Put
simply, HD Digital Film Direct means âMaster Qualityâ: what you see and
hear on your flat-screen is exactly as the film-makers intended.
Absolutely true to the original.
Weâve 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 âtrue to the originalâ 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).
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.

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.
x.v.Colour (also known as xvYCC or Extended-gamut YCC) is a colour space
that supports 1.8 times as many colours as the legacy colour space.
The result is that â on a compatible screen - you see greens, reds and blues far deeper than previously possible.
The HDMI Repeater feature makes a single HDMI cable sufficient to transfer both HD video and audio digitally to the receiver.
