Three-Block Internal Layout
The blocks for power supply, drive/digital processing, and analog audio are
separated into three to eliminate electrical and magnetic interference
between the blocks.
Ultra-Rigid Construction without Radiation Holes
Even the holes for heat radiation are excluded to realize a flat form with
optimal electric circuit design, and minimum mechanical noise from the
rotating system. The result is significantly low noise and even more rigid
and stable chassis structure.
Double-Layered Chassis with Rigid Under Base for
Rigidity and Low Center 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
center-of-gravity and overall rigidity that prevents the transfer of external
vibration to the inner chassis, and offers a superior reading of the disc.
Ultra HD Blu-ray Playback
Ultra HD Blu-ray is the latest disc format with up to 3,840 x 2,160 pixels,
four times the resolution of 1080p Full HD. In addition to Ultra HD Blu-ray,
the UDP-LX500 is compatible with regular Blu-ray™, DVD, SACD, and
audio CD, so you can enjoy the highest video resolution, as well as your
digital disc collection on a single disc player.
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 optimizes the digital signal wiring and minimises GND
impedance, and dramatically improves S/N ratio in audio/video signal
processing. The 18 Gbps transmission through the latest HDMI standard
becomes even more precise.
SDR/HDR Preset Mode for Optimal Performance for the Display
In addition to the video parameter “Reference” for reproducing the original
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 .
PQLS Jitter-less Sound Transmission
With the precision quartz controller on a compatible AV receiver, Pioneer’s
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) eliminates distortion caused by
timing errors. It controls the amount of audio signals from the AV receiver
to the UDP-LX500, giving the best possible digital-to-analog conversion.
UDP-LX500 supports PQLS 2ch Audio, Multi-Surround, and Bit-stream.
Zero Signal Terminal
The Zero Signal Terminal is a Pioneer-original feature dedicated to tuning
audio and video quality without signal transmission. By connecting the Zero
Signal Terminal with the audio/video input terminal of an AV receiver etc., the
reference level (GND) of the audio/video signals is aligned between the two
devices, and the potential difference is suppressed, allowing a precise and
high-quality signal transmission.
