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 46).
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.
NOTE
The PQLS indicator on the player’s front panel lights when
the PQLS function is activated (page 13).
