difference with Pioneer Blu-ray 1080p/24fps
One of the most compelling reasons to upgrade from DVD to Blu-ray is the vast improvement in picture quality Blu-ray has to offer. Thanks to Blu-ray technology, we can now watch a movie and see/hear the action exactly as the film director intended.

In general, Hollywood blockbuster movies are filmed with 1080p high definition camera, which captures scenes in 24 frames per second. Each frame is critical to the overall excellent picture quality you experience when you go to a cinema. This exact cinema-like picture quality can now be replicated in your own living room courtesy of the Pioneer BDP-LX52, which will playback a Blu-ray Hollywood blockbuster movie in high definition / 24 frames per second, so you can see exactly what the director saw when he was looking through his camera, capturing the scene.

Conventional DVD players are incapable of playing back a movie as it was originally captured - in 1080p high definition and 24 frames per second. Instead, a DVD player is forced to manipulate the image, resulting in an inferior movie picture on your HD TV. 

Superb picture quality
By improving subtle colour gradations, 48-bit Deep Colour support for the BDP-LX52, the result is lively colours and smooth transitions between different gradation steps on 48-bit/36-bit capable displays.

In addition, the BDP-LX52 features a Video Adjust mode that allows users to tweak 13 video adjustments to create a finely tuned image. Among those 13, the Triple HD Noise Reduction offers three modification options to upgrade the image quality by removing various artefacts that may have been induced during the digitization of the video images.
