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 (

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.
The Advanced Sound Retriever function enhances compressed music formats,
such as MP3, WMA or AAC and restores the music dynamics and harmonics
to CD-sound quality.
The benefit is that you can enjoy your digital music enhanced to near CD quality.
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.
