Pioneer Blu Ray Player Review
The Pioneer BDP LX08 is not only sleeker and more stylish then the company’s previous offerings but will also fit in perfectly with any Pioneer home cinema receiver, allowing you to make your own tailored Blu ray system. The player has an aluminium top and black acrylic front to create a modern and low key looking machine that would not look out of place in any home.
However, the Pioneer BDP-LX08 is not just a pretty face; it also offers you unrivalled image quality. With 1080p resolution and 24 frames per second speed coupled with the high tech HDMI Deep Colour, this player will give you the dream viewing experience. The images will be clear and crisp with exquisite detail and the colour bold but natural looking.
The Pioneer LX08 also has excellent audio capabilities, with 4 Wolfson WM8740 DACs. It is also able to decode and output TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus along with DTS-HD Master Audio although this is Bitstream output only.
The Pioneer LX08 Blu-ray player will also play your CD collection to an extremely high audio standard via HDMI and the Precision Quartz Lock System. This will give you a well developed, natural tone to the sound quality via the ability of the player to time accurately.
The BDP LX08 is compatible with a number of disc formats, including CD/ CD-DA / DVD / DVD-R / DVD-R DL / DVD-RW / BD / BD-R / BD-RE / BD-ROM and DivX. There are also a number of technical adjustments available so that you can get the picture and quality just as you want it. These include Chroma level and delay and black/white levels. The Pioneer BDP LX08 has also been made especially to match the LX receivers and KURO TVs. If you are looking for a top of the range Blu ray player then this should definitely be top of your list.
Pioneer BDP-LX08 Blu-ray Player
While most manufacturers are busy driving down the price of their Blu-ray players, Pioneer is persisting with its policy of delivering the best performance no matter the cost. This gung-ho attitude is in evidence once again with its latest balls-to-the-wall hi-def disc spinner, which may cost about three times as much as the cheapest budget deck but for that price you're getting a piece of pure home cinema heaven.
The BDP-LX08's pedigree is clear the moment you lift it from the box. Its build quality is absolutely faultless, sporting an outer casing that seems to have been fashioned from the same stuff they used to make the Batsuit, while the double-layered chassis and rock-solid disc mechanism will be music to the ears of any videophile worried about vibration and jitter.
But if you're into svelte, lightweight kit, forget it - this bad boy tips the scales at just over 6kg and its mega-chunky dimensions make it look like two players stacked on top of each other.
Aesthetically, it's got Pioneer's fingerprints all over it, and thanks to its glossy black fascia it'll soon be covered in yours too. But it's a small price to pay for such a seriously good-looking machine, which boasts loads of classy touches such as a silver trimmed play button, an alluring blue light and a row of touch-sensitive buttons that cause a white light to flash momentarily. The display panel is also a cut above the usual budget fare, showing title, chapter and time information in big, bold digits and even telling you the current output frequency.
Unlike its predecessor, the BDP-LX70, the LX71's HDMI output is version 1.3, which brings with it goodies like 12-bit Deep Colour support, auto lip sync and HD audio bitstream output, plus KURO Link control from a Pioneer TV remote. Joining this all-digital connection is component video out, as well as the increasingly out of place S-video and composite sockets. On the audio side, there's an isolated set of two-channel analogue outputs intended for CD playback, plus optical and coaxial digital.
Pioneer BDP-LX08 Blu-ray Player
You'll also find a set of 7.1-channel analogue outputs on the rear, which enable you to enjoy Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital Plus soundtracks in high-resolution on legacy amps without HDMI inputs. However you won't be able to enjoy decoded DTS HD Master Audio or DTS HD tracks from these analogue outputs - instead it extracts the regular DTS core. Although this isn't the end of the world, it is disappointing for a player at this price and means that you'll need a receiver with HDMI input to enjoy both hi-res DTS formats.
But in its defence, this omission is not borne of nefarious intent - quite the opposite in fact. When designing the LX08, Pioneer changed the chipset found in the BDP-LX71 to an improved version that offers better picture performance and a greater range of image adjustments but lacks DTS HD MA from the analogue outputs. Pioneer felt the picture benefits were far more important, and rather than delay its launch by a few months to rectify the audio situation, it launched the player with the intention of releasing a firmware update later on, which is currently scheduled for February.
But in the meantime, those with suitably equipped receivers can pipe DTS HD Master Audio, Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS HD in bitstream form to a receiver with the relevant decoding, plus it can decode these formats into high-resolution PCM and output them from the HDMI port.
Far more disappointing than its audio shortcomings is the player's Profile 1.1 specification, which enables you to access BonusView content but not web-based BD Live goodies - a fact confirmed by the lack of an Ethernet port on the rear panel. With loads of BD Live discs now on sale, it's amazing that a normally progressive company like Pioneer would release a premium player that can't take full advantage of them, when there are players costing half as much that can.
