pioneer 3 series speaker? which model actually?
but still for RM5.5k i do think you could get much better offers at hifi shops

i dont know the exact bu there's only one type of speaker bundled together with 520/820.

i know quite expensive but the advantage here is 36 months 0% interest

as far as i know 36 month 0 interest is just for specific bank credit card, namely HSBC, mbf .

i think now got new series already. saw a htz-202 in harvey norman the other day.

so long nvr post already .... here it goes.

calling all Kuro sifus ... i notice after sometime watching astro with the black bar at the top and bottom, i can notice some very mild retention when the screen is blank i.e. no signal during channel change or in plain Input mode with no signal ...

i read around and it seems it is normal as long as during colour playback or picture movie - there is no line visible ...

it seems we can sort of undo this line by :

1. running plain static screen for 1 hour - read in some forum.

2. Kuro has one VIDEO Pattern option that runs 1 hour and OFF automatically after that.

practically this is to burnt the phos back evenly ..... any comments?

Added on August 23, 2010, 4:51 pmin another matter - is it better to set to OPTIMISE setting - cos i watch in a room and sometimes its bright and sometimes pitch black in the nite.

OPTIMISED seems to have automatic brightness control on the screen ...

but i read in the manual - AUTO Brightness setting is available on all other Setting except OPTIMISED but it only automatically controls the brightness of the image ...

hence i am abit confuse - which setting to use - Optimised or Standard with Auto brightness setting ON .. thanks a mil ...

cheap pioneer hdmi amp vsx 520 k for sale.. pm me...

for my 428xg,

its either i used anfieldude movie setting for astro or my own user setting. depend on content viewing.

seldom use standard or optimised...rather sometimes try it just to see how the picture look like.

anyway default contrast on standard and optimised is rather high..about 40 if i am not mistaken.

very good thread.. full of good info....

proud owner of krp600m.. bought from hn in march...

wow... u can still get a krp600m. is it a new set? which hn is it and how much is it?

Not a fan of Pioneer AVRs.

Calibrating in the ISF modes enables roughly 47ft/L with almost no clipping!

The Pure modes cannot go beyond 33 ft/L.

bought in march.. hn ikano.. it was the last 2 new sets they had at that time
23k without the bd player...

which avr do u think will best match the 600m?... tq

I use the Onkyo 876. All AVRs will match the 600M so don't worry. What speakers do u hv?

Hi guys...

Last 3 week my good friend just bought LX-83 after kena racun by ne....hehehee

he very happy with pioneer THX ultra....

ask him to try THX setting after 2 week he owned that amp....he come to me with big smile...really different...

racunnnnnnnnnnnnn..............

KAYROL have you tried to your LX-82....




p/s - do not ask me about price and where he bought that monster....

for music.. sonus faber gp
for ht.. bose 301 front, tannoy i5 surr, venturi v62clr ctr, audiopro b1.35 sub...

i'm more concern on the pq than audio..
between hqv reon and anchor bay.. will there be much of a difference?

There is difference, hqv reon does some things well, abt does some other things well.

I suppose u hv a dedicated 2 ch stereo amp to drive the sonus?
