Disc Precautions
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust
BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints •
and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able
to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them
in a safe place.
Proper Disc Storage
Place the disc in the center of the
disc case and store the case and
disc upright.
Avoid storing discs in locations
subject to direct sunlight, close to
heating appliances or in locations of
high humidity.
Do not drop discs or subject them to
strong vibrations or impacts.
Avoid storing discs in locations
where there are large amounts of
dust or moisture.
Handling Precautions
If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water •
only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from
the center hole toward the outer edge.
Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static •
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
Do not touch the surface.•
Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc. •
If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the •
Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject
the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly.
Cleaning the Pick Up Lens
Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use •
of these discs can damage the lens.
Request the nearest service center approved by Pioneer to •
clean the lens.
Warnings about dew formation
Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the •
following conditions:
Immediately after a heater has been turned on. –
In a steamy or very humid room. –
When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold –
environment to a warm one.
When condensation forms:
It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals •
on the disc and prevents the Player from operating
properly.
To remove condensation:
Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power •
off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player
when there is condensation may cause malfunction.

Cables when using the control
About the PQLS function
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio
transfer control technology using the HDMI control function.
The player’s output signals are controlled from the AV
amplifier to achieve high sound quality playback using the
amplifier’s quartz oscillator. This eliminates the influence of
the jitter generated during signal transfer which can adversely
affect the sound quality.
This player supports the functions below.•
The “PQLS 2ch Audio” function that is only activated –
when playing music CDs (CD-DAs)
The “PQLS Multi Surround” function that is activated –
when playing all discs (BDs, DVDs, etc.) with linear PCM
audio output
The “PQLS Bitstream” function that is activated when –
playing with bitstream audio output
The various PQLS functions are activated when a Pioneer •
AV amplifier supporting the PQLS functions is connected
directly to the HDMI OUT terminal with an HDMI cable and
the main unit settings are set as shown below (page 21).
Control function with HDMI: On
HDMI audio output: PCM (PQLS multi-surround only)
Also refer to the AV amplifier’s operating instructions.•
See the Pioneer website for AV amplifiers supporting the •
PQLS function.
CAUTION
The PQLS function may stop working when the video •
output resolution is switched. The PQLS function will start
working again once playback is stopped then restarted.
When the PQLS 2ch function is activated, the output from •
the player’s VIDEO OUTPUT jacks may not have the proper
colors. If this happens, connect the TV and AV amplifier’s
HDMI terminals or the TV and player’s COMPONENT
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to view the picture.
Turn on the power of the AV amplifier connected to the •
HDMI OUT terminal, then start playback of the disc.
NOTE
The PQLS indicator on the player’s front panel lights when •
the PQLS function is activated (page 7).

Enjoying BONUSVIEW or BD-LIVE
BD VIDEO
This Player is compatible with BD-Video BONUSVIEW
and BD-LIVE.
When using BD-Video discs compatible with
BONUSVIEW, you can enjoy such functions as
secondary video (picture in picture) and secondary
audio. With BD-Video discs supporting BD-LIVE,
special video images and other data can be
downloaded from the Internet.
Data recorded on BD video and downloaded from BDLIVE is stored on the USB memory device (external
memory). To enjoy these functions, connect a USB
memory device (minimum 1 GB capacity, 2 GB or
greater recommended) supporting USB 2.0 High
Speed (480 Mbit/s) to the USB port on this Player’s
rear panel. For connections when using a wireless
LAN adaptor, see “Connecting to the LAN (10/100)
terminal” (page 11). Also, during BD-LIVE operations,
do not connect a USB memory device to the USB port
on this Player’s front panel.
When you insert or remove a USB memory device, be sure •
to turn the main power off.
To recall data stored in the USB memory device, first insert •
the disc media that was being used at the time the data
was downloaded (if a different disc is loaded, the data
stored on the USB memory device cannot be played).
If a USB memory device containing other data (previously •
recorded) is used, the video and audio may not play back
properly.
If the USB memory device is disconnected from this player •
during playback, playback of the disc will stop. Do not
disconnect the USB memory device while playback is in
progress.
Some time may be required for the data to load (read/•
write).
CAUTION
It may not be possible to use the BONUSVIEW and •
BD-LIVE functions if there is insufficient space on the
USB memory device. In this case, refer to “USB Memory
Management” on page 24 for erasing the Virtual Package
data and the BD-LIVE data in the USB memory device.
NOTE
Operation of USB memory devices is not guaranteed.•
Playback of BD-LIVE function data differs depending on •
the disc used. For details, consult the user instructions
supplied with the disc.
To enjoy the BD-LIVE function, a network connection and •
settings are required (pages 11 and 22).
For conditions and restrictions regarding Internet •
connections using the BD-LIVE function, see the section
“BD Internet Access” (page 22).
BD-LIVE is a function that provides for automatic •
connection to the Internet. Discs supporting the BD-LIVE
function may send ID codes identifying this player and the
disc to the contents provider via the Internet.
The unit can be set to prevent automatic connection to the •
Internet. For instructions on this setting, see the section
“BD Internet Access” (page 22).
When USB memory devices are connected to both the •
USB ports on the player’s front and rear panels, the device
that was connected first is used for the BONUSVIEW and
BD-LIVE functions, while the device that was connected
last is used for file playback and software updating.

BD-Video that includes secondary audio and video
compatible with Picture in Picture can be played back
