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

- High quality playback of your existing DVD and CD library

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.
BD-Live™ (Profile 2.0)
To take full advantage of the extra features becoming available on Blu-ray Discs, both Blu-ray players feature BD-Live™, enabling movie enthusiasts to connect to the Internet (via Ethernet port) and download data such as subtitles, images and bonus trailers, synchronise viewing with other BD-Live players and join in live chat sessions, online gaming and video messaging when viewing BD-Live™ compatible titles.
To deliver on the promise of BD-Live right out of the box, the BDP-LX52 features 1GB internal memory, also expandable courtesy of a USB port for use with compatible flash drives and hard disc drives.
On-board HD audio decoding
The BDP-LX52 supports all advanced audio formats, with the ability to decode Dolby® TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, DTS® HD High Resolution and DTS HD Master Audio high resolution audio formats. By offering on-board decoding of the latest HD audio formats, consumers can connect this Blu-ray player to an existing high quality AV receiver, such as the VSX-519V, and enjoy the benefits of HD home entertainment, without having to upgrade to a HD AV receiver. Pioneer’s latest Blu-ray offering will also provide bitstream audio over the HDMI jack for all of the above formats.
Precision Quartz Locking System
Pioneer’s Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS) offers jitterless transmission of uncompressed LPCM audio over HDMI to compatible Pioneer AV receivers. The BDP-LX52 is able to utilise the PQLS technology for jitterless sound processing for 2-channel LPCM sound sources such as an audio CD, as well as being the world’s first multi-channel PQLS, operating between the Blu-ray Disc player and a multi-channel PQLS-equipped Pioneer receiver by synchronising both components’ digital clocks for optimal audio playback.
Pioneer Home Theatre Synergy
Working in tandem with Pioneer’s KURO displays technology and range of HD A/V receivers, the BDP-LX52 completes the home entertainment experience, allowing consumers to immerse themselves in stunning HD content. Home theatre synergy on the both Blu-ray players is best demonstrated through KURO Link, which synchronizes the Blu-ray Disc player with Pioneer’s KURO plasma displays with other Pioneer HDMI-control enabled home theatre products such as Pioneer A/V amplifier.
The KURO Link allows users to operate their basic operations including Playback or Power ON/OFF on all products with a single remote control. Anyone can easily perform these operations by pressing the HDMI Control button on the remote control and following the menu displayed on the screen.
About the brand
Pioneer engineers don't just make a TV. They brainstorm, they argue, they collaborate, and they break down every roadblock until they have engineered a high-definition plasma panel that they, themselves, would actually be proud to own. And then they go back to the drawing board, and make it better. Why is all of this important to you? Because when you bring a Pioneer product into your home–whether it's a high-definition plasma, DVD player, A/V receiver, or speakers–you can be sure that the people who made it care as much about a great entertainment experience as you do. Maybe even more. Our commitment to quality is evident throughout our manufacturing process. We have five production lines in three cities worldwide, and hold numerous patents. Our commitment to innovation shows in the substantial R&D engineering resources we have dedicated to being the world leader in new plasma display technology.
