Is the pioneer vsx-lx50 a piano black TV?

In keeping with Pioneer’s Kuro range of plasma TVs, the brand’s new LX50 receiver is dressed in the obligatory piano-black. And yes, the finish looks fantastic, at least until you deposit fingermarks on it.

What does auto calibration on pioneer vsx-lx50 do?

Setting up the LX50 takes advantage of onscreen menus and Auto-MCACC auto-calibration, now in its ‘advanced’ 9-band incarnation. The latter uses a plug-in mic to analyse your room acoustics and the output it presents to your speakers takes into account MCACC’s findings.

What kind of HDMI cable does pioneer LX50 use?

Your choice of entry will be determined by your HD disc player. The LX50’s video connectivity is also worthy of discussion. Incoming analogue video signals are converted into digital form, so that everything can be passed to your TV via a single HDMI cable.

Which is better WMA or MP3 on pioneer LX50?

USB audio (WMA and MP3) fares slightly better than iPod in terms of delivery, presumably because this takes advantage of the LX50’s own DACs. The video switching and conversion is also good, with 1080i HDTV signals from a Sky HD box losing little of their lustre compared to a direct HDMI connection.
