About KURO LINK function

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

The input switches automatically on the Flat Panel TV and AV system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.) 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.
