Universal Disc Player
UDP-LX800
This flagship universal disc player is the embodiment of Pioneer’s considerable expertise amassed over the years
through the development of successive optical disc players. Elaborately engineered for the ideal disc playback,
the UDP-LX800 features extremely rigid construction to achieve high S/N ratio for quality audio and video
performance. With support for the latest Ultra HD Blu-ray™ format, you can enjoy the beautiful spectacle with four
times the resolution of 1080p Full HD. Two ESS SABRE PRO Series DACs are used in parallel to provide audiophile
sound. Other features include SDR/HDR Preset Mode, Direct/Transport Function, and XLR balanced output
terminal.

REAR PANEL
Three-Part Chassis Structure
The blocks for power supply, drive/digital processing, and analogue
audio are separated into three to eliminate electrical and magnetic
interference between the blocks. The rigid beams placed between the
blocks further reinforce the structure, while the internal layout is
optimally designed to minimize vibration and signal loss.
Ultra-Rigid Construction with Ventless Steel Plate Top
Panel and Aluminium Side Panels
Even the holes for heat radiation are
excluded to realise a flat form with
optimal electric circuit design, to
minimise the mechanical motion
sound from the BD drive. The result is
significantly low noise and even more
rigid and stable chassis structure.
Rigid Under Base for Rigidity
and Low Centre of Gravity
The 1.6 mm-thick chassis base
is reinforced with a 3 mm-thick
steel plate Rigid Under Base. This
Double-Layered Chassis structure
provides a low centre-of-gravity and
overall rigidity that prevents the transfer of external vibration to the inner
chassis, and offers a superior reading of the disc.
Large-Capacity Power Transformer and Power Supply
Circuitry
The dedicated large-capacity power
transformer for the analogue audio circuitry
and the custom capacitor constitute
the superior power circuitry capable of
instantaneous power supply. The unnecessary
electromagnetic wave generated by the
transformer is confined within the copperplated shield case with anti-vibration paint.
The f-hole-shaped embossing also helps to
suppress standing-waves within the case,
thereby achieving sound quality with both
dynamic and silent features. The power
supply circuitry has a case with an F clef
emboss for suppressing standing waves, and
black anti-vibration paint, allowing stable and
high-quality power supply to the drive and
digital blocks.
Universal Disc Player with Ultra HD Blu-ray Playback
As a universal disc player, the UDP-LX800 can play various optical
discs including the latest disc format Ultra HD Blu-ray which has four
times the resolution of 1080p Full HD, as well as Hi-Res Audio and
other music files, and video files.
6-Layered Main Circuit Board for High S/N Ratio
A 6-layered IVH is used for the main circuit board to thoroughly
eliminate digital noise. This optimises the digital signal wiring and
minimises GND impedance, and dramatically improves S/N ratio in
audio/video signal processing. The maximum 18 Gbps transmission
through the latest HDMI standard becomes even more precise.
Audio Circuitry for Quality Sound
The technologies for Pioneer’s SACD player PD-70AE is incorporated
to further improve the analogue audio block. The paths for L and R
signals are made identical including the pattern and parts layout. The
L/R signal balance is strictly maintained, resulting in evermore precise
and superior separation during playback. The bus bar between L and
R signals also help to stabilize the ground.
SDR/HDR Preset Mode for Optimal Performance for the
Display
In addition to the video parameter “Reference” for reproducing the
master quality, you can select “LCD TV,” “OLED TV,” or “Projector”
for the video quality best suited to your display. Additionally, there are
SDR/HDR presets for each video parameter, that automatically switches
between SDR preset and HDR preset according to the output signal.
Disc Information On-Screen Display
You can display the disc information on your screen by pressing
and holding the remote control’s DISPLAY button. In addition to the
playing disc’s details, you can easily check mastering information
such as MaxFALL (Maximum Frame Average Light Level) and MaxCLL
(Maximum Content Light Level) available on some HDR content, as
well as HDMI output information.
Transport Function for Pure Digital Audio/Video Output
The function completely turns off the
analogue audio circuitry from power
supply to output, by cutting the power
supply to the transformer during HDMI
connection. The HDMI’s S/N ratio
further improves and realises highquality audio and video playback.
