About connections with a product

of a different brand that supports

the Control with HDMI function

The synchronized operations below can be used

when the receiver’s

Control

with HDMI func-

tion is connected to a TV of a brand other than

Pioneer that supports the

Control

with HDMI

function. (Depending on the TV, however, some

of the

Control

with HDMI functions may not

work.)

!

When the TV’s power is set to standby, the

receiver’s power is also set to standby. (Only

when the input for a component connected to

the receiver by HDMI connection is selected or

when watching the TV)

!

The sound of TV programs or an external

input connected to the TV can also be output

from the speakers connected to the receiver.

(If the TV does not support the HDMI ARC

(Audio Return Channel) function, this requires

connection of an optical digital cable, etc., in

addition to the HDMI cable.)

The synchronized operations below can be

used when the receiver’s

Control

with HDMI

function is connected to a player or recorder of

a brand other than Pioneer that supports the

Control

with HDMI function.

!

When playback starts on the player or

recorder, the receiver’s input switches to

the HDMI input to which that component is

connected.

See the Pioneer website for the latest informa-

tion on the models of non-Pioneer brands and

products that support the

Control

with HDMI

function.

Setting the PQLS function

PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a

digital audio signal transfer control technology

using the

Control

with HDMI function. It offers

higher-quality audio playback by controlling

audio signals from the receiver to a PQLS com-

patible player, etc. This enables removing jitter

that has a negative effect on the quality of the

sound and is generated upon transmission.

!

On players compatible with PQLS Bit-stream,

PQLS always works for all sources.

!

On players compatible with PQLS Multi

Surround, PQLS works for all sources. Set the

player’s audio output to Linear PCM.

!

On players compatible with PQLS 2 ch Audio,

PQLS only works when playing CDs.

Please refer to the operating instructions sup-

plied with your player for more information.

This function is activated when

Control

is set

to

ON

.

!

If a listening mode other than

AUTO SURROUND

,

ALC

,

DIRECT

,

PURE DIRECT

or

STEREO

is selected while

the PQLS effect is enabled, the PQLS effect is

disabled.

!

When this receiver is connected by HDMI

cable to a Pioneer player that is compatible

with the PQLS function via HDMI connection

and HDMI reauthentication is performed

(the

HDMI

indicator blinks), the PQLS effect

is enabled and the listening mode is set to

AUTO SURROUND

if a listening mode other

than

AUTO SURROUND

,

ALC

,

DIRECT

,

PURE DIRECT

or

STEREO

is selected.

Press

on the remote control,

then press PQLS to select the PQLS setting.

The setting is displayed on the front panel

display.

!

PQLS AUTO

– PQLS is enabled. A precision

quartz controller in this receiver eliminates

distortion caused by timing errors (jitter),

giving you the best possible digital-to-analog

conversion when you use the HDMI interface.

This is valid as an HDMI function for PQLS-

compatible players.

!

PQLS OFF

– PQLS is disabled.
