Pioneer SCLX85 9.2Ch AV Receiver
The SC-LX85 has it all, including selected audiophile enhancements, and you can use the included RF Remote to control all functions, even without the Receiver being in your line-of-sight.
Besides a state-of-the-art class D amplifier that provides 9.2 surround sound in HD, a digital connection with your iPod®, iPhone® or iPad® without dock, you get easy-to-operate worldwide internet radio (vTuner) and network streaming via DLNA (Windows 7 compatible) or Apple Airplay® when you connect via LAN. LPCM, WAV, FLAC and other lossless formats are supported. Compatible (free) smartphone/tablet apps which include the advanced remote control app iControlAV2 and Air Jam, a Bluetooth-based social app are made available for a convenient control and playback option via your Receiver.
Intelligent speaker calibration
Surround speakers can hardly be ideally positioned. The included MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System) therefore analyses the existing sound field, just like a sound professional, and adjusts the sound timings to precision-tune the system to your room.
Direct digital connection with your iPod, iPhone or iPad
No need for a dock - you can connect your Apple® device directly to the Receiver. Thanks to the digital connection, you get the best possible audio quality (further enhanced by the Advanced Sound Retriever). Furthermore, you can view photos and videos, and stream apps like YouTube to your TV.
Stream with AirPlay
Apple's AirPlay lets you stream music from any compatible device connected to your home network. This means you can easily enjoy your iTunes music library through your AV Receiver. You can also view metadata such as song title, artist name and even album artwork on a connected display.
Stream with DLNA
DLNA is widely supported on PCs, laptops, smartphones and other devices. This Receiver being DLNA certified means you can easily stream audio from such a device using your home network.
Remote of the future
iControlAV2 is our 2nd-generation app that lets you control all important functions of your Receiver from your smartphone or tablet. Control playback, select an input, adjust listening modes and change sound balance and emphasis from one app.
Music listening made social
Air Jam is a Bluetooth-based app that lets a group of people connect with their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and add their songs to the Receiver’s playlist. Participants can see which song was, is or will be playing - a great way to share and discover tunes. This feature requires iOS 4.2 with iPhone 4/3GS/3G, iPad or iPod touch (2nd gen. or higher).
Less jitter, better audio
Transmission via HDMI can cause clock jitter, causing sound distortion during the D/A conversion. PQLS "speed synchronises" the digital audio data between the Receiver and your matching Pioneer Blu-ray player, reducing the jitter. The result is clear, rich and precise audio.
Image optimised for you
Advanced Video Adjust optimises the video signal according to your type of screen or projector. Based on MCACC calibration data, it also adjusts image quality to your distance from the screen.
Intuitive setup and operation
With the Receiver connected to your home network, AVNavigator software from the included CD makes installation a breeze. Wiring Navi guides you in making the connections with speakers and other devices, and updates the Receiver with the appropriate settings, while the interactive manual lets you intuitively explore every feature of the Receiver. AVNavigator is also available as a free app for iPad users.
