Listening to Pure Audio

This unit has been specially designed to

provide you the truest possible reproduction of recorded audio. When the Pure Audio feature is selected, the front panel display is switched off and the digital outputs are disabled, leaving you with the pure sound source.

The PURE AUDIO indicator on the front panel lights to indicate Pure Audio listening is on.

Using the SACD/CD

Hybrid SACD discs include a conventional CD layer along with the high-resolution SACD layer, so it is necessary to indicate to the player which layer you want to listen to. Use the SACD/CD to do this.1

•When the disc is stopped, press SACD/CD to switch between the CD area and the SACD area of a hybrid disc.

Using Legato Link Pro

For as great as CDs sound, the digital

recording process clips off important musical shadings and nuances above 20 kHz. These signals contain important clues about musical texture and shape that define a live musical event. Pioneer’s Legato Link Pro Conversion system uses psychoacoustic processing to restore missing high frequency dynamics to fully recapture all the shading and detail of the original performance.

•Press LEGATO LINK to switch Legato Link Pro Conversion on or off.

The LEGATO lights in the display to indicate Legato Link Pro Conversion is on.

Dimming the display

You can choose one of three brightness settings for the front panel display.

•Press DIMMER to switch between brightness settings for the display. Select between light, dark or backlight off.

Displaying disc information

Various track information, such as the elapsed and remaining playing time can be displayed while a disc is playing.2

• To switch the information displayed, press TIME repeatedly.
