Pioneer LX03BD 5.1-channel Blu-ray System specifications

For a Blu-ray based system costing over £1,500 on some websites, the LX03BD's feature list is nowhere near as cutting-edge as it should be. The LX08's Profile 1.1 spec and the lack of Dolby TrueHD/DTS HD Master Audio decoding are disappointing (despite the receiver's PCM handling capabilities) plus a couple more HDMI inputs wouldn't have gone amiss - all of which doesn't make the system feel like particularly good value. But feed it a Blu-ray disc and you begin to see where your money's going, as its picture and sound quality are out of this world. It's also one of the best-looking Blu-ray systems you're likely to see, with a gorgeous and distinctive design that will enhance any room it's installed in - especially if you pair it with one of Pioneer's Kuro plasmas.
