Ermm..... might wanna break it in first?

this break in, is it like some might say burn in?
coz if so, mine could take about 2 to 3 month i guess. as per now i watch mine about 3 to 4 hours a nite.

I ran 100 continuous hours on mine using a set of colour slides. The panel was mighty warm but I reckon it was good for the internal components to soak in.

Added on March 9, 2010, 2:51 amSure will post some findings once I get it working, no worries. But won't be able to tell you the differences between the Calman calibrated Spyder 3 and that of ColorVision since I do not have one to compare with. If memory serves me right there has been extensive discussions about the two on CurtPalme.

hmm isn it better the calibration is done by a pro? i.e anfieldude..hehe

yay! there's a small kurokuro family here ...

okay .. for 508XG owners or other kuro owners ....

508 only have 2 HDMI port contrary to the 3 HDMI port behind ...

meaning ... Port 1,2 and 3 is RCA based (Yellow, Red and White)

Port 4 and 5 is HDMI - and Port 6 is RCA based again (Y,R and W)

funny thing is .. there is actually 3 HDMI port ....

there was a time, where i thought my HDMI Port 3 already kaput or spoilt, but the port 3 has another RCA port nearby ....

so confirm only 2 HDMI .... one for my BDP and one for Astro ...

my port 3 - RCA i use for my older DVD player ... so the HDMI port 3 is actually a dummy ...

have another Philips BDP mah ... btw - do u guys use Pioneer BDP?

netken,

If there are physically 3 HDMI ports (like the 428XG) all 3 ports can be used. U need to enable it in the home menu.

The Ms are just monitors with no tuners and only 2 HDMI inputs. The As have an external tuner and have more inputs.

The M is supposed to calibrate better...however, I have no proof of that.

The A in Asian Region does not have the Pure mode whereas the M does.

BDP-LX52, my BD buddy

Man, I sure like those little awards next to them TVs. Ermmm.... no clue what they mean though

the word just under kuro lineup is plasma tv (A) and under it is plasma monitor (M)...

to japanese, tv equals plus tuners, monitors no tuners...but then their tv is really different. tuners,lan, etc ...

thanks AFD - i've tried to check under Home but can't seem to find it ... can anyone help me specifically pls?

Meaning that M are monitors so they just can receive direct input from source like HDMI, and A's are equipped with tuners to tune channels like RTM1, RTM2 from the general antenna?

p/s : i still haven't compare the chris botti live in boston and with friends yet - owe u first ...

and also the calibration tips u gave me last time, i got lost too course some fields were not available in the 508XG ... : ( as below :

Can someone tell me,
how can I know when my Panel and Receiver were manufactured?
Is there a sticker some where on the box or the equipment?

Formalin,

For that you'll probably need to know how to decipher the serial numbers

Btw - a question posed to you from a different thread, have you decided on the HTP-LX70? Can your BD-320 play pirated $10 DVD9 discs?

Dude, try this:

1) From remote control, press Input 3 button (top row). Input 3-4-5 are HDMI.
2) When you are in Input 3, press HOME MENU.
3) Choose Option
4) Choose HDMI Input
5) Choose Setting=ENABLE, Signal Type = VIDEO, video=AUTO, Audio=AUTO.

It should work.
