Blessed with gorgeous styling and a heavyweight, reassuring construction, Pioneer’s BDP-LX88 looks every inch the premium disc player – and its performance and feature set only add to its appeal. A truly universal design, the BDP-LX88 can spin CD, DVD, Blu-ray, DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD and backs up this multi-functionality with hi-res audio support including FLAC, ALAC and DSD, via a network or from USB. Movie playback benefits from pristine detail delivery courtesy of Pioneer’s Precise Pixel Driver processing and a wealth of powerful user adjustments. Music performance, meanwhile, is audiophile-grade, either from the player’s analogue outputs (including stereo XLR) or over HDMI. Overall, this flagship spinner is a remarkable achievement fit for any home theatre.

The Pioneer BDP-LX88 is an advanced Blu-ray player with 3D compatibility and 4K upscaling which delivers incredible picture and audio performance and great functionality. 

The BDPLX88 boasts twin HDMI outputs- the second one carries audio only, ideal if your A/V Receiver isn't 3D or 4K ready or if you want to split the audio/video signal- simply connect the audio HDMI to the AVR, and the other directly into your flatscreen. 

Upscaling of DVDs to 1080p means movies are crisp, detailed and sharp. Your collection will look better than ever. With a 4K screen, you can watch your favourite films in 4K ultra-high resolution video. The Blu-ray player's 4K upscaling capabilities - up to 60p - make it possible to enjoy all video content in 4K quality. 

iPhone/iPod Touch and Android device owners with a wireless home network can also take advantage of a freely downloadable app that will let you control the BDPLX88 using the interface on your device. 

The BDPLX88 handles all the latest HD audio formats and has coaxial and optical digital outputs, making it suitable for use with older AV amps and receivers. The universal disc player supports SACD and MP3 discs and more, while you can also playback FLAC and other digital formats over your network, from a DLNA compatible PC, laptop or smartphone. Playback of compressed formats such as MP3 really benefit from the Advanced Sound Retriever which enhances and restores the music closer to original quality. 

Internet connection lets you watch YouTube videos and view Picassa albums, and gives you access to BD-Live (Blu-ray BD Profile 2.0) content which can be downloaded to a connected USB memory device. 

The BDPLX88 is built with high quality audio products so it has amazing sound performance to match the picture quality. With the brushed aluminium fascia and robust design, it looks and feels the part as well. 

For an excellent 3D and 4K ready Blu-ray player which delivers stunning pictures and sound, look no further than the Pioneer BDP-LX88.
