 About the HDMI high speed transmission
This player outputs 1080/60p and Deep Color video signals. If your
TV supports 1080/60p or Deep Color signals, use a High Speed
HDMI™ cable in order to take advantage of the maximum
performance the player and TV can offer. Also set HDMI High-
Speed Transmission to On (page 41).
High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up to 1080p.
1080/60i, 1080/60p, 1080/24p and 720/60p video signals that are
capable of Deep Color can also be carried.
Note
• Set HDMI High-Speed Transmission to Off when using an
HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI™ cable (a Standard
HDMI™ cable).
• The following restrictions apply when HDMI High-Speed
Transmission is set to Off:
– Deep Color signals are not output.
– If output video resolution is set to Auto, the signals are output
with a resolution of 1080/60i, even if the TV's preferred
resolution is 1080/60p.
– When the output video resolution is set to 480i or 480p, Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio signals are not output as
such. They are either output as Dolby Digital or DTS Digital
Surround signals or converted into linear PCM. Also, 96 kHz
and 192 kHz multi-channel linear PCM audio signals cannot
be output. They are output as 2-channel signals (page 50).
• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it
may not operate properly.
 About HDCP
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copyright
protection system by which digital video signals are encrypted.
 When connected to a DVI device
• It is not possible to connect DVI devices (computer displays,
for example) that are not compatible with HDCP.
• No audio signals are output. Connect using an audio cable
(included), etc.
• This player is designed for connection with HDMI-compatible
devices. When connected to a DVI device, it may not operate
properly depending on the DVI device.
 About HDMI Control function
• When the player is connected to a Pioneer Flat Panel TV or AV
system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.), supporting the HDMI
Control function, it can be operated from the Flat Panel TV or AV
system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.).
• The Flat Panel TV's input is switched automatically when
playback is started on the player or the Home Menu or the Home
Media Gallery is displayed. When the input is switched, the
playback picture, the Home Menu or the Home Media Gallery
appears on the Flat Panel TV (Auto-select function). If the Flat
Panel TV's power is being turned off at this time, it may turn on
automatically (Simultaneous power function). When the
language information from a connected Flat Panel TV is
received, you can have the player's on-screen display language
change automatically to that of the Flat Panel TV (Unified
language function). This function is available only when
playback is stopped and the menu screen is not displayed.
• Also refer to the operating instructions of the Flat Panel TV or AV
system (AV receiver or amplifier, etc.).
 To use the HDMI Control function
• The HDMI Control function only works when outputting video
signals from the HDMI terminal.
• The HDMI Control function operates when HDMI Control is set
to On for all devices connected with HDMI cables. Once
connections and the settings of all the devices are finished, be
sure to check that the player's picture is output to the Flat Panel
TV. (Also check after changing the connected devices and
reconnecting HDMI cables.) The HDMI Control function may not
operate properly if the player's picture is not properly output to
the Flat Panel TV.
• Use High Speed HDMI™ cables when using the HDMI Control
function. The HDMI Control function may not operate properly if
other HDMI cables are used.
• The function name of KURO LINK used on the web and in
catalogues is referred to as HDMI Control in the operating
instructions and on the product.
 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 activated when the player is set as follows
(page 41):
HDMI Control: On
PQLS: Auto
• Also refer to the operating instructions of AV receiver or
amplifier.
