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 only activated when playing a music CD (CD-DA).

•The PQLS function is activated when the player is set as follows (page 111): HDMI Control: On

PQLS: Auto

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