About synchronized operations

The Control with HDMI-compatible component connected to the receiver operates in sync as described below.

!From the menu screen of the Control with HDMI-compatible TV, set audio to be played through this receiver, and the receiver will switch to the synchronized amp mode.

!When in the synchronized amp mode, you can adjust the receiver’s volume or mute the sound using the TV’s remote control.

!When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized amp mode is canceled when the receiver’s power is turned off. To turn the

synchronized amp mode back on, set audio to be played through the receiver from the TV’s menu screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch to the synchronized amp mode.

!When the synchronized amp mode is canceled, the receiver’s power turns off if you were viewing an HDMI input or a TV program on the TV.

!When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized amp mode is canceled if an operation that produces sound from the TV is performed from the TV’s menu screen, etc.

!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 Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.

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

!The synchronized amp mode remains in

About connections with a product of a different brand that supports the Control with HDMI function

The synchronized operations below can be used when the receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected to a TV of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with HDMI function. (Depending on the TV, however, some

of the Control with HDMI functions may not work.)

!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 sound of TV programs or an external input connected to the TV can also be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. (If the TV does not support the HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, this requires connection of an optical digital cable, etc., in

addition to the HDMI cable.)

The synchronized operations below can be used when the receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected to a player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with HDMI function.

!When playback starts on the player or

recorder, the receiver’s input switches to the HDMI input to which that component is connected.

See the Pioneer website for the latest information on the models of non-Pioneer brands and products that support the Control with HDMI function.

Setting the PQLS function

PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio signal transfer control technology using the Control with HDMI 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 Bit-stream, PQLS always works for all sources.

!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.

Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your player for more information. This function is activated when Control is set to ON.

!If a listening mode other than

AUTO SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT,

PURE DIRECT, OPTIMUM SURR or STEREO is selected while the PQLS effect is enabled, the PQLS effect is disabled.

!When this receiver is connected by HDMI cable to a Pioneer player that is compatible with the PQLS function via HDMI connection and HDMI reauthentication is performed (the HDMI indicator blinks), the PQLS effect is enabled and the listening mode is set to AUTO SURROUND if a listening mode other than AUTO SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT, PURE DIRECT, OPTIMUM SURR or STEREO is selected.

%Press on the remote control, then press PQLS to select the PQLS setting.

The setting is displayed on the front panel display.

! 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.
