Well, my memory apparently failed us. Pulling the plug on R&D is under consideration: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nb20121218a4.html

I have read conflicting news concerning Panasonic pulling its plasma line. The following link is from July of 2012, so at least at that point the plasma line still looked promising to Panasonic:

"Even Panasonic's LCD numbers fell about 30% short of expectations, and the size of the TV market has been shrinking from a peak of 35 million sets sold in 2009, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. There's clearly a general cooling of the TV market in general."

You just proved my point...there are conflicting reports concerning the future of Panasonic's plasma line. FWIW, the article you cite was in May and the article I posted was in July, so I conclude plasma is still doing great! biggrin.gif

I'm just trying to be of service not engage in a "you proved your point" p**sing contest. You win. You're right. I really don't care if sales are down or up or whether your right or not.

Be well.

You could try:-
http://elektrotanya.com/

I got my copy of the KRP500M Service Manual from there - I think you have to hunt for the actual download link amongst all the adverts.

I did, did a search in this thread and came across Dmusoke's post where he went thru the same thing. I don't know how many hours, but I bet it is over 10k, my wife is a teacher that does not work summers, so the TV is on for most of the day, and I have had my 151fd since spring of 09 if I am not mistaken. I love this TV, the PS should be here today and my brother-in-law is coming over to help me bring it down from the wall and hang it back up when I am done replacing the PS.

Thanks guys for providing some links to the service manual, although I don't think I will need it, better to have and not need, than to need and not have. smile.gif

Success, replaced the power supply and the 151fd is back up and displaying its beatifull picture, it only took 45 minutes to do with the help of my brother-in-law.
I am glad he came over, cause my wife did not want to help me bring down the TV, it also helps to have another set of hands help you take out all the screws. Thanks to all that helped and provided limks.

Hey guys Purchased a used mint condition 151 Kuro, Looking to mount it and have the panel slightly angled towards the floor. Any recommendations on the best possible mount available?

Also thinking about having the set professionally calibrated and live in Canada. I have done some research on the internet and it looks like Michel Chen is the best option. Was wondering if anyone has dealt with him before? Good or bad experiences?

Drove 14 hours to pick up the set back in August of 2012 and it has been stored in my basement ever since due to renovations to my house. Can’t wait to get this Pioneer up and running, 2009 build date and the pervious owner estimates around 3k hours on it.

Regards.

I would recommend the Sanus VMPL50B. I have used it with a 6020 & my 141.

I would recommend Jeff Meier of Accucal, he did a fantastic job on my 141 & my surround sound system. He does tours, check his website & you can also contact him through the website also.

Jeff Meier did a great job on my 150 and the 151 replacement. He also included the audio settings on my 7.1 AVR. He's great.

I've used D-Nice twice to calibrate/touch up my 151 and would highly recommend him. His knowledge of Pioneer PDPs is impressive.

I also vote also for Jeff Meier. He's worked on my 9g Elite two times. Sept 2008, December 2010 and he'll be working on it again this March.

So far it looks like it's been calibrated by him every two years. The last time (Sept 2008) the TV had drifted by quite a bit. It will be interesting to see if it "held" better this time. At least from what I see, it looks like it has, but I really won't know till March.

Question,

There's now video cameras that can record 1080p @ 60fps.

Does anyone know if the 151FD capable of receiving 1080p @ 60fps (by it's video inputs such as HDMI etc) and displaying it as 1080p @ 60fps?

I'm about to refresh the calibration on my 151fd (its been almost 2 years), what is the consensus for window size? the AVS709 window (@ 14%) or the small apl patterns from the same disc?

If memory serves, I believe I used the windows last time, but I see continued discussions here, in the calibration forum, and over at the ControlCal forums.

thanks

I presume you saw my pics at http://www.avsforum.com/t/1039269/the-official-pioneer-9g-elite-kuro-owners-discussion-thread/26910#post_21411430  and read about the ordeal i went thru to get to the fix?

 

Anyways, also remember that you'll need a buddy to help you lift the plasma off the wall and place it back on the wall, unless you're tall, very strong with wide armssmile.gif!

Yup, sure did. I had my brother-in-law help me get the TV down and put back up, took 45 minutes starting with bringing the TV down to putting it back up, I even grounded myself, didn't want to fry any other boards in case I lost my balance and touch them, I think taking out all the screws and putting them back took the longest. Glad that is over.

What did you do with your old power supply?

I also replaced the power supply in my 9g Kuro....I held onto the old board just in case I needed to source a capacitor in the future. The local repair shop had quoted $1k for the repair. I did the supply swap and swapped the I/O board (6020 turned e-lite) for around $200.

It was surprisingly easy eek.gif
