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 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 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).
