Features

HDMI*1 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*2, 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.

i.LINK*3 digital interface

The i.LINK interface makes it possible to connect this player to an i.LINK-equipped AV receiver with a single cable and enjoy high sampling rate (up to 192kHz) PCM multichannel digital audio from DVD-Audio and SACD discs, as well as digital audio from DVD-Video, CD, Video CD/Super VCD and MP3 discs.

In addition to simplified connection, jitterless audio is possible with Pioneer’s PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) technology when playing CDs, SACDs and DVD-Audio discs.

Other advantages of using i.LINK include ‘smart’ features such as automatic configuration and automatic function selection—start playback of a disc and the receiver automatically changes the input

function to this player.*4

Pure Audio listening

The Pure Audio feature allows you to listen to analog audio sources with the video and digital outputs disabled, and the front panel display switched off. This is particularly useful when listening to high-quality audio formats such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD.

DVD-Audio and SACD compatible

Experience the super high-quality audio performance of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD).

The on-board 24-bit/192kHz DAC means that this player is fully compatible with high sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution and high- frequency detail.

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.

Built-in Dolby*5 Digital and DTS*6 decoding with multichannel outputs

This player features multichannel analog outputs for connection to an AV amplifier to give you stunning surround sound from Dolby Digital, DTS and multichannel DVD-Audio discs.
