Originally designed to match KURO TVs with its black glossy finish, the Pioneer LX01 is a 250GB hard disk drive DVD recorder with integrated digital DVB-T tuner, HDMI with 1080p scaling and a 400W digital power amplifier.

The LX01 has 2 combined front/center speakers and 2 rear speakers that features the omni-directional speaker design which consists of a distinctive 3-dimensional shape, "The effect is very similar to musical instruments being played in a live performance." says Pioneer. And for the subwoofer, it loads a couple of drivers which enable more powerful handling of lower frequencies. The receiver doubles as a DVD recorder with a 250GB HDD with record, rip and store functionalities. The system is compatible with almost all the latest HD audio formats and includes HDMI connectivity but unfortunately it doesn't play Blu-ray or HD-DVD discs, priced at 2990€ it's a shame.
