Before Starting Playback About Control Function with HDMI The functions work when a control function with HDMIcompatible Pioneer Flat Panel TV or AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) is connected to the player using an HDMI cable. Also refer to the operating instructions of the Flat Panel TV and AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.). To use the control function with HDMI • The control function with HDMI operates when control function with HDMI is set to On for all devices connected with HDMI cables. • Once connections and the settings of all the devices are finished, be sure to check that the player's picture is output to the Flat Panel TV. (Also check after changing the connected devices and reconnecting HDMI cables.) The control function with HDMI may not operate properly if the player's picture is not properly output to the Flat Panel TV. • Use High Speed HDMI® Cables when using the control function with HDMI. The control function with HDMI may not operate properly if other HDMI cables are used. • For some models, the control function with HDMI may be referred to as "KURO LINK" or "HDMI Control". • The control function with HDMI does not work with devices of other brands, even if connected with an HDMI cable. What the control function with HDMI can do • Outputting the optimum picture quality to a Flat Panel TV compatible with the control function with HDMI. When the control function with HDMI is enabled, video signals with the optimum picture quality for control function with HDMI are output from the player's HDMI terminal. • Operating the player with the Flat Panel TV's remote control.

This function is available only when playback is stopped and the menu screen is not displayed. About the PQLS function PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio transfer control technology using the HDMI control function. The player's output signals are controlled from the AV amplifier to achieve high sound quality playback using the amplifier's quartz oscillator. This eliminates the influence of the jitter generated during signal transfer which can adversely affect the sound quality. • This player supports the functions below. - The "PQLS 2ch Audio" function that is only activated when playing music CDs (CD-DAs) - The "PQLS Multi Surround" function that is activated when playing all discs (BDs, DVDs, etc.) with linear PCM audio output - The "PQLS Bitstream" function that is activated when playing with bitstream audio output • The various PQLS functions are activated when a Pioneer AV amplifier supporting the PQLS functions is connected directly to the HDMI OUT terminal with an HDMI cable and the main unit settings are set as shown below (page 21). Control function with HDMI: On HDMI audio output: PCM (PQLS multi-surround only) • Also refer to the AV amplifier's operating instructions. • See the Pioneer website for AV amplifiers supporting the PQLS function. CAUTION • The PQLS function may stop working when the video output resolution is switched. The PQLS function will start working again once playback is stopped then restarted. • When the PQLS 2ch function is activated, the output from the player's VIDEO OUTPUT jacks may not have the proper colors. If this happens, connect the TV and AV amplifier's HDMI terminals or the TV and player's COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to view the picture. • Turn on the power of the AV amplifier connected to the HDMI OUT terminal, then start playback of the disc.
