VSX-LX60




High definition, high quality audio experience
The LX60 completes your high definition home network. With built-in Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding, you are guaranteed pure, “lossless” quality audio.

The LX60 has been fine-tuned to AIR Studios standards: a hallmark for flawless reproduction of sound It is also THX Select2-certified, meaning that you can expect the best possible sound reproduction using 7 channels, whether you’re watching, listening or playing.

The LX60 is fully ready for iPod; audio, photo and video. All that you need to do is connect and play.

You can also connect a USB memory stick to the front of the amplifier and listen to compressed audio files; the system will automatically enhance and virtually restore rich sound (this is because of our unique Sound Retriever technology).

Optimised audio, suited to your home
The LX60 includes our unique 9-band Advanced MCACC system, which stands for Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration. At the touch of a button, the MCACC will not only calibrate and optimise the sound output for your home environment, but also neutralise the effects of reverberation. Precision tuning of your home entertainment system with minimum effort.

The LX60 gives you Standing Wave and Full Band Phase Control. Standing Wave Control reduces the standing audio waves in your room, giving reproduction of low frequencies, truer than ever. Phase Control minimises any phase mismatching, calibrating the delay and aligning the phase precisely, to match it for all channels and achieve advanced levels of sonic purity.

Flexible speaker placement
The LX60 includes a ‘Front Stage Surround Advance’ feature. What this means is that you have the option to place all of your speakers in the traditional 5.1 surround setting around your living room, or with just two speakers alongside your television, output a simulated surround sound environment. This is ideal if you have limited space, or don’t necessarily want an “invasion” of electronics equipment around the room.

One remote control for them all
Included with the LX60 is a learning LCD remote control, which can be programmed to control other remote devices in your home. This means you can have one remote control for most of the devices in your living room.

The system also benefits from HDMI-Control, which means that you can operate its main functions using the remote of your KURO flat-screen TV, for example: a simple, coherent entertainment solution.
