The Reference in Blu-ray Disc Players.

The BDP-LX91 offers you pure moving pictures and living sound precisely as the director intended. This BD player guarantees impeccable quality, not just for Blu-ray Discs, but also for CD and DVD content. Moreover it features BD-Live, which means you can upgrade your player via the BD-Live connection.

Constructed out of solid aluminium, with dedicated audio and video boards and gold-plated terminals, the BDP-LX91 is the cinephile’s Blu-ray disc player.

To take full advantage of the extra features available on future Blu-ray Discs, the BDP-LX91 features BD-Live*, which will further enhance and personalise your entertainment experience. The player is equipped with an Ethernet port that allows you to connect to the Internet to download data such as subtitles, images and bonus trailers, join in live chat sessions, online gaming and video messaging when viewing BD-Live compatible titles.

The films you watch now become more real than ever. The BDP-LX91 supports not only 48-bit HDMI Deep Colour, for an unprecedented range of colour tones and exceptionally smooth transitions, but also x.v.Colour. The result is that you see greens, reds and blues far deeper than previously possible.

The soundtrack is true to the original, too. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio bring studio-class sound to your home. Professional-grade Wolfson Digital Audio Converters guarantee additional exceptional audio performance.

With a compatible Pioneer AV Receiver, the BDP-LX91 can also deliver truly outstanding and precise music CD playback via HDMI, using the specially developed Precision Quartz Lock System (PQLS).

The BDP-LX91 features an optimised Graphical User Interface (GUI) for exceptionally straightforward operation, and supports the connectivity feature KURO LINK, so the remote of your KURO flat screen TV is all you need to control the main functions of the Blu-ray Disc player.

• This player is BD-Live Ready and will require a firmware update to support all features of BD-Live. Once the firmware becomes available, we’ll publish it online. You will be able to find it under the ‘Support & Media’ tab of this product page.
