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 receiver to achieve high
sound quality playback using the receiver’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
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 receiver supporting the PQLS
functions is connected directly to the HDMI
OUT terminal with an HDMI cable and the
player’s settings are set as shown below
(page 41).
Control: On
Also refer to the AV receiver’s operating
instructions.
See the Pioneer website for AV receivers
supporting the PQLS function.
Caution
Turn on the power of the AV receiver
connected to the HDMI OUT terminal, then start
playback of the disc.

Do not place the player on top of a TV or color
monitor. Keep it away from cassette decks or
other components easily affected by magnetism.
Avoid the following types of places:
Places exposed to direct sunlight
Humid or poorly ventilated places
Extremely hot or cold places
Places subject to vibration
Places in which there is much dust or cigarette
smoke
Places exposed to soot, steam or heat (in
kitchens, etc.)
Do not place objects on top
Do not place objects on top of the player.
Do not obstruct the ventilation
holes
Do not use the player on a shaggy rug, bed, or
sofa, and do not cover the player with a cloth, etc.
Doing so will prevent heat dissipation and could
lead to damage.
Keep away from heat
Do not place the player on top of an amplifier or
other device generating heat. When installing in a
rack, to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier
and other devices, place it on a shelf below the
amplifier whenever possible.
Turn the power off when
not using the player
Depending on the conditions of the TV broadcast
signals, striped patterns may appear on the screen
when the TV is turned on while the player’s power
is turned on. This is not a malfunction with the
player or TV. If this happens, turn the player’s
power off. In the same way, noise may be heard in
the sound of a radio.
Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place
into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the
temperature in the room in which the player is
installed rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water
droplets (condensation) may form inside (on
operating parts and the lens). When condensation
is present, the player will not operate properly and
playback is not possible. Let the player stand at
room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power
turned on (the time depends on the extent of
condensation). The water droplets will dissipate
and playback will become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the
player is exposed to the direct wind from an air-
conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a
different place.
Cleaning the player
Normally, wipe the player with a soft cloth. For
tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in
5 to 6 parts water to a soft cloth, wring out
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with
a dry cloth.
Note that getting alcohol, thinner, benzene or
insecticide on the player could cause the print and
coating to peel off. Also, avoid leaving rubber or
vinyl products in contact with the player for long
periods of time, as this could damage the cabinet.
When using chemical-impregnated wipes, etc.,
read the wipe’s cautions carefully.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet
when cleaning the player.
Caution for when the unit is
installed in a rack with a
glass door
Do not press the ; OPEN/CLOSE on the remote
control to open the disc tray while the glass door
is closed. The door will hamper the movement of
the disc tray, and the unit could be damaged.

Cleaning the pickup lens
The player’s lens should not become dirty in
normal use, but if for some reason it should
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your
nearest Pioneer authorized service center.
Although lens cleaners for players are
commercially available, we advise against using
them since some may damage the lens.
Handling discs
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get
dirty.
Do not load more than one disc into the player at
a time.
Do not glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or
use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped
writing instrument. These could all damage the
disc.
Storing discs
Always store discs in their cases, and place the
cases vertically, avoiding places exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, direct sunlight or
extremely low temperatures.
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.
Cleaning discs
It may not be possible to play the disc if there are
fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a
cleaning cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from
the center toward the outer edge. Do not use a
dirty cleaning cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile
chemicals. Also do not use record spray or
antistatic agents.
For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth,
wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe
off the moisture with a dry cloth.
Specially shaped discs
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal,
etc.) cannot be used on this player. Never use such
discs, as they will damage the player.
Condensation on discs
If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into
a warm room (in winter, for example), water
droplets (condensation) may form on the disc
surface. Discs will not play properly if there is
condensation on them. Carefully wipe off the
water droplets from the disc surface before using
the disc.
