HDMI (+) Yes, scaling to 1080p
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.

KURO LINK (+) Yes
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)
USB (+) Yes
If you connect a USB memory stick to your home cinema system, you can either play music or look at JPEG images with the JPEG Picture Viewer.

CD -> USB Recording (+) Yes
The CD -> USB recorder feature is an MP3 creator (MP3 encoder). The tracks of audio CDs loaded in the player can be ripped on a USB device connected to the USB port.

Simply select the CD tracks you want, choose the quality for conversion to MP3 format and the DVD player will record everything onto your USB stick.
MCACC (+) Yes (Advanced)
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.
