cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push
objects of any kind into this product through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this
product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
[For U.S. model]

by a qualified technician to restore the product
to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for
service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

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/Super VCD 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.

Noise Shaped Video (NSV)
*5
Noise Shaped Video processing makes it
possible to display video images at higher
resolutions than would otherwise be possible
using the same video data converter. This is
achieved using the digital processing
techniques of oversampling (to reduce high-
frequency aliasing), and multi-bit Sigma-
Delta processing (to reduce quantization
noise).
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.
