Deep Colour Yes
Deep Colour ensures that all colour transitions and gradients are reproduced with the highest level of precision.
It enables increased contrast ratio, eliminates on-screen colour banding (for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colours) and can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.
So what you see is as natural and lifelike as possible. -
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).

HDMI Yes
HDMI - one connection for complete digital transfer of all signals.
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface and its purpose is to provide a single digital connection between one compatible product and another.
For example, a single digital connection between a compatible DVD recorder and A/V Receiver. Or a single digital connection between an A/V Receiver and plasma screen.
The benefit of HDMI is that it supports standard, enhanced and high definition signals via a single cable - there is no need for the signal to be converted from digital to analogue and back again. This means that no quality is lost in the straight-through digital HDMI connection, so you can enjoy the full quality of high definition entertainment. -
Put simply, KURO LINK means that you are able to control basic functions of compatible Pioneer Audio/Visual devices* (such as your Blu-ray player, amplifier or DVD recorder), with your KURO flat-screen TV remote control.
One remote for your full entertainment system.
KURO LINK is made possible via the single HDMI cable connection between your flat-screen TV and your other entertainment devices.
* Other brands of TV and home entertainment components also work with the KURO LINK function (here’s a list) -
iPod Ready Yes
-
HD Audio Formats Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
-
MCACC Yes (Advanced, 7-band)
MCACC stands for Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System.
It's an automatic sound field adjustment system that enables you to precision-tune your system to your living room, just like a sound professional, but with minimum effort.
A microphone monitors the sound environment and an equaliser (either 5 or 9-band, depending on which model of amplifier you have) optimally adjusts the sound parameters.
The result sounds like a professional recording engineer has fine-tuned your amplifier or home cinema system.
MCACC was created as a joint effort between ourselves and professional sound engineers at AIR Studios; it's unique to Pioneer, so you won't find it on any other products.

RDS Tuner (FM) Yes
This convenient function of RDS can switch the tuner automatically to a station on a network the moment it starts broadcasting your specified type of programming - even while you are listening to another source such. -
Power Consumption (in use / standby) 69W / 0.39W
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.
