Setting the benchmark in high power AV receiver performance, the SC-LX82 AV receiver will master every conceivable application in today’s HD home entertainment environment.

Pushing the boundaries of AV receiver innovation, the SC-LX82 provides the full advantages of this amplification technology in addition to achieving THX Ultra2 Plus as well as AIR Studios certifications.

As with most of our new mid-range receivers, the SC-LX82 offers seamless digital audio connectivity to iPhone and iPod devices.

 

Audiophile entertainment 
Our new high-end models successfully recreate studio-quality sound as a result of the exclusive Direct Energy HD Amplifier built on ICEpower analogue Class D technology.

Our engineers worked in tandem with the renowned AIR Studios experts to develop a highly efficient Class D amplification design that offers dynamic amplification capabilities and a wide range of unique processing technologies.

The SC-LX82 utilises Burr-Brown analogue to digital converters (ADC) and renowned Wolfson digital to analogue converters (DAC) that work to maintain high resolution performance throughout the entire digital signal processing chain from input to output.

The SC-LX82 takes DAC performance further with a professional-grade Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit sampling rate converter (SRC) for ultra-wide dynamic range and advanced jitter reduction. Once integrated into the new generation entertainment systems, these AV receivers provide advanced processing for superior high resolution audio playback.

Our Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) works to upgrade sound playback quality in any room configuration. This system optimises a room’s acoustics by making subtle adjustments to a connected speaker system, optimises the sound field of the listening area and fine-tunes for exceptional sonic performance. Utilising Full Band Phase Control, the new receivers can eliminate group delay that is sometimes caused by the network inside of the speaker unit and ensure audio arrives at the listening position in sync.

 

Pure fidelity 
The SC-LX82 is engineered to deliver lossless HD audio with breathtaking fidelity in perfect harmony with our Blu-ray Disc players as well as with the most advanced plasma and LCD monitors on the market. For the ultimate cinema experience, they are equipped to handle 24 frames per second signals and allow Blu-ray Disc players to show films at 24 frames per second – precisely the cadence at which they were shot, mastered and stored on disc. And with Pure Cinema technology, they can even restore film frames for flicker-free progressive output.

When connected to a BDP-LX52 Blu-ray Disc player via HDMI, users can take advantage of a Multi-Channel Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS) that “speed synchronises” the digital audio data between the receiver and the player to deliver jitterless audio transmission of multi-channel uncompressed LPCM audio, resulting in strikingly clear sound.

Digital direct playback 
Enhancing the overall user experience, the SC-LX82 represents an all-digital entertainment solution for today’s media devices. A customised USB/composite video cable (delivered with the product) and a multi-format front panel USB port provide plug and play connectivity and control of iPhone and iPod devices - featuring digital audio. Users can navigate iPhone/iPod content with the receiver’s remote control as well as deliver it to 2nd and 3rd zones using the receivers’ multi-zone capability.

The SC-LX82 takes advantage of two unique digital audio enhancement technologies. Advanced Sound Retriever (ASR) breathes life into compressed 2-channel digital sound formats like MP3 as well as multi-channel Dolby Digital and DTS, while Auto Level Control (ALC) minimises volume differences between 2-channel as well as multi-channel tracks, or different sources, improving playback quality and volume consistency.

 

Optimum networking and user convenience
The SC-LX82 will enhance your home cinema experience with the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) compliant Home Media Gallery. Through the receiver, users can easily access and stream digital media files directly from a connected home PC or laptop computer with media server IP networking capability, or listen to Internet radio. Five HDMI inputs – including one on the front panel – allow connecting high-definition AV sources and switching between them smoothly. In addition to this, the SC-LX82 is also equipped with two HDMI outputs, which allows you to connect to a flat panel display and projector at the same time. 

With the Multi-Zone feature it’s become possible to play different entertainment programmes in separate rooms of the house simultaneously. To ensure easy operation, both models are equipped with KURO LINK technology and an attractive Graphical User Interface (GUI). KURO LINK gives access to the receiver’s main functions with the KURO flat screen TV remote control unit, while the intuitively designed GUI streamlines initial installation, calibration and content control.

 

Superior build quality 
To recreate the entertainment experience intended by the original artists, this receives features robust build quality. Taking a cue from the flagship ‘Susano’ SC-LX90 AV amplifier, the SC-LX82 utilises unique Separated Component and Direct Construction techniques, featuring improved isolation between the pre-amplifier and amplifier sections for precise, high powered reproduction of high resolution audio formats at efficient power consumption rates
