Adaptive Bit Length Expansion Circuit
This circuit expands 8-bit brightness and colour signals from
Blu-ray Discs and DVDs up to 16 bits, so images are reproduced
with greater accuracy and more natural colours.

Deep Colour and x.v.Colour via HDMI
The Pioneer Blu-ray Disc Players support high-bit Deep Colour,
offering images with superb colour detail. The BDP-LX91
features 48-bit (except 1080p/50 and 1080p/60 output) colour
depth, the first player to offer this ultra high performance
capability, while the BDP-LX71 features 36-bit colour depth.
The BDP-LX91 also provides x.v.Colour, an advanced feature
that greatly broadens the colour space input to include 1.8
times as many natural colours as the standard RGB signals.
297MHz/14-bit Video D/A Converter
The BDP-LX91 features a 297MHz/14-bit video DAC with high quality
oversampling for noise-free pictures. The finest video signals can be
faithfully reproduced, offering superb image display.
* 216MHz/14-bit for SD output
Motion Adaptive IP Conversion
Pioneer's Blu-ray Disc players can convert 1080/60i
high-definition sources for 1080/60p display. "Motion
Adaptive" means that IP Conversion processing is done while
analysing the condition of the moving image, ensuring highest
quality with reduced picture noise.

Triple High-Definition NR
(BDP-LX91)
Both of these Blu-ray Disc players incorporate three
high-definition noise reduction circuits. Component Frame NR
lowers Gaussian noise without blurring the picture. Block NR
minimises block noise (mosaic-like artifacts). And Mosquito NR
reduces the fluttery noise around the edges of objects.

Precision Quartz Lock System
This is the world's first jitter-free CD audio transmission
system. Connect your Blu-ray Disc player to the LX amplifier or
one of the receivers and the system will transfer the CD music
data via the HDMI cable with virtually no jitter for the best
