Cautions on the KURO LINK function

• Connect the TV directly to this receiver.
Interrupting a direct connection with other
amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI
switch) can cause operational errors.
• Only connect components (Blu-ray disc
player, etc.) you intend to use as a source
to the HDMI input of this receiver.
Interrupting a direct connection with other
amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI
switch) can cause operational errors.
•When KURO LINK is set to ON, HDMI
Input is automatically set to OFF.
• If a listening mode other than AUTO
SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT, PURE DIRECT
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 a CD is played or 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 or STEREO is
selected.
• When the receiver’s KURO LINK is turned
ON, even if the receiver’s power is in the
standby mode, it is possible to output the
audio and video signals from a player via
HDMI to the TV without producing sound
from the receiver, but only when a KURO
LINK-compatible component (Blu-ray disc
player, etc.) and compatible TV are
connected. In this case, the receiver’s
power turns on and the power and HDMI
indicators light.

About connections with a product of

a different brand that supports the

KURO LINK function

The synchronized operations below can be
used when the receiver’s KURO LINK function
is connected to a TV of a brand other than
Pioneer that supports the KURO LINK
function. (Depending on the TV, however,
some of the KURO LINK functions may not
work.)
• You can set whether to output the sound
over the speakers connected to the
receiver or over the TV’s speakers using the
TV’s menu screen.
• You can adjust the receiver’s volume or
mute the sound using the TV’s remote
control.
• 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. (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 KURO LINK function
is connected to a player or recorder of a brand
other than Pioneer that supports the KURO
LINK 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 KURO
LINK function.
