08 Control with HDMI function
Stream Smoother Link
Using the Control with HDMI function, the
receiver automatically detects whether a com-
pressed video file is being played on the player,
and if so automatically activates the Stream
Smoother function.
To activate the Stream Smoother Link function,
make the setting below.
1 Set the HDMI Setup’s Control to ON,
and set the Control Mode setting to ALL.
See HDMI Setup on page 54.
2 Set the STREAM (Stream Smoother)
setting to AUTO.
See Setting the Video options on page 59.
Cautions on the Control with
HDMI function
! Connect the TV directly to this receiver.
Interrupting a direct connection with other
amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI
switch) can cause operational errors.
! Only connect components (Blu-ray Disc
player, etc.) you intend to use as a source to
the HDMI input of this receiver. Interrupting
a direct connection with other amps or an
AV converter (such as an HDMI switch) can
cause operational errors.
! When Control is set to ON, HDMI Input
in The Input Setup menu on page 36 is
automatically set to OFF.
! When the receiver’s Control is turned ON,
even if the receiver’s power is in the standby
mode, it is possible to output the audio and
video signals from a player via HDMI to
the TV without producing sound from the
receiver, but only when a Control with HDMI-
compatible component (Blu-ray Disc player,
etc.) and compatible TV are connected. In this
case, the receiver’s power turns on and the
HDMI indicator lights.
Setting the PQLS function
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a
digital audio signal transfer control technology
using the Control with HDMI function. It offers
higher-quality audio playback by controlling
audio signals from the receiver to a PQLS com-
patible player, etc. This enables removing jitter
that has a negative effect on the quality of the
sound and is generated upon transmission.
! On players compatible with PQLS Bit-stream,
PQLS always works for all sources.
! On players compatible with PQLS Multi
Surround, PQLS works for all sources. Set the
player’s audio output to Linear PCM.
! On players compatible with PQLS 2 ch Audio,
PQLS only works when playing CDs.
Please refer to the operating instructions sup-
plied with your player for more information.
This function is activated when Control is set
to ON.
! If a listening mode other than
AUTO SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT,
PURE DIRECT, OPTIMUM SURR or STEREO is
selected while the PQLS effect is enabled, the
PQLS effect is disabled.
! When this receiver is connected by HDMI
cable to a Pioneer player that is compatible
with the PQLS function via HDMI connection
and HDMI reauthentication is performed
(the HDMI indicator blinks), the PQLS effect
is enabled and the listening mode is set to
AUTO SURROUND if a listening mode other
than AUTO SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT,
PURE DIRECT, OPTIMUM SURR or STEREO is
selected.
% Set the remote control to the receiver
operation mode, then press PQLS to select
the PQLS setting.
The setting is displayed on the front panel
display.
! PQLS AUTO – PQLS is enabled. A precision
quartz controller in this receiver eliminates
distortion caused by timing errors (jitter),
giving you the best possible digital-to-analog
conversion when you use the HDMI interface.
This is valid as an HDMI function for PQLS-
compatible players.
! PQLS OFF – PQLS is disabled.
