About the HDMI high speed transmission

This player outputs 1080/50p, 1080/60p and Deep Color video signals. If your TV supports 1080/50p, 1080/60p or Deep Color signals, use a High Speed HDMI™ cable in order to take advantage of the maximum performance the player and TV can offer. Also set HDMI High-Speed Transmission to On (page 42).

High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up to 1080p. 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 720/50p, 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p and 720/ 60p video signals that are capable of Deep Color can also be carried.

Note

Set HDMI High-Speed Transmission to Off when using an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI™ cable (a Standard HDMI™ cable).

The following restrictions apply when HDMI High-Speed Transmission is set to Off:

Deep Color signals are not output.

If output video resolution is set to Auto, the signals are output with a resolution of 1080/50i or 1080/60i when TV’s preferred resolution is 1080/50p or 1080/60p.

When the output video resolution is set to 576i/480i or 576p/ 480p, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio signals are not output as such. They are either output as Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround signals or converted into linear PCM. Also, 96 kHz and 192 kHz multi-channel linear PCM audio signals cannot be output. They are output as 2-channel signals (page 50).

When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.

About HDCP

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copyright protection system by which digital video signals are encrypted.

When connected to a DVI device

It is not possible to connect DVI devices (computer displays, for example) that are not compatible with HDCP.

No audio signals are output. Connect using an audio cable (included), etc.

This player is designed for connection with HDMI-compatible devices. When connected to a DVI device, it may not operate properly depending on the DVI device.

About HDMI Control function

When the player is connected to a Pioneer Flat Screen TV, AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) or HD AV Converter, supporting the HDMI Control function, it can be operated from the Flat Screen TV, AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) or HD AV Converter.

The Flat Screen TV’s input is switched automatically when playback is started on the player or the Home Menu or the Home Media Gallery is displayed. When the input is switched, the playback picture, the Home Menu or the Home Media Gallery appears on the Flat Screen TV (Auto-select function). If the Flat Screen TV’s power is being turned off at this time, it may turn on automatically (Simultaneous power function). When the language information from a connected Flat Screen TV is received, you can have the player’s on-screen display language change automatically to that of the Flat Screen TV (Unified language function). This function is available only when playback is stopped and the menu screen is not displayed.

Also refer to the operating instructions of the Flat Screen TV, AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) or HD AV Converter.

To use the HDMI Control function

The HDMI Control function operates when HDMI Control 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 Screen TV. (Also check after changing the connected devices and reconnecting HDMI cables.) The HDMI Control function may not operate properly if the player’s picture is not properly output to the Flat Screen TV.

Use High Speed HDMI™ cables when using the HDMI Control function. The HDMI Control function may not operate properly if other HDMI cables are used.

The function name of KURO LINK used on the web and in catalogs is referred to as HDMI Control in the operating instructions and on the player.

About PQLS function

The PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a transfer control technology using the HDMI Control function. The player’s output signals are controlled from the AV receiver or amplifier to achieve high quality sound playback using the quartz oscillator of AV receiver or amplifier. This eliminates the influence of the jitter generated upon transfer which can adversely affect the sound quality.

The PQLS function is only activated when the player is connected to a Pioneer AV receiver or amplifier compatible with the PQLS function via HDMI connection.

The PQLS function is only activated when playing a music CD (CD-DA).

The PQLS function is activated when the player is set as follows (page 42):

HDMI Control: On

PQLS: Auto

Also refer to the operating instructions of AV receiver or amplifier.

Caution

If the output video resolution is switched when playing a music CD (CD-DA), the PQLS function does not work. This function will work again after playback stops and restarts.
