07 Control with HDMI function The operations below can also be used on Pioneer Control with HDMI-compatible TVs. • When the receiver's volume is adjusted or the sound is muted, the volume status is displayed on the TV's screen. • When the OSD language is switched on the TV, the receiver's language setting also switches accordingly. 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 function 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 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 information 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 compatible 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 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 supplied with your player for more information. This function is activated when Control is set to ON.1 • Press RECEIVER , 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. Cautions on the Control with HDMI function • Connect the TV directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors. • Only connect components (Blu-ray disc player, etc.) you intend to use as a source to the HDMI input of this receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors. • When Control is set to ON, HDMI Input in The Input Setup menu on page 39 is automatically set to OFF. • When the receiver's Control is turned ON, even if the receiver's power is in the standby mode, it is possible to output the audio and video signals from a player via HDMI to the TV without producing sound from the receiver, but only when a Control with HDMIcompatible component (Blu-ray disc player, etc.) and compatible TV are connected. In this case, the receiver's power turns on and the power and HDMI indicators light. Note 1 • 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. 58 En
