Setting the PQLS function

PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio signal transfer control technology using the KURO LINK 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.

To use the PQLS function, set PQLS in the player’s Setup Navigator to AUTO.

Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your player for more information.

This function is activated when KURO LINK is set to ON.

•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.

•The receiver’s volume can be set and the sound can be muted using the TV’s remote control.

•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 receiver’s input switches automatically when the KURO LINK-compatible component is played.

•The receiver’s input switches automatically when the TV’s channel is switched.

•The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if the receiver’s input is switched to a component other than one connected by HDMI.

The operations below can also be used on Pioneer KURO LINK-compatible flat screen TVs.

•When the receiver’s volume is adjusted or the sound is muted, the volume status is displayed on the flat screen TV’s screen.
