Pioneer SC-LX501 review

The SC-LX501 replaces the only two-digit predecessor model LX59 from the company Pioneer and now on seven instead of the previous nine amplifiers, which gives him the 400 Euro cheaper tariff. Visually, almost everything was the same, the (admittedly antiquated) on-screen menu was reworked and is now extremely good! Installation and setup succeed in no time and without complications.


Conclusion


In addition, the power was screwed up. Do you hear that? Yes! Even though we have already been pampered by the TX-RZ810, the Pioneer still has one thing in common: ice storms are still gaining in drama and naturalness, the overall picture seems even more harmonious. This also applies to set-ups without elevation channels.


With 5x100 or 144 watts at 8 or 4 ohms, the Pioneer also has plenty of power under the case cover. Effective and what is the eye for the app is "iControlAV5". In addition to inputs and basics such as volume and co., The sound equalizer as well as the loudspeaker setup can be selected. Also on Spotify and in the future Deezer and Google Cast can be accessed.


The Pioneer is adequately equipped and drags (but only at three of six HDMI inputs) Ultra-HD signals with HDR-HDCP-2.2 compatibility. Compared to the Marantz, he loses points here, but for ordinary utility this is sufficient. And thanks to the integrated scaler you can also scale up to 4K images. The Pioneer, as well as the Onkyo, thanks to various "super-resolutions" very well.


The Pioneer plays airy-light and pushes at the next moment with action scenes. The home cinema evening is really fun! Thanks to 3D audio support, you can also hear from the top. And with one or the other update (as with the Onkyo), the SC-LX501 could soon become a multi-function hero.
