The Elite® PE-SC-LX701 featuring 9.2-channel Class D3 amplifier is fully equipped for the latest multi-dimensional surround sound formats, such as DTS:X™ and Dolby Atmos®, featuring the Reflex Optimizer for Dolby-enabled speakers. With Ultra HD (4K/60p/4:4:4) upscaling/pass-through and HDR/BT.2020 standards ready, images are more impressive than ever. In addition to internet radio and various network streaming services, built-in Google Cast™ allows clients to use mobile devices to cast their favorite music to the receiver. Plus, the multi-zone feature supports powered Zone 2/Zone 3 output.
The Elite SC-LX701 integrates Dolby’s groundbreaking surround technology and is compatible with 7.2.4ch*, 9.2.2ch*, 7.2.2ch, 5.2.4ch, 3.1.2ch, and 2.1.2ch configurations for Dolby Atmos. It works by adding height to the sonic landscape, creating a true 3D, multi-dimensional space that puts you directly inside the experience. Optimized room calibration through the built-in MCACC Pro feature, in conjunction with Atmos-enabled speakers like the Elite Home Theater System or dedicated ceiling-mounted speakers, reproduces sound in smooth, curving, and realistic three-dimensional movement overhead by top-firing Atmos drivers. Dolby Atmos brings new life to traditional soundtracks and music, putting sounds into motion to deliver the full impact of the performance. *External amplifier required.
With Sonos Connect, the awesome home theater you’ve built around your Elite receiver can now be part of your existing Sonos Home Sound System, or the start of a new one. Instantly upgrade the music streaming capability of your home theater with Sonos Connect and a free firmware update. After a simple set up, your Elite A/V receiver will seamlessly tie into Sonos, instantly waking, changing inputs and playing at the volume you command through the familiar Sonos app.
Extreme power with extreme efficiency are hallmarks of the Elite SC-LX701, thanks to Class D3(Direct Energy HD) amplifiers that deliver power in a cool running, lightweight package—generating less heat and energy loss than traditional Class AB designs, while consuming a fraction of the power and with greater reliability. Pioneer’s Class D3 delivers full power across all nine channels simultaneously for a total of 810 watts (8 ohms, 1 kHz @ 1.0% THD). With a direct signal path and no EMI filters, feedback loops or current limiting, these amps can handle low-impedance speaker loads that challenge lesser receivers.
Upscale away. This receiver incorporates Ultra HD Upscaling and Pass-through in order to optimize 1080p content to 4K and to play any piece of true 4K content with ease. Delivering 4K @ 60p/4:4:4, and complemented by HDCP 2.2 and HDR capabilities, the SC-LX701 delivers impressive power and clarity to any home theater or multi-purpose system.
The Elite SC-LX701 delivers unmatched digital-to-analog signal conversion. Two SABRE32 Ultra DAC (ES9016S) units from ESS Technology—recognized as among the best in the industry—are critical to achieving purity of sound, wide dynamic range and minimal harmonic distortion that let the high-power Class D3 amps perform to their fullest.
MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) Pro takes room calibration to a new level of precision. Further enhancing the three-dimensional realism of the Elite’s Atmos-enabled system as well as all of your other audio sources, MCACC Pro calibrates your room’s sound using a microphone to monitor the acoustic environment and an equalizer to optimize and precision-tune each speaker to the room.
Experience immersive, interactive 3-D realism like never before. The next-generation surround sound format, available as a no-cost firmware update, creates an amazing three-dimensional sound field that reproduces the movement of sound in space. It automatically adapts the signal to existing channels and speakers and requires no specific speaker layout. Plus, Zone 2 provides digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) for optical, coax, and HDMI (PCM) inputs.
This receiver offers a limitless flow of streaming music, sports, talk, and news entertainment from internet radio stations and online music services, including Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, TIDAL, and Deezer. Please note: Pandora service is only available in the U.S.
