About the HDMI high speed transmission

This player outputs 1080/60p and Deep Color video signals. If your TV supports 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 41).

High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up to 1080p. 1080/60i, 1080/60p, 1080/24p 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 1080/60i, even if the TV’s preferred resolution is 1080/60p.

–When the output video resolution is set to 480i or 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

02

 

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

•The Flat Panel 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 Panel TV (Auto-select function). If the Flat Panel 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 Panel TV is received, you can have the player’s on-screen display language change automatically to that of the Flat Panel 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 Panel TV or AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.).

To use the HDMI Control function

•The HDMI Control function only works when outputting video signals from the HDMI terminal.

•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 Panel 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 Panel 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 catalogues is referred to as HDMI Control in the operating instructions and on the product.

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 activated when the player is set as follows (page 41):

HDMI Control: On

PQLS: Auto

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