ARTISTS START WITH A WHITE CANVAS, TELEVISIONS START WITH BLACK. IT IS THEIR STARTING PLACE, THE VERY
FOUNDATION THAT MAKES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. THE PUREST COLORS. THE RICHEST HUES. THE MOST REALISTIC,
LIFELIKE, IMPECCABLE IMAGES. ACHIEVING THE BLACKEST BLACKS IMAGINABLE WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE
REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY IN OUR NEWEST PLASMA DISPLAYS. SO WE THOUGHT IT ONLY FITTING TO
CHRISTEN THEM WITH A NAME THAT SIMPLY MEANS “BLACK.” KURO™.
blacks so black they disappear
ULTIMATE VIDEO PERFORMANCE
From 480i to 1080p, the KURO eliminates
nearly every image processing error and
reduces unwanted digital video noise for
the best picture possible, no matter what
the source or format.
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE, ALL THE
TIME The KURO’s exclusive Optimum mode
automatically analyzes the type of content you’re
watching and the room lighting conditions to
seamlessly adjust various picture settings. The
outcome is nothing short of amazing.
A NEW DIMENSION OF COLOR
With deeper black levels comes the ability to
reproduce the full spectrum of colors from
red, green and blue cells in all their intensity.
Colors are more rich and vivid, while vast
improvements can be seen in nighttime or
dark shadow scenes.
speaker system, including fully integrated digital amplifi ers.
The KURO delivers crystal-clear, precise sound laced
with expressive power. This transcendent sound offers
a listening experience so different from other television
speakers; it enshrouds itself around your ears and pours
itself over your entire body. From the gentle breezes of
rustling leaves or the softest whispers to fanatic sports fans
roaring in the stands, the KURO faithfully reproduces every
level in between and all with pinpoint accuracy.
EXPERIENCE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
With true 1080p/24fps, the 1080p KURO models immerse you
in a breathtaking cinematic world. In the past, fi lm displayed
on television required stretching 24 frames-per-second fi lm to
match the 30 frame-per-second television display, sometimes
resulting in annoying motion judder and unnatural on-screen
images. The KURO has solved this problem by displaying fi lm
sources at fi lm speed, True 24fps, just as the director intended.
So you enjoy high-resolution images on the KURO with natural,
fl uid movement not possible in other displays. And with the
maximum resolution available today, 1920 x 1080p, the 1080p
KURO models deliver a pure high-resolution signal resulting in a
picture clarity that surpasses everything that came before them.
Every mood, light, and subtle nuance that the director intended
is all captured on-screen. The outcome is complete immersion
into a world so real so intense, you will never watch TV in the
same way again.
COMPLETELY REDESIGNED
Every contributing technology in the KURO has been redesigned and reinvented from the ground up. An entirely new panel, category redefi ning color fi lter and groundbreaking video processor move the KURO into uncharted new territory, raising perfection to an entirely new level.
KURO™ FLAT PANEL TELEVISIONS 98 KURO™ FLAT PANEL TELEVISIONS
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES IN ANY
ENVIRONMENT A new color fi lter
effectively reduces ambient light refl ections
for solid blacks, provides unrivaled contrast
and produces brilliantly colored images in
virtually any lighting condition.
FINER GRADATION AND MORE
DETAIL The KURO faithfully reproduces
every shade of color, from light to dark
with smooth, even gradation. Now even the
darkest scenes reveal hidden, subtle traces
of fi ne detail not seen in other displays.
TRANSCENDENT SOUND
Completely redesigned speakers, including
fully integrated digital amplifi ers provide crisp,
precise, clear sound. The result is nothing
short of spectacular and completes the
powerful entertainment experience of KURO.
KURO WILL CHANGE
THE WAY YOU WATCH
TELEVISION.
and stunning Blu-ray Disc® to standard-defi nition DVD,
the KURO was designed to display only the absolute highest
detail and clarity. With a revolutionary new video processor and
scaler, the KURO delivers a picture virtually free of noise,
blurring, distortion, or inconsistencies. Regardless of what you’re
watching, the KURO brings out the absolute best—noticeably
improving even standard-defi nition programs. So even if your
source is not high-defi nition, the KURO does everything possible to
make whatever you’re watching look pristine.
THINKING LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Beyond the stunning clarity and brilliance of the KURO
picture is an intuitive television with remarkable brainpower.
The KURO constantly measures room light and analyzes source
content, then does something truly amazing. It automatically
optimizes the picture by seamlessly adjusting picture settings
like color, contrast and brightness. The result is so pure, so
real, it’s nothing short of stunning. No matter what the viewing
environment or content, whether it’s movies, concerts, sports
or the latest news from around the world, the KURO displays
each picture at its very best and all as if you were right there. All
you see is the most realistic, detailed picture possible.
HEARING LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Knowing the journey is as much about sound as it is sight,
the KURO was outfi tted with a completely new redesigned
RESOLUTION DESIGNED TO
EXCEED PERFECTION
Black is everything. Black breathes life into color. Black
renders fi ne detail. Black creates dimension and space.
Black is the canvas onto which great images are born. With
KURO, Pioneer has taken the very concept of black and
completely reimagined it. A revolutionary new cell structure
combined with a drastic reduction in idle luminance allows
KURO black levels to surpass anything ever thought possible.
A deeper, more intense black provides stunning color
reproduction with an expanded color palette. Pictures come
to life and every facet of every scene is displayed exactly as
it was intended. The KURO produces near fl awless steps of
gradation rendering virtually every shade imaginable between
black and white. Images produced by the KURO become more
than just pictures and are transformed into an unmatched
experience. The KURO redefi nes television and is the pinnacle
of clarity and contrast. Prepare to be transported into an
entirely new world of powerful visuals the likes of which
you’ve never experienced before.
PERFORMANCE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
Display a jaw-dropping picture regardless of format or
environment. This was the challenge given to our engineers
when they were creating the category-defining KURO
television. From high-defi nition broadcasts, cable, satellite,
CREATING DEEPER BLACKS
The KURO’s unique design has reduced idle luminance by more than 80% over previous
models, resulting in unprecedented black levels and improved contrast.

BEYOND WHAT HAS EVER BEEN IMAGINED
Stretching the limits of seeing and hearing to breathtaking
new dimensions is the Elite SC-09TX A/V receiver. Building
on 70 years of audio heritage, our engineers set out to
develop the purest, most realistic viewing and listening
experience ever thought imaginable. The result is a
sophisticated best-in-class powerhouse that sets the
benchmark for multi-channel sound in 1080p home theaters
with pristine reproduction of the emerging high resolution
audio and high defi nition video formats. We have redefi ned
what is possible and achieved astounding audio fi delity.
HEREIN BEATS THE HEART OF A LION
Current analog amplifi ers can no longer handle the high
power performance required for a truly pristine HD listening
experience. The design of the SC-09TX expertly mixes the
best of digital and analog technology to achieve a level of
surround sound performance with an accuracy and detail
that creates an overwhelming experience unlike anything
that has come before. Combining ICEpower® class-D
analog amplifi cation, together with our proprietary sound
tuning and digital signal processing (DSP) technologies,
the SC-09TX delivers the full impact of new audio formats,
Dolby® TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS®-HD, ensuring
precise sonic reproduction that redefi nes the traditional
limitations of home theater audio.
EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH ALSO
MEANS NUANCED AND DELICATE
The realistic sound quality is also the result of a new
industrial-strength build with premium, hand-selected parts
that harnesses the receiver’s staggering drive capability of up
to 200 watts per channel of continuous multi-channel power
output. The result is a robust chassis rivaling the strengths
of the creative tools used by directors, producers and
engineers, truly realizing the audio and video design
prowess of the SC-09TX. The unique Separated Power Block
Design isolates the digital processing and amplifi cation
blocks, and prevents internal interference between each
block while improving the receiver’s overall operation. The
ultra-strong separation allows the true excitement of HD to
be felt by ensuring the dynamic, smooth playback required
for high resolution. Like our Elite receivers before it, the
SC-09TX delivers the subtle nuances of delicate sounds
with astonishing accuracy.
TUNING IN PERFECTION
With True One-Touch activation, and by using the built-in
Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC)
microphone, the SC-09TX immediately reaches out to
touch every corner of the room and begins to make best
use of the acoustics. The receiver, with the help of MCACC,
then makes subtle adjustments to the connected speakers,

RESPECTING YOUR ELDERS
Advanced as they may be, Elite receivers
are able to get along with all your existing
components. Input video signals are received
and processed through the Digital Video
Converter, and can be output via HDMI.
BASS THAT FEELS RIGHT Because of
the way less advanced receivers process low
frequencies, bass signals often arrive late, after
the treble and mid-range. Our Phase Control
technology compensates for this phase lag,
signifi cantly improving multi-channel sound.
THX Not a format but a standard of performance,
THX Select2 means you can get the enveloping
experience normally found only in THX certifi ed
movie theaters. That’s the philosophy behind
designing a receiver to meet such stringent
certifi cation requirements.

ENTER A NEW REALM OF SOUND
Forget everything you thought you knew about receivers
with the Elite line. The latest thinking in audio engineering
was methodically brought to bear, and nothing less than
cutting edge materials and modern fabrication techniques
were considered in their development. This is why an Elite
receiver is both the muscular heart and brilliant mind of
any great home theater.
HERE’S TO THE SUBLIME
ABUNDANCE OF POWER
Sit back and be enveloped by the primal essence of sound. With
a Digital Core Engine at the heart of every Elite receiver, the
pinnacle of digital audio is but a single touch of a power button
away. Lose yourself in auditory bliss as the Sharc Ex® chips
and 48-bit Freescale® DSP Engines conduct an engineering
symphony with power to spare. And the 24 bit D/A converters
will ensure that even with all that power behind it, the signal
will remain pure from input to output.
ADAPTATION AT ITS FINEST
The intelligent, perceptive and intuitive features designed into our
receivers transform every room into acoustic nirvana. Furniture,
window coverings, ceiling height, room shape, everything that
makes a personal space your own is analyzed and considered.
Elite receivers will explore every corner, every wall, and then
evaluate the acoustic characteristics of a room, neutralize and
level out the sound fi eld, and automatically detect and calibrate
each connected speaker. The Advanced Multi-Channel Acoustic
Calibration System with Standing Wave Control does all the work,
leaving you an audio experience unlike any other.
TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION
FOR A TRANSCENDENT EXPERIENCE
The ultimate audio HD experience for home theater begins
with DTS®-HD and Dolby® TrueHD—these two high defi ni-
tion formats are at the leading edge of home theater audio,
offering you an enveloping surround experience. Elite
receivers are expertly fl uent in Dolby® Digital EX,
DTS® Extended Surround, DTS 96/24 decoding, and
advanced concert and cinema modes. So no matter how your
source material is encoded, it will have never sounded better.
And to make sure your cinema experience is a transcendent
one above all others, all Pioneer Elite receivers are THX®
Select2™ certifi ed.
GOOD RELATIONSHIPS ARE PRICELESS
No matter what entertainment sources and devices you have,
your Elite receiver can work with them seamlessly. Music
from your iPod® player has never sounded better. Gaming has
never been so engrossing, XM® or SIRIUS® satellite radio so
captivating, Blu-ray Disc® so immersing, DVDs so engaging,
a purity of sound that stands alone
LIKE ANY OTHER COMPONENT WE OFFER, OUR SPEAKERS ARE ENGINEERED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PUREST OF SOUND,
AND DESIGNED AROUND OUR CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED TAD DRIVERS. WE’VE USED THE MOST ADVANCED MATERIALS,
SUCH AS BERYLLIUM, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE. ADDING TO THAT SUPERIOR
CRAFTSMANSHIP AND OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WE THEN LET THE SOUND SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
EX SPEAKERS 29
AN EXPERIENCE PROVEN UNLIKE
ANY OTHER The EX Series was rigorously
tested at the world-renowned AIR Studios in London.
Founded by legendary producer Sir George Martin,
the studio’s aural expertise is second to none. We
couldn’t ask for a better testament of ability.
FUNCTION AND BEAUTY Our EX
Series cabinets are crafted from multiple layers
of laminated MDF. They’re designed to remain
sonically inert enhancing audio stability and
therefore taking nothing away from the
exceptional clarity and focus of the sound.
PASSION THROUGH UNITY The unique
one-piece cone and center cap construction of
the EX Series bass drivers adds rigidity and
mechanical integrity. This eliminates unwanted
cone resonances, improves accuracy and
delivers bass that can be felt down to your core.
THE PUREST
REPLICATION OF SOUND
AND NOTHING LESS
LET THE WAVES OF SOUND
WASH OVER YOU
You’ve embarked on a journey to a world of audio perfection.
Here, nothing is left to chance and unprecedented sound
replication is the standard. As with any Elite component, we
strive for a perfect replication of the medium. With our latest
speakers, the EX Series, use the fi nest engineering and
materials to deliver a sound so true they virtually erase the
line between studio and home audio.
THE IMPECCABLE UNION OF
ENGINEERING AND ARTISTRY
Given the right nurturing, brilliance can be found at the
crossroads of art and engineering. When Pioneer started to
develop the EX series, we put our engineers in the same room
as the recording artists. The results were spectacular—
speakers that take both the art and science of audio
reproduction to unparalleled levels of accuracy. You will hear
exactly what the artists and engineers want you to hear.
TAD DRIVERS CREATE WORLDS
The concert hall presence of a chamber orchestra, the
cleansing sounds of a tropical forest, or the violent chaos
of a cinematic chase scene; they all become completely
real with TAD drivers built into EX Speakers. Beryllium,
the lightest, most rigid material possible for speakers,
is used, and this is why monitors with TAD drivers are
considered the undisputed fi rst choice for recording studios.
For the home theater, it’s like conjuring up new places and
environments every day.
ALL TOGETHER, EVERY TIME
The groundbreaking principle behind the EX Series
distortion-free sound: Tweeters, midranges and bass drivers
all delivering their separate frequencies to your ears at
exactly the same time. To make a speaker that aligns sound
perfectly, we use a Coherent Source Transducer (CST) that
puts the tweeter in the center of the midrange driver, and a
revolutionary curved and slanted baffl e to present the drivers
in complete alignment.
TAKE YOUR EARS TO A PLACE
THEY’VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE
We will settle for nothing less than a complete and totally
immersive experience. And to understand this absolute
commitment is to understand why we put as much time and
dedication into the development of our EX Series speaker
line as we do all of our other components. We know audio
is an inseparable part of home entertainment and respect it
as such. One listen, and your ears will agree and your heart
will understand.
HEAR WHAT EXCELLENCE
SOUNDS LIKE
Every element of the EX Series is engineered and constructed to deliver bold rich, clear sound.

Rounding out our critical listening music systems is the
exclusive Pure Audio Collection of hi-fi delity Elite audio
components. A choice of two amplifi ers and two SACD disc players
will let you close your eyes and let the music take you there.
THE STEREO RECEIVERS
The SX-A6-J and SX-A9-J amplifi ers are both designed
to reproduce sound as the recording artist intended it. In
addition, the SX-A9-J can be used as a preamplifi er, and can
amplify your most treasured digital music fi les directly from
a portable hard drive or USB drive.
THE SACD PLAYERS
Subtle music detail is the seemingly tiny but key difference
between simple stereo separation, and a soundstage so open and
wide you can see the physical placement of each instrument, of
each musician in your mind’s eye. Both the PD-D6-J and PD-D9-J
SACD players utilize technically precise detail and an ultra-high
sampling rate to provide a large and sweeping audio experience.
“SPLENDID. SINCERELY, LONDON.”
Our engineers utilized the expertise of AIR Studios to ensure
that the Pure Audio Collection delivers an experience as
powerful as seeing a performance live. At last, the hi-fi
renaissance has offi cially begun.

Flat Panels: High-Definition Television (HDTV): HDTV refers to a complete product/system with the following minimum performance attributes: Receiver: receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions and decodes all ATSC Table 3 video formats. Display Scanning Format: has active vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive (720p), 1,080 interlaced (1,080i) or higher. Aspect Ratio: capable of displaying a 16:9 image. Audio: Receives and reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby Digital audio (Consumer Electronics Association, August 2000). Plasma Display Systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility that some pixels may be inactive, flashing or continually illuminated. All phosphor-based display systems may develop image retention, sometimes called burn-in if permanent. Recommended guidelines are as follows: Do not display still images for long periods. Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below of content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. Pioneer’s Plasma Display Systems are equipped with multiple wide-screen viewing modes to fill the entire screen with content. Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. However, if your Plasma Display System displays still images for additional long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable.
All images on screens are simulated.

CD Players: Can play CD-R and CD-RW music discs in music CD and Video CD format. However, the pickup may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW discs recorded via PC, depending on the condition of discs and pickup or PC system setup parameters. MICROSOFT, WINDOWS MEDIA and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. WMA content can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7, 7.1, or Windows Media Player forWindows XP, or Windows Media Player

WMA files encoded with DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection will not play. Up to 299 folders and 648 files (MP3 and WMA) in total can be played. Protection: (Digital Rights Management) Copy protection is a technology designed to prevent unauthorized copying by restricting playback, etc. of material or devices other than the PC (or other WMA recording equipment) used to record it.

CPRM copy protection technology, with scramble system, allows the recording of copy-once broadcast programs, but not copying of such recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs in VR mode, and can only be played on CPRM-compatible players. When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, take proper precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/PDIF,AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.

All DVD players featured in this catalog are classed as Regional Code 1. Some discs may not be playable due to different recording formats or physical condition of the disc at the time of recording or playback.
