KURO LINK

Setting the PQLS function

PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio signal transfer control technology using the KURO LINK 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 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.

To use the PQLS function, set PQLS in the player’s Setup Navigator to AUTO.

Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your player for more information.

This function is activated when KURO LINK is set to ON.
