Pioneer BDP LX52

[gsyx123]

Has anyone heard a definate release date for this blueray player? I want to see if it is worth the extra money over the BDP320

Thanx

We've just received our review sample. It'll be in the October issue (o/s August 19th) and perhaps on the website before then (depends on the final outcome of my lunchtime arm-wrestling contests with Mr Web Editor Clough).

LX52's are available now - 320's have been available for a short while now

 

[Clare Newsome]

And the '320 review is in our next issue, as part of a sub-£400 Blu-ray players Supertest - with subscribers from Friday week (24th), in shops by 29th

Thanks David.

Have you any thoughts on the differences between the two? Is it worth the extra money?

 

[Frank Harvey]

Literally just booked them in! Probably won't get a chance to compare today though, a little busy

Hi All,

Just seen the lx52 advertised on futurehome. The specs look virtually identical to the 320. What is ' dts hd master audio essential' when compared to the normal dts hd master audio?

Any comments anyone???

This, apparently:

DTS-HD Master Audio Essential provides the same quality high-end sound offered by DTS-HD Master Audio, and is a full Master Audio feature set for Blu-ray Disc, with the exception of DTS ES Matrix and NEO 6.

Although DTS-HD Master Audio Essential does not currently support DTS | 96 /24, DTS ES, ES Matrix, and DTS NEO 6, for standard DVD discs, it offers DTS backwards compatibility, allowing you to enjoy DVDs in high quality DTS Digital Surround.

According to Pioneer's specs for the LX52.
