LX Series AV Receiver with ICEpower, DLNA, Internet Radio and THX Select2 Certification

 

High fidelity, high reality.

AIR Studios tunedThe design philosophy of our LX receivers is to bring studio-quality sound to your living room. Each high-end component is rigorously calibrated and tuned for you to experience film and music just as the creators intended.

Incorporating the combination of ICEpower analogue class D amplification and our legacy sound-tuning in collaboration with AIR Studios, the SC-LX72 realises true simultaneous multi-channel high power output. The additional THX Select2 Plus certification makes it the perfect home cinema receiver.

MCACC AdvancedThis receiver includes our exclusive Advanced MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) system. At the touch of a button, it will measure and analyse the reverb characteristics of your speakers and optimally tune the sound output to your setup.

When connected to a BDP-LX52 Blu-ray player via HDMI, the player and receiver use a unique PQLS Multi-Surround technology for a jitterless transmission, ensuring optimum audio quality.

Full Band Phase Control eliminates bass phasing problems to improve multi-channel sound fields and corrects phase irregularities.

Five HDMI inputs let you connect your high-definition AV sources and switch between them easily.

DLNA CertifiedThe SC-LX72 has a LAN interface and is DLNA certified, which allows you to enjoy internet radio and access content from your home media network.

Plug and play your iPod or iPhone directly (a cable is included; no dock is necessary). The audio connection is digital, which guarantees transfer without intermediate digital-to-analogue, analogue-to-digital conversions; what you hear is pure.

The receiver has an intuitive and fresh-looking GUI (Graphical User Interface), giving you quick and easy access to the functions you need.
