Photos: More gadget goodies from Pioneer's UK headquarters

We got a first look at Pioneer's LCD TVs on Friday, but that wasn't enough. While at the company's head office, we had a poke around to see what other technological goodies the manufacturer was producing, from high-end AV receivers with 'Air Studios' certification to new Blu-ray players. We could hardly keep our camera steady.

Pioneer once had a significant investment in Air and the two companies have worked closely together to produce audio equipment ever since. Not only is Air Studios set up for music, but it's also one of Europe's foremost movie soundtrack mixing facilities. When testing a film on the Pioneer SC-LX90 surround receiver with a Blu-ray disc, they can get the original sound engineer to come and listen, which means you know it'll do a good job at reproducing the original soundtrack.

Most people won't buy these top-end products; quite simply, they're too expensive for most home cinemas. The great news is that everything Pioneer creates is improved by its work with Air, so even if a product doesn't carry that prestigious logo, it's still benefited from the experience.
