Features
HDMI
*1
digital interface
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) interconnect provides high quality
digital audio and video, all from a single user-
friendly connector. HDMI is the first
consumer electronics interface to support
uncompressed standard, enhanced, or high-
definition video plus standard to multi-
channel surround sound audio
*2
, all using
one interface. You can easily connect to a
HDMI-equipped AV receiver or audiovisual
device for high quality audio and video, and
communication between the video source
and (DTV) players, set-top boxes, and other
audiovisual devices is also supported.
i.LINK
*3
digital interface
The i.LINK interface makes it possible to
connect this player to an i.LINK-equipped AV
receiver with a single cable and enjoy high
sampling rate (up to 192kHz) PCM
multichannel digital audio from DVD-Audio
and SACD discs, as well as digital audio from
DVD-Video, CD, Video CD and MP3 discs.
In addition to simplified connection, jitterless
audio is possible with Pioneer’s PQLS
(Precision Quartz Lock System) technology
when playing CDs, SACDs and DVD-Audio
discs.
Other advantages of using i.LINK include
‘smart’ features such as automatic
configuration and automatic function
selection—start playback of a disc and the
receiver automatically changes the input
function to this player.

Pure Audio listening
The Pure Audio feature allows you to listen to
analog audio sources with the video and
digital outputs disabled, and the front panel
display switched off. This is particularly useful
when listening to high-quality audio formats
such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD.
DVD-Audio and SACD compatible
Experience the super high-quality audio
performance of DVD-Audio and Super Audio
CD (SACD).
The on-board 24-bit/192kHz DAC means that
this player is fully compatible with high
sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering
exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic
range, low-level resolution and high-
frequency detail.
In addition, with SACD playback, you can
select which part of the disc you want to hear
(stereo audio, multi-channel audio and, for
hybrid SACDs, standard CD audio) with the
simple press of a button on the front panel.
