When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and
10 cm at each side).
WARNING
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the
product, and to protect it from overheating. To
prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be
blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers,
table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the
equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
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).
D3-4-2-2-2a_A_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. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

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
al using an HDMI cable.
• The PQLS function is activated when the player is set
