All we had to do something for the first time, and of how this time will depend largely on the next steps. It is based on the neophytes, who decided to taste the sound quality, designed for domestic cinema set, consisting of a 5.0-Attitude Echo acoustics and AV-receiver Pioneer VSX-329.

Feature of domestic cinema

Of course, at such a low price it is reasonable to expect all sorts of compromises, and this is true, but on the whole system turned out to be surprisingly good. The five-channel receiver is successfully combined with five-channel acoustics and design, and performance. Furthermore, the system seamlessly fit and our subwoofer, which we used in the evaluation of multi-channel sound. Vented front speakers contain inch tweeter and a pair of midrange / woofer diameter of 6.5 inches. The center channel speaker and surround used 4-inch midrange transducers and tweeters size ¾ inch.

The receiver is able to decode high-definition audio streams major formats, ready to work with 3D-video signal and transmits 4K. Located on the front panel USB port lets you listen to music from iPhone / iPod files from USB-drives in formats AAC / MP3 / WMA. Also available AM ​​/ FM-tuner with RDS and 30 radio stations.

A bit of compromise. As typical of low-cost devices, the receiver is not implemented video conversion. The analog video input signal is not transmitted to the HDMI-out. Customize the unit under the acoustic characteristics of the room, you must manually – auto-calibration is not provided, although it is hardly worth it to refer to serious shortcomings, as this procedure – usually single. In addition, we visited the instance with due regard could be seen as the cosmetic flaws in manufacturing speakers.

When used in stereo set proved to be a very good idea. The compositions in jazz interpretations of Bach Jacques Loussier Trio when playing a Blu-ray convey the atmosphere of a live performance at Leipzig cathedral, with a fairly broad picture and sound tonally balanced. Bass sounds lively and elastic, piano – vigorously. And this is true for stereo – when switching to multichannel tonal balance somewhat worse.

Behind the back of the new domestic cinema

The patch panel of the receiver does not look as impressive as that of the more expensive models, but all the connectors required to work with laser players, satellite receivers, and gaming consoles, there has

Less impressed us the use of the kit as part of DC. In the movie “Admiral” loud battle scenes (with the support of the subwoofer) passed convincingly, but during the dialogue, attention is drawn not to the characters on the screen and to the center channel, which is clearly not enough volume and larger speakers.

Summarize. For the “gurus” in the field of domestic cinema Hi-Fi, this kit is unlikely to be of interest, but for those who are going to discover the sound quality, it can be a ticket to this wonderful world.

Price – domestic cinema: $ 430

PROS – domestic cinema: Good sound in stereo mode, the lowest price per set

CONS – domestic cinema: Malovata center channel speaker, not the build quality column

VERDICT – domestic cinema: A good choice for a first acquaintance with domestic cinema Hi-Fi-sound; If you plan to use a set of primarily as a recreation center, you should consider buying a subwoofer

Dolby Atmos – a new stage in the development of technology surround. In the traditional theatrical set, acoustics appears vertical component. Additional ceiling speaker or speakers whose radiation is directed upwards and is reflected from the ceiling, allow to generate a real sound dome.

Feature of AV-receiver review

The purpose of this approach – creating a more authentic acoustic spaces. The sound becomes high, and various effects are moved around the room more natural than ever before.

That’s the theory, and in the performance of AV-receiver review Onkyo TX-NR3030 has successfully embodied in practice. There are quite subtle sensations: sounds do not fall on top of the listener – rather it seems that the room was spacious. Acoustic space – a huge, three-dimensional and truly all-embracing.

One gets the impression that the room is no longer the ceiling. When people start to fall the first drops of rain, it is you even a little puzzled, but soon covered delight. Switch to the standard Atmos 5.1 kit – and you suddenly realize how much is actually suppressed the ceiling. Before the advent of Dolby Atmos is overlooked.

Of course, it is not only in the atmosphere. Sometimes you just want to hear the whistle of bullets near the left ear, and effects on the distribution system Dolby Atmos is simply gorgeous. The roar of drones and helicopters overhead watching the film “Transformers: Age of Extinction” (Blu-ray-discs with Atmos is, by the way, very few) bring a smile, spectators. Bullets fly through you, hitting the opposite wall and not get stuck in one corner.

But apart from the new AV-receiver review Atmos Onkyo many advantages. When 5.1-channel application, it creates a strikingly ambitious sound that has all the necessary characteristics.

Because of the tonal balance is not emphasized any frequency sub-bands: a clear top do not suffer sharpness, MF encouraging full and straightforwardness, bass – deep and resilient. Soft and round sound very pleasant to listen to.

Impressive and rich detail. The rattle and clang of a submarine in the movie “Black Sea” in the Blu-ray-disc were so natural that we are worried about the integrity of their own premises. All the subtle nuances of the sound worked flawlessly.

At Onkyo is not the agilest and energetic sound, but it’s quite easy to lift and is endowed with powerful dynamics.

Sound competition AV-receiver review Pioneer SC-LX88, certainly more exciting, but also begins to tire more quickly. In addition, Pioneer is noticeably inferior to finesse. Onkyo is not so much adrenaline charge but easily captures the listener.

Over the sound of AV-receiver review gets the highest score, but all the other parameters are not worse. Facilities TX-NR3030 is more than adequate to its price. It has 11 channels of amplification and two for the subwoofer; This provides additional flexibility in the placement of speakers Atmos. We have used the system 5.1.4 format (five AU base DC, one subwoofer and four speakers Atmos); receiver allows you to extend it to 7.2.4.

Onkyo knows almost everything. Do you need streaming? DLNA certification means that you can transfer music and networked computers and NAS-servers.

To connect to the network are Ethernet connector and built-in Wi-Fi; second increases the versatility of use first provides greater stability. The list of compatible formats – MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless, LPCM and DSD to 5.6 MHz.

Supports AirPlay lets you take music from devices Apple; the owners of the models of other brands can take advantage of built-in Bluetooth. If you are tired of listening to the same song, at your service – the whole Internet. Onkyo supports Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Deezer and Aupeo – an ocean of available content.

In terms of connections from Onkyo’s all right. Eight HDMI-inputs will be more than enough for everyday use. In addition, available as optical and coaxial digital inputs; USB-port allows you to play music from flash drives and the iPod.

Many analog inputs and outputs can be used to listen in multiple zones.

Do you not like a standard remote control? At your service – an application AV-receiver review Onkyo Remote: a simple, but very comfortable. Basic control buttons perform basic – for example, the direction of the arrow. Smetana move left or right, opens the page for setting TONE and listening mode, or select the zones (main, second and third). The application is also able to stream music from your smartphone. At any time, you can call the volume control.

The app is free for Android and iOS. You only need to connect the receiver to a smartphone and the same network.

A few words about setting Onkyo. Particular attention should be paid to the connected speakers in order not to get lost in the terminals that do not have notes for speakers Atmos – they have to be connected to the outputs and Verh1 Verh2.

Auto Calibration quite accurate, but the results should be checked to make sure that the receiver is recognized and Verh1 Verh2 as columns Atmos. If you are using a large speaker, be sure to double-check their size on the menu.

It is also beginning to turn off all sound processing modes and experiment with each one individually. Mode “Night” levels dynamics, making the sound less expressive; unplug it – and you know what an Onkyo.

As for the design, then AV-receiver review is not a standard in this respect, and the TX-NR3030 is no exception. However, he has a pretty good looks. On the front panel – the volume control and source selection buttons. We would prefer the knob instead of buttons, but it is not so crucial. The workmanship is at a height; the metal body in black or silver finish rather weighty after installation is not tempted to move it.

The remote control is quite easy to use – designed dimensions, roomy arranged buttons and navigation system that does not require a doctoral degree. If you lose control, or he will lose one’s attraction, you will gain free app for devices running iOS – a simple but very comfortable.

Verdict of AV-receiver review

Av-receiver review Onkyo TX-NR3030 we really like. Best-in-class sound and a host of useful features more than justify its price. We have already started to worry about is not the highest rating models Onkyo, but our fears were unfounded. Return left triumphant; new receiver exceptionally well.

Blu-ray-player reference level from Pioneer, we have not seen for several years. More specifically, seven years. Now we finally get to know the heir of a five-star 2008 model, BDP-LX91 – BDP-LX88.

This versatile player plays not only Blu-ray-discs, DVD- and CD, but also SACD and DVD-Audio.

Equipped with Pioneer generally inferior to Oppo BDP-105D. It has two HDMI-output. Namely, coaxial and optical outputs, stereo analog (balanced and RCA) and two USB-ports. But no headphone jack and other digital inputs in addition to USB. And it’s a shame because the built-in DAC is very good – it’s the same ESS Sabre 32 ES9018 DAC, that of the Oppo.

Features of the Pioneer BDP-LX88

The list of built-in network services is limited to Picasa for photos and YouTube for movies. Neither Netflix, BBC iPlayer or not provided. They will certainly find your AV-receiver or TV. Yet their absence is sad.

Pioneer BDP-LX88 supports all popular music formats. And as DSD 2,8 MHz and PCM up to 24 bit / 192 kHz.

As you would expect in this price range, it reproduces 3D converter and includes Ultra HD 4K for upsampling content.

Strong and high-quality housing and a stylish front panel makes a good impression. Simple on-screen menus are clear and easy to use. Remote control somewhat overwhelmed, but the backlight allows you to see all the right buttons in the dark.

The quality of the picture on the Pioneer BDP-LX88

Playback quality Blu-ray-Disc also excellent. The contours are clearly drawn, texture detailed, color and natural skin tones. But although a little cooler neutral. The motion passed with confidence, very little noise.

DVD playback is not less than pleased. In the movie “RoboCop” in 2014, we noted sharp contours. The natural color palette and high enough detail. One of us even suggested that we watch Blu-ray-drive.

In the Player Pioneer BDP-LX88 is very accurate and detailed sound. And the scene – a little more modest in size than the Oppo BDP-105D, but more focused. The impression of the action scenes enhanced elasticity and detailed bass. Explosions hearty and powerfully, by Oppo they seem to be somewhat more sluggish.

The sound of the Pioneer BDP-LX88

Unfortunately, the sound quality of music in stereo disappointing. Despite the decent detail, it is not so high as to abandon the specialized CD-player. “Moonlight” by Debussy performed extremely tough and bright. And Pastime Paradise Stevie Wonder lack the necessary sophistication and meticulousness in exploring the dynamics.

If we talk about movies, the choice between the Oppo and Pioneer depends on personal taste. It is not enough high-quality stereo sound makes us lower assessment Pioneer BDP-LX88. Since the Oppo BDP-105D more even quality and a complete equipment.

Rating: 4

Pros: Clear and detailed picture; workmanship; application; accurate sound in the movies; tight elastic bass

Cons: Small stream functions; sound little bit poor; quality stereo to low

Conclusion of the Pioneer BDP-LX88

Player Pioneer BDP-LX88 is very good for movies, but CD playback does not hold.

From what source today listen to music often? If you look around on the street, it can be concluded that with smartphones. And at home? Experienced social scientists could draw a complete picture. Where the percentage would be distributed according to the country, age, well-being and other factors.

And it is unlikely the respondents of the survey was limited to a choice of only one source of music content. It is this inclusiveness is now manufacturers should fit in this popular, especially among novice users Hi-Fi-technology product as a micro system. Let’s look closer at the new sound system.

Features of the Pioneer X-HM82

Functionality sets Pioneer X-HM82 incorporates virtually the entire spectrum of modern methods of producing music content. Starting from the FM-radio and laser discs (CD, WAV, MP3) files to HD-audio (including DSD) on the LAN. You can also connect third-party devices to the analog inputs or the TV to the optical. And built to replace him in the dynamics of the high-grade speaker.

Electronic unit – Network Receiver – With its small size, looks quite solid. Its body is made of aluminum adorns the front panel. And it is not much inferior in appearance expensive components. Large LCD display detail and clearly displays information about the parameters of the signal. And even puts an image on the screen album covers with the broadcast content from the server.

Performance Pioneer X-HM82

Cascade gain receiver, working in class D, provides 50 watts of power per channel. It provides wide scope for selecting columns. But those that are included, are quite good, especially considering the reasonable price so versatile microsystems. The columns come with a soft dome tweeter and midrange/woofer with Kevlar cone. Reflex port goes to the back cover, which is a bit limited options for their placement.

We liked best sounding Pioneer X-HM82 with a built-in CD-drive. It is clear, detailed and quite developed. Most pleased with the lack of sharpness on the RF and digital dryness. Album Diana Krall When I Look in Your Eyes obeys easily and happily. Singing Posted lively and expressive. When playing a CD The Massacre of the rapper 50 Cent songs celebrating the distinct layering, good rhythm, and pretty confident feeding bass lines. In a small room, the LF will be even more significant.

But the CD – it’s all the same “outgoing nature.” And the Pioneer X-HM82  provides access to other sources of content. This can be a network server that is connected the cable, and on Wi-Fi, or USB-drive. And as a gadget Apple, connected to USB-port type A on the front panel. The sound in these cases distinguishes the same smoothness, softness, but without losing the sharpness of HF and rhythm, diversity and focus. However, getting a little worse coherence and organization. But not so much that it irritated or deprived listening pleasure. And the original high-resolution files HD-Audio significantly smoothes roughness in the sound.

Fans have music round the clock will appreciate the opportunity to continue its consumption from your favorite smartphone at home without headphones. Even MP3-records sent via Bluetooth (with aptX), will not result in a drop in the quality of despondency – clear voice Pelagia. For example, with the sometimes bizarre vocal techniques will not disappoint fans of her work. Instrumental accompaniment is also detailed, developed and distinct.

Where better to where a little worse, Pioneer X-HM82 confidently handles all modern content sources. Not losing sight of the more traditional, which provides a complete qualitative and fatigue-sounding music. Such a wagon worth a closer look. Pioneer X-HM82 is suitable for the role of the second system in the house, and for some it may be the first step into the world of Hi-Fi.

Price of the Pioneer X-HM82: $ 670

Pros of the Pioneer X-HM82: Facilities and easy operation; transparent, detailed and generally pleasing sound without digital taste

Cons of the Pioneer X-HM82: Not sold without speakers

Conclusion of the Pioneer X-HM82

Pioneer X-HM82 has good as a second system in the house, or as a first step into the world of modern Hi-Fi.

In 2012, Pioneer released the N-50 player – he was so good that the two years of our honored with awards. New Pioneer N-50A – a rare case when the sequel better than the original one is only a list of functions is already talking about mnogom.N-50A is able to work with a variety of sources. Support DLNA certified, you can connect to your home network to a variety of devices – from the server to the NAS-smartphone. USB-port type A allows you to play music from iPod, iPhone, external hard drive or flash drive, and port type B – connect to your computer.

There is also a Spotify Connect and Internet radio; AirPlay is useful to owners of devices Apple. And if that’s not enough, there are optical and coaxial digital inputs. To use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth will have to buy an adapter. List of formats is impressive: MP3, LPCM, WAV, WMA, AAC, Apple lossless, FLAC, AIFF, and DSD. Support for HD-audio formats to apply to 32-bit / 192 kHz (5.6 MHz for DSD). Whatever you suggested N-50A, it certainly handle it.

But most impressive is the quality of its sound. RF inherent confidence and control, average range – a balanced and detailed; the weighty bass does not seem sluggish. Changing the pitch is quite authentic.

At Pioneer groovy and very rhythmic sound with Continuous dynamics. Expressive voice; it is worth noting the high quality of the attack – a combination of energy and accuracy of any music makes delicious.

Excellent detail and high purity ensure enviable meticulousness. Voices and instruments are placed precisely on the volume and a large music scene.

If you like to experiment with a sound mode you’re in luck. Mode “Audio processing Hi-bit 32” bit of the input signal increases, tending to make for his form more smooth, close to the analog. “Upsampling” lifts it up to 192 kHz; it can be called “artificial HD». The sound becomes more detailed but more “sleek” and less dynamic.

To play back files of low quality with a strong compression function is “AutoRecover sound.” It acts on the qualitative tracks: the sound becomes less clear, so it is hardly used it.

We really liked the mode «Direct», enabled by default; when it does not pass the digital audio signal processing. The sound is a purer, precise and much more rhythmic.

Metal case N-50A looks very good quality. We like simple, modern front panel of brushed aluminum. Color LCD display at the N-50 was too small; here it increased to 3.5 inches. Defines color finish product name: Silver is in N-50A-S in black and N-50A-K (K denotes «kuro», or “black”).

In detail – Pioneer N-50A

Overview of network music player Pioneer N-50A: Proposal from which you can not refuse

1. Without wires

N-50A is not equipped with a built-in wireless network. You can buy branded adapter AS-WL300, connect it to the Ethernet connector, and power he will get through this USB-output.

2. Take control

If you have other components Pioneer (eg, CD-player or amplifier), you can connect it here and manage all applications with ControlApp.

Remote control pleases a convenient location with responsive buttons. Smartphone owners can download the free application called banal ControlApp for Android and iOS. It is convenient to select songs and view cover art, but generally not fully thought out.

Pioneer N-50A exceptionally well; if you need a network player at a reasonable price, do not look for anything else. He has – sound quality and lots of useful features. Two-time winner of beat Award is very easy, but the Pioneer succeeded. We are ecstatic!

Price: $ 650

Over the past 10 years, smartphones have evolved from a simple means of communication to this laptop, absorbing a large number of useful applications and functions. Such as camera, Messager, player, navigation, etc. The more smartphones take place in our life, the more there is a variety of integrated devices, including consumer electronics.

The process of connecting your smartphone to absolutely any operating system is fairly simple. You just need to click on the column interface and find it in the list of Bluetooth-enabled devices. That’s all. It seems to be all true, but often have to deal with the fact that the device can not find, contact constantly falls off or there is any other faults. Therefore, global manufacturers coming up with the times, such as the Japanese company Pioneer, offering its customers not only a large selection of micro-enabled interface, Bluetooth, and specially designed software.

Business application Wireless Streaming App (by the way, is available for free in the AppStore and Google Play) provides users with Bluetooth-systems simple algorithm to connect and manage music streams wirelessly with iOs and Android devices. Simply launch the app on your smartphone or tablet, select one of the compatible device Pioneer, and get: fast and efficient connection, the ability to control music with the usual gadget, add different sound effects, as well as a brief guide for making Bluetooth synchronization.

Compatible with Wireless Streaming App microsystems – a great many, this portable device, such as a series of FREEme or XW-BTSP1, more powerful and feature-rich system presented in a series of X-SMC, X-CM, X-HM, as well as in models of X- EM22 and X-PM12, which we describe in more detail.

Portable systems

A series of portable speakers FREEme two models: XW-LF3 and XW-LF1, which differ from each other only in finishing materials. The functional model and its features are absolutely identical.

Appearance

Portable speakers FREEme outside most similar to a small eyeglass case. More accurate dimensions: 151x46x83 mm. Obviously, any bag will fit without problems. The device weighs just over three hundred grams. Top XW-LF3 is made of genuine leather trim, XW-LF1 – from natural rubber, with the ends of both models are closed aluminum bars. Bottom leg is made of soft rubber feel vaguely reminiscent of suede.

Control elements located on the rear panel. This is, from left to right: the power button, the activation of pairing mode, volume, answer the call. All buttons are touch-sensitive (ie, the most “accurate” version, it is such here and need) and remarkably pressed. This is followed by a recessed button to restart the speaker, 3.5mm jack and connector for the charger.

On the front of the grid is a light indicator. It works very effectively, smoothly changing the luminescence intensity depending on usage. MicroUSB connector is also equipped with a backlight, that I can understand, the charge or column yet.

Connection

Wireless music playback via Bluetooth portable speakers FREEme comes with support A2DP protocol and conjugation through the module NFC. For Bluetooth connection you need to bring NFC enabled device to the contact point, the pairing takes place quickly and without problems.

Testing the XW-LF1 in the editorial, we have personally verified that the sound from the speakers is fairly good and loud, it makes sense to connect them not only smartphones and tablets, but also, for example, laptops. To do this, and provided audio jack, and comes bundled with cable. Options are generally quite generous. The set also comes Case and even an adapter for non-European outlet.

Sounding

So we gradually come to the main point. As you have probably realized, its main function, audio playback, audio system perform perfectly. The sound is loud, quite detailed in the low and mid frequencies. Accordingly, for a variety of electronic music trends, hip-hop or grunge it fits perfectly.

Deserves special praise and technology surround 360 ° Wide Circle Sound, applied in series models FREEme. Its meaning is evident from the title. Indeed, even the propagation of sound – a clear advantage of this system. You definitely appreciate it if you watch the movie with seven of the laptop in a tent or in the country.

Autonomy

Devices work approximately 11-12 hours. In general, this is enough to for a few days in the country or in a campaign to forget about the charger at all. When the audio system is low, the Micro-USB port is highlighted in red. Charge to 100% electronic gadgets for a couple of hours.

XW-BTSP1, in turn, on Garabitov similar, but slightly different forms, and its speaker is not directed in all directions. Nevertheless, the model also has the support function and Bluetooth NFC.

Microsystems

Microsystem Pioneer, supporting transmission audipotokov via Bluetooth can be easily identified by the letters «BT» in the model name.

Should start, perhaps, with the most elegant models, X-SMC01BT. In addition to the elegant appearance, it is endowed with the ability to play music from the device over a wireless connection. The sound will be good, but if you want more, for iPhone owners provided connector Lighting. Through it, you can play music from iTunes in high quality.

System power is 20 watts.

Model X-SMC55, essentially similar to the X-SMC01BT, but has a higher functionality. In particular, supports Wireless Direct2. With it you can send streaming audio has, in fact, through faster compared to Bluetooth Wi-Fi without a router. It supports standards such as AirPlay and DLNA v1.5. In addition, you can use more and Spotify, if you are the subscriber, and strimmit music straight from the service. Accordingly, the capacity of the device twice, compared with X-SMC01BT-W: For 40 watts.

X-CM32BT and X-CM-42BT – two similar system equipped with Class-D (2×15 watts). Similarly, as the model X-SMC, these devices support playback of music from anywhere, including CD.

The similarities do not end there. System absolutely does not matter what OS is running works your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth it transmits music with equal success. There are also additional, easy-to-use features such as Auto-Bluetooth Auto Connect and standby Bluetooth Stand-by.

With the included remote control and stand under iPhoneiPodiPad. The difference between the X-CM42BT and X-CM32BT only in the fact that the first has a built-in docking station for the latest generations of iPod and iPhone.

The main difference microsystem X-HM22 from the foregoing models, mainly lies in the design. It is important to note that this model comes with a built-Class D stereo amplifier and two two-lane Vented speakers rated at 15 watts. In each set of 10-inch woofer and a 5-inch tweeter soft dome and a removable grille.

X-HM72 / 82 – more expensive models due to its advanced network capabilities and high-quality audio components class Hi-End. Bluetooth in them compatible with the audio codec aptX, which is able to quickly stream music wirelessly and without loss. This codec can transmit uncompressed audio formats such as FLAC and WAV. Amplifier in the X-HM72 / 82 has a capacity of 2×50 watts, and a column with a 120 mm mid / bass driver made of fiberglass and 25 mm soft dome tweeter. The difference between the models solely in the materials used in their manufacture. Of course, all the network functions, as mentioned earlier, are available to them.

Special mention deserve two more models, announced recently: X-EM22 and X-PM12.

X-EM22 has two amplifiers from the front with a capacity of 15 watts. Supports CD in it still is. Also it is integrated FM-tuner with RDS, USB-port available. Playback formats supported: MP3 or WMA files from your music collection. Bluetooth, of course, is also available.

X-PM12 like her, but among other things, support CD-RW discs, which can store mp3-files.

Digital Amplifier 38 W in each column, and the ability to connect to the device optional powered subwoofer – the key to a strong sound, and an additional passive radiator in every way contribute to a truly high-quality bass.

In turn, the mode P-BASS, even more they reveal, will plunge into the music with his head. The main feature of the model is that, despite the relatively modest size, the sound it produces is truly impressive.

As previously mentioned, all the mentioned microsystems can be controlled by Pioneer Wireless Streaming App, app available for iOS, and for Android.

And in the end I want to say that Pioneer’s neat approach in the design of their products can be felt throughout, and the combination of high-tech “curls” with a strict classical design clearly the most pleasant experience.

The recent news of the return of the Pioneer brand in the TV market, thanks to the intervention of Dixons, has caused mixed reactions among fans, divided between those who hailed this revival of a brand with a pedigree important, and those who believe it Whether a mere commercial transaction, which uses a brand famous and appreciated to sell LCD TVs as many others. From England, specifically from the head HDTV Test, now rumors come pretty accurate on the panels used for these new TVs: to supply is the China’s TCL, a brand we’re talking about quite often in recent months ( as in the case of the colossal 110 ” ), given the intention to impose itself in the western market.

TCL has not even limited to providing only the panels: going to compare the images of the TV launched under the brand Thomson (owned by the Chinese manufacturer, which has relaunched in Europe), you can see many similarities, as evidenced by the photo at the opening (left is the place Pioneer TV, right to Thomson). Not only TV shows with the same image, but they are also essentially identical cosmetically. In essence, the TV Pioneer marketed by Dixons nothing more than rebranded Thomson.
