The Malaysia Model of KRP500A is without the Pure Mode... unlike the EU and US model. It also didnot includes the KRP-SE01 colour sensor as part of the accessory.

astro HD content - using bumptiosavsforum@d65 hdmi settings @ movie
opinion : natural skin tone, best with darkened room viewing.

astro SD content - using mix match setting @ user
still tinkering

minus 1 hdmi input.

thanks bro ronaldjoe..

No worries, bro. You can still use ISF calibration to get the job done

If you guys are game for a little DIY calibration, I can share the settings that I managed to get on this thread.

Not sure how useful the color sensor is but it is something I can live without la

please add me into the 428xg's owner group, thanks.

btw now they have astro byond, need to calibrate again?

I still not calibrated my Kuro 500 yet, currently using the MOVIE Mode only for all viewing, care to share your DIY calibration?
How do U use ISF calibration?

I've got a set of Calman Enhanced Spyder 3 sensor and software package but yet to try it on my KRP500A.

For the moment I've only adjusted the greyscale toning.

Dude, I've added you on the owners list

Btw- please share your thoughts/experience withe the Calman Enhanced Spyder 3 and if possible the difference between Calman over ColorVision's Spyder 3

Anyone have any tips on cleaning the Kuro bezel?

I recently did some renovation at my TV console and the contractor decided to help me clean it. I think he probably used sand paper. Aiya.. also there's some residue of some kind of chemical stain. Too bad. I've tried Acrylic cleaner, car polish, glass cleaner and even Turtle Car Wax. Can't get it all off, but I did manage to reduce it.

Most helpful would be the Car Wax. Don't use Glass Cleaner as apparently the ammonia or something there will corrode your bezel. If your bezel is really damaged, apparently some customers in the UK have been able to get a replacement bezel.

Just be careful and don't let anyone clean your baby except you!

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this. Mind posting a picture of the bezel?

takde 508XG owners here?

err.. what is KURO??

Bro, if you own one let me know and you'll be the first in the thread

It's also the name for Pioneer's range of PDPs

Hi everybody,

Welcome to the family!

yeah, proud to join the family.
still twisting and tweaking though. no no not really twisting anything, just tweaking setup only. still looking for the best setting coz i know it can be a lot better. dont really know how to call for pro setup.
hopefully we can share experience here. learn a few things already.
