Pioneer Aficionados,

Previously named KURO Kakis, this thread has been revamped to include all Pioneer AV products. The idea is to consolidate all our knowledge under one roof without the need to scout for a relevant thread. All current owners will be listed to enable you to send a query directly via PM or start a discussion in this forum. Feel free to take sometime to read through this thread or share a thing or two thumbup.gif

Please PM or drop me a line on your Pioneer AV model/username to be added to this list thumbup.gif

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

astro HD content - using bumptiosavsforum@d65 hdmi settings @ movie

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

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 rolleyes.gif

Good read http://www.avforums.com/reviews/Pioneer-KRP-500A-Review.html

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.

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!
