Pioneer SC-LX76 Pro Reviews

Pioneer's SC-LX76 displays the same minimalist elegance as their flagship model, with a black brushed metal facia that is pleasingly free of any unwanted clutter. The build quality is excellent, the entire chassis has a beautifully machined look and the controls have a well-engineered feel. The SC-LX76 uses the standard AV receiver layout, with two dials either side of an informative display and a drop down flap below. The display is well designed but some of the characters are quite small making it hard to read from a distance, although there is also an OSD. Behind the drop down flap are a number of useful controls, along with a USB port for an iDevice and an additional HDMI input with MHL compatibility. At the rear there is a very comprehensive set of connections including another seven HDMI inputs and three HDMI outputs. The remote is well made and comfortable to hold but the small size of the buttons makes it hard to use in a dark, despite the inclusion of a backlight.
