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.
• Connect the player directly to the Pioneer AV
receiver compatible with PQLS function.
Interrupting a direct connection with an
amplifier or AV converter (such as an HDMI
switch) can cause malfunction.

Additional information
Cautions on use
Moving the player
If you need to move this unit, first remove the disc
if there’s one loaded, and close the disc tray. Next,
press ^ STANDBY/ON to switch the power to
standby, checking that the POWER OFF indication
on the front panel display goes off. Wait at least 10
seconds. Lastly, disconnect the power cord.
Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs
rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
Place of installation
Select a stable place near the TV and AV system to
which the unit is connected.
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.

En
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.

Dolby Vision is one of the High Dynamic Range (HDR)
technologies. This imaging technology expands the
dynamic range of images, and improve the contrast and
color representation capability by having meta data such
as brightness information for each scene.
❖ DRM
A technology for protecting copyrighted digital data.
Digitized videos, images and audio retain the same
quality even when they are copied or transferred
repeatedly. DRM is a technology for restricting the
distribution or playback of such digital data without the
authorization of the copyright holder.
❖ DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
The Digital Audio encoding system found on SACDs, that
expresses the audio signals by the pulse density of one bit
data.
❖ DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is an audio format to record 48
kHz/24 bits audio signals in 5.1 channels.
❖ DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an audio format using
lossy coding. It can record 7.1 channels at 96 kHz/24 bits.
❖ DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is an audio format using lossless
coding. With BD-ROMs, 7.1 channels can be recorded at
96 kHz/24 bits, or 5.1 channels at 192 kHz/24 bits.
❖ Ethernet
A standard for local area networks (LANs) used to
connect multiple computers, etc. in the same location.
This player supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/
1000BASE-T.
❖ Frames and fields
A frame is the unit for one of the still pictures which
compose motion pictures. One frame consists of a picture
of odd lines and a picture of even lines called fields in
video signal with interlaced scan method (1080i, etc.).
❖ HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface)
See page 16.
❖ HDR
HDR is an abbreviation for High Dynamic Range.
Compared to the conventional SDR (Standard Dynamic
Range), this technology expands the dynamic range of
images by expanding the brightness information of
images. This product supports two types of HDR
methods, which are HDR10 and Dolby Vision.
❖ HEVC (H.265/HEVC)
HEVC is an abbreviation for High Efficiency Video
Coding. This is one of the compression standards for
motion pictures. The compression efficiency of HEVC is
better than that of MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC (H.264).

❖ Interactive audio
The audio signals recorded in the titles of BD-ROMs. They
include for example the clicking sound made when the
menu screen is operated.
❖ Interlaced scan
With this method, one picture is displayed by scanning it
twice. The odd lines are displayed in the first pass, the
even lines are displayed in the second, to form a single
picture (frame). Interlaced scan is indicated in this player
and operating instructions by an “i” after the resolution
value (for example, 1080i).
❖ IP address
An address that identifies a computer or other device
connected to the Internet or local area network. It is
represented a number in four sections.
❖ Linear PCM
This is referred as the audio signals that are not
compressed.
❖ MAC (Media Access Control) address
A hardware identification number assigned specifically to
the network device (LAN card, etc.).
❖ MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
The name of a family of standards used to encode video
and audio signals in a digital compressed format. The
video encoding standards include MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-
2 Video, MPEG-4 Visual, MPEG-4 AVC, etc. The audio
encoding standards include MPEG-1 Audio, MPEG-2
Audio, MPEG-2 AAC, etc.
❖ Multi-session
Multi-session/multi-border recording is a method of
recording two or more sessions/borders on a single disc.
When recording data on a disc, the unit comprising the
data from the beginning to the end of that instance of
recording is called a session or border.
❖ Parental Lock
See page 45.
❖ Picture-in-Picture (P-in-P)
This is a function for superimposing a sub video on the
main video. Some BD-ROMs include secondary video,
which can be superimposed on the primary video.
❖ Port number
This is a sub-address provided below the IP address for
simultaneously connecting to multiple parties during
Internet communications.
❖ Progressive scan
With this method, one picture is consisted of a single
picture, without dividing it in two pictures. Progressive
scan provides clear pictures with no flicker, in particular
for still pictures that contain much text, graphics, or
horizontal lines. Progressive scan is indicated in this
player and operating instructions by a “p” after the
resolution value (for example, 576p).
❖ Proxy server
This is a relay server for ensuring fast access and safe
communications when connecting to the Internet from an
internal network.
❖ Region number
See page 9.
❖ Secondary audio
Some BD-ROMs include sub audio streams mixed with
the main audio stream. These sub audio streams are
called “secondary audio”. On some discs this secondary
audio is recorded as the audio for the secondary video.
❖ Secondary video
Some BD-ROMs include sub videos superimposed on the
main videos using the Picture-in-Picture function. These
sub videos are called “secondary video”.
❖ Subnet mask
This is used to identify which part of the IP address
corresponds to the subnet (a separately managed
network). The subnet mask is expressed as
‘255.255.255.0’.
❖ USB (Universal Serial Bus)
USB is the industry standard for connecting peripherals
to PCs.
❖ VC-1
A video codec developed by Microsoft and standardized
