Before you start

Features

BD-ROM playback

Blu-ray Disc is a next-generation video disc format featuring far

higher disc capacity than conventional DVD. The higher capacity

makes a whole range of new and enhanced features possible, such

as support for high-definition video up to 1920 x 1080 pixels, high

quality, surround sound audio, greater interactivity and richer

content.

BD-ROM discs are commercially produced discs (Video Distribution

format) that can contain movie and other video content, interactive

content, enhanced menu features such as pop-up menus (press

POPUP MENU/MENU during playback for these), full-color,

high-definition animated buttons and animated menu transition

effects, button sounds (sounds are played when menu buttons are

selected or activated), high-definition bitmap subtitles supporting

full-color images with frame-accurate animation effects up to full

video frame rate, and so on.

While BD capacity is enough for most applications, the BD-ROM

standard allows for content to be spread across several discs,

removing the limit of one physical disc. Follow the on-screen

instructions during playback when using these special kinds of

discs.

BD-J application

The BD-ROM specification supports Java for interactive content.

The Java specification for BD-ROM is known as BD-J. This allows

content providers to put games and other interactive material linked

to specific titles on to BD-ROM discs. (This player does not support

downloadable BD-J content, direct connection to the Internet or the

retrieval of content through the Internet.)

Connect to a local area network

Connect this player to one or more computers in your house via

Ethernet and use them as media servers, streaming audio, video

and still image files for playback on your TV and/or audio system.

HDMI 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, all using one interface. You can easily connect to an

HDMI-equipped AV receiver or audio-visual device for high quality

audio and video.

HDMI Control

By connecting this unit to a Pioneer plasma display or AV system

(amplifier or AV receiver etc.) with an HDMI cable, you can control

this unit from the connected plasma display, as well as have the

connected plasma display or AV system automatically change

inputs in response to this unit starting playback or having the GUI

screen (ex. Disc Navigator) displayed (known as the Auto-select

function). The connected plasma display can thereby have its power

turned from off to on by this function.

You can also have this unit turn on automatically when you control

this unit from a connected plasma display that is turned on

(Simultaneous power function).

Additionally, when the language information from a connected

plasma display is received, you can have this unit’s on-screen

display language change automatically to that of the plasma display

(only when playback is stopped and GUI screen is not displayed).

Refer to your plasma display’s operating manual for more

information regarding how your plasma display transmits language

information.

For more information about which operations can be carried out by

connecting via HDMI cable, refer to the operating manual for your

plasma display or AV system.

PureCinema

When you playback film material (24 frames/second) on a BD-ROM

or DVD-Video disc, the progressive scan line automatically converts

the film material to optimum quality (see PureCinema on page 39).

1080/60p and 1080/24p output video

This player supports a variety of output video resolutions, up to

1080 lines/60 frames per second, progressive (HDMI only), making

it ideal for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs.
