CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,
make sure the unit has been installed so that the
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,
the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time
(for example, when on vacation).

Wash hands after handling
This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes
(such as long-term use for business purposes in a
restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which
requires repair will be charged for even during the
warranty period.
K041_En
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged,
contact the Pioneer service center on the back cover, or
your dealer for a replacement.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
@Start your volume control at a low setting.
@Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
@Set the dial and leave it there.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Since hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

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 39).
High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up
to 1080p. 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p 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 the output video resolution is set to Auto, the
signals are output with a resolution of 1080/60i
when 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
audio signals are output as Dolby Digital, DTS
Digital Surround or linear PCM signals. 96 kHz or
192 kHz multi-channel audio signals are output as
linear PCM 2-channel audio signals (page 47).
• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is
connected, it may not operate properly.
When connected to a DVI device
• It is not possible to connect DVI devices
(computer displays, for example) that are not
compatible with HDCP. HDCP is a specification to
protect audiovisual content across the DVI/HDMI
interface.
• No audio signals are output. Connect using an audio
cable, 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 PQLS function
The PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a transfer
control technology using the KURO LINK 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.
•This player supports the “PQLS 2ch Audio” that is only
activated when playing an audio CD (CD-DA).
• The PQLS function is only activated when a Pioneer
AV receiver or amplifier compatible with the “PQLS
2ch Audio” function is connected directly to the
player’s HDMI OUT termin
•
The PQLS function is activated when the player is set
as follows (page 39):
