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.
Tip
! The PQLS setting is set at PQLS in HDMI Setup on the HOME MENU, but the setting can also be switched
with the remote control, as described below.

face. This is valid as an HDMI function for PQLS-compatible players.
! PQLS OFF – PQLS is disabled.
