Features

HDMI digital interface

The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) interconnect provides high quality digital audio and video, all from a single user- friendly connector. HDMI is the first consumer electronics interface to support uncompressed standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround sound audio, all using one interface. You can easily connect to a HDMI-equipped AV receiver or audiovisual device for high quality audio and video, and communication between the video source and (DTV) players, set-top boxes, and other audiovisual devices is also supported.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

HDMI Control

By connecting this unit to a Pioneer plasma television, AV system (amplifier or AV receiver etc.), or HD AV Converter with an HDMI cable, you can control this unit from the connected plasma television, as well as have the connected plasma television, AV system or HD AV Converter automatically change inputs in response to this unit starting playback or having the GUI screen (ex. Disc Navigator) displayed (known as the Auto-select function). The connected plasma television can thereby have its power turned from off to on by this function.

You can also have this unit turn on automatically when you control this unit from a connected plasma television that is turned on (Simultaneous power function).

Additionally, when the language information from a connected plasma television is received, you can have this unit’s on-screen display language change automatically to that of the plasma television (only when playback is stopped and GUI screen is not displayed).

Refer to your plasma television’s operating manual for more information regarding how your plasma television transmits language information.

For more information about which operations can be carried out by connecting via HDMI cable, refer to the operating manual for your plasma television, AV system or HD AV Converter.

DVD-Audio and SACD compatible

In addition, with SACD playback, you can select which part of the disc you want to hear (stereo audio, multi-channel audio and, for hybrid SACDs, standard CD audio) with the simple press of a button on the front panel.
