The profile allows you to download up-to-date content to add to the movie, from refreshed trailers to exclusive special features.
KURO LINK Yes
HD Digital Film Direct 24 (+) Yes
Put simply, HD Digital Film Direct means “Master Quality”: what you see and hear on your flat-screen is exactly as the film-makers intended. Absolutely true to the original.
We’ve applied this standard as a label (see the logo on the right) to those of our products that accurately handle 24fps (frames per second) movie content; this will help you make the right product choice for the true HD movie experience.
Films are typically shot, developed and encoded for cinema reproduction at 24fps.
Regular PAL broadcasting and DVD have always played these images back at 25 fps (50Hz).
This has the effect of speeding up images and raising the pitch of sounds and voices.
But, the new high definition discs, like Blu-ray Disc, offer you access to a digitised ”true to the original” copy of the theatrical movie content.
We offer a product range that is perfectly matched for bringing the real cinema experience into your home: amplifiers, Blu-ray Disc players, home cinema systems and flat-screen TVs with our trademark screening of 24fps source input at 72Hz (3 images displayed per original frame).
High Definition JPEG Playback (+) Yes
Traditionally, your digital photo (or JPEG) files could only be displayed at the standard DVD resolution when you played them on your DVD player.
However, the scaling abilities of our new players ensure that your photo's can now be shown in outstanding high definition detail.
Video Signal D/A Converter (+) 297MHz / 12-bit (High Definition)
216MHz / 12-bit (Standard Definition)
Conversion of digital 8-bit DVD-Video data to analogue data can degrade Y (luminance) and C (chrominance) colour signals, distorting picture colour on playback. How do Pioneer DVD players overcome this problem to unleash more magnificent brilliance, depth, and detail in every colour?
Pioneer D/A conversion upgrades 8-bit Y/C signal data to 12-bit or 10-bit data to maintain data integrity and reproduce images that are truer to the DVD source.
Dimensions (W x H x D) 420 x 143 x 365 mm
Weight 13,8 kg
Power Consumption (in use/standby) (+) 59W / 0,3 W
Caring for the environment is important. It's why we are a Sustainable Energy Partner of the European Commission.
What this means is that we've committed to reduce power consumption in standby modes. The less energy we consume, the better for the environment.

Digital Audio Output Dolby Digital, DTS, Linear PCM, MPEG-2 AAC
PQLS with HDMI (+) Yes
The PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a transfer control technology using the KURO LINK function.
The player’s output signals are controlled by the AV receiver to achieve high quality sound playback from a CD using the quartz oscillator of the AV receiver. This eliminates the influence of the jitter generated upon transfer which can adversely affect the sound quality.

• Chroma Level: Adjusts how saturated colors appear (-9 to +9)
Super Fine Focus Digital Filter Yes
Noise Reduction (+) Component Frame Digital Noise
Mosquito and Block Noise
Component Frame Digital Noise
Component Frame Digital Noise effectively removes ‘White Gaussian Noise’ by comparing film frames, distinguishing differences and removing the noise.
Gaussian Noise is white noise with a constant spectral (or ghostly appearance).
Block Noise
This feature reduces the block noise. Block Noise is a block-shaped distortion generated upon MPEG compression.
Pixel Scaler Yes
Deep Colour 48-Bit (except 1080p/50 and 1080p/60 output)
