Speakers that Project a 3D Sound Field to Enhance Presence and Give a Feeling of Expansive Space
5.1-channel surround sound can enhance the feeling of presence if it can project sound not only in two planes but three
dimensionally. To achieve this, the HTP-LX70 uses polyhedron speakers based on dodecahedron technology, while the
HTZ-LX61 front and surround speakers have a unit facing upward on the top of the speaker. As a result, the sound spreads
out not only horizontally, but vertically as well, creating a three-dimensional sound
space throughout the room. As the sound expands, it can express not only a feeling of
motion from side to side, but a truly realistic perspective, offering greater enjoyment of
movies and music.
Advanced Design Features Enable the System
to Blend into Your Interior
The HTP-LX70 and HTZ-LX61 not only have a beautiful
appearance, they were developed with a view to ensuring that the
area around the TV is neat and attractive. By employing Pioneer's
Dual Centre Method, the centre speaker does not have to be
placed above or below the TV, so speaker location can be more
convenient. In addition, Front Stage Surround Advance lets you
enjoy surround sound with the rear speakers located in the
front. Thanks to these two advanced technologies, you can
a c h i e v e a n e a t l y p o s i t i o n e d
system that blends in nicely with
your interior.

Sound Retriever Plays Compressed Music
Files with CD-like Sound Quality
With the compressed sound formats used for PC or iPod® music
files, some of the sound data is cut during the compression
process. These music files benefit from the Sound Retriever
function that supplements for lost sounds, letting you enjoy
music with quality that rivals that of CD. The HTZ-LX61 is also
compatible with the Advanced Sound Retriever that plays high
quality sound with even greater depth.
Motion Sensor and Touch Sensors Enhance
Less Element Design
There is a motion sensor on the front panel of the receiver.
(HTP-LX70)
When you approach the receiver to operate it or insert a disc,
the sensor detects you and
automatically turns on the
display. When you move away
