The Official Pioneer 9G North American KRP-500M / KRP-600M Owner's Discussion Thread - Page 50  

I played the dark knight with a pioneer blu ray player through advanced mode for film and it looked fine by me. I may have to rent casino royale to test this out, but so far 1080/24 playback has been good for me. I just got planet earth today in the mail too. if you find some scenes where it's bad, let me know, maybe I can test it out on my 600m and let you know.

I watched that last night too . I am probably going way against the mainstream here, but on mine for cable viewing specifically, I set 3DNR and Field NR both to High. I think it really helps with the compression/noise issues for cable watching. I also found that Purecinema set to Off is best for me for cable watching in trying to eliminate judder. I am using Verizon FIOS DVR. However, for DVDs though, I turn all of the noise reduction stuff off and use Advanced purecinema. Not sure about the 24 bit thing...sorry!



We will never know this answer via professional calibrators on here, as they simply wont try it. But some people on here have their own measuring equipment, and maybe time will reveal some settings in those other modes that look prett good. I dont know how good though. I used PbJunior's Standard settings for a good while and liked them, but now I am using Elite's pure settings and love them. Time will bring us other mode settings to try I'm sure.





Keep us posted when you get them. Please make a post in the tracking/damage thread, and then get us some pics in the owners thread once you get her up and running. Good luck with your shipments and take care!

So the 600m works just great.. but does anyone know the part number for the piece that blocksout the gap between the stand and TV?

Cant answer the question you asked, but I want to comment on how nice your kitchen and living area look. Its got a nice contemporary look and I like the colors. Oh yeah....and the tv looks nice too...lol...

Could anyone here confirm that a 6020 stand will fit on the 600M? I understand the "chicken leg" effect as something similiar to what is shown above, but other than that is the spacing between the vertical supports the same?

Thanks for the compliment! The apartment has a circular floorplan...

www.metropolitangrandview.com , unit 304 is mine. Im actually renting for a year to see if I want to buy or not... the irish pub next door gets a little loud from thurs-sunday

I found the piece:

AZN2807
LIGHT-BLOCKING SHIELD
In stock: NO
$52.91


53 bucks and onyl available to dealers I see. I need a better option.

Could someone recommend a stand for the 500M?

IR, what kind of stand comes with your 600m? is it a pioneer one? I don't have that gap on my 600m and the tv stand, so was curious about that.

Yeah, I noticed the curved shape of the cabinetry and though it looked very cool. Very nice!

Good luck on your hunt for the right part for the tv

Interesting floorplan, irfan.

What are your opinions about the glare issues on the set?

I've found that the PDK-1011 and PDK-1012 swivel stands fit, with some modification (see here). I'm pretty sure the PDK-1013, which is similar, will also work; there are several of those for sale on eBay.

I'm also reasonably sure a PDK-1016 stand would work, and there's one of those on eBay as well. (I believe mousse bought one of those; you can ask him whether he confirmed that it fit his 500M.)

I have not had a chance to activate ISF Day yet...still need to break my set in more before I do that.

I wouldn't trust the ISF Day that you saw at Magnolia...from all indications it's pretty spectacular. Like Pure mode on steroids.

All pic modes can be tweaked for better color temperature and dialing back the advanced settings. Optimum works pretty well, I use that or Standard for (my limited) daytime viewing so far. Optimum can crush blacks, but depending on the content, doesn't neccessarily ruin your viewing experience.

Wood,

Mine was like that so I was right and it was the old packaging. . .

Rich. . .ours was the old one.

Here's some more stand info for the 500M that may help.

The slots on the bottom of the 500M are designed to accept longer posts such as these:




Other stands with shorter posts can be used, but you would need to mount the posts higher up, using one bolt on each side instead of two. This worked fine for me. Below is a stand with the shorter posts (as in the PDK-1011 and PDK-1012). This stand is identical to the PDK-1012, except that it's silver instead of black:




Still other stands, such as the PDK-1016, use the same mounting holes as wall mounts, rather than the slots on the bottom. I believe the KRP-TS02 (the official stand for the 500M) also attaches this way. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this; I'm judging from the photos.) Here's the PDK-1016:




And here's the KRP-TS02 for comparison:

OK. . .

Some questions:

1. Why does it say 24 bit with all signals except 1080p 24 which says 36 bit?
2. I=P mode and drive mode. . .what are they exactly?
3. This is a subjective thing but cable is looking way softer than when I ahd my 8g 50 elite. Is this because of the size increase and I just didn't notice it before or what?
also are there any tweaks someone can recommend to help this?

thanks,
jimi

No prob. Fringe was good last night though. I just wish they would tie the episodes in to the bigger pic a little more though.

jimi

irfan, is that the KRP-TS01 (official stand for 600) pictured? Was hoping not to have the "chicken leg" look.

I haven't attempted to mount it yet but it seems like it would not be a perfect fit. Width wise it works but not height wise. I could drill new holes in the 1016 to get it to fit but for now I'm going to wall mount it.

The PDK-TS23 is somewhat of a universal mount and would fit.

Thanks for the info. So the stand with the shorter posts just bolts into the lower holes on the set?
What stand is in the first pic above with the longer posts?

The stand with the longer posts is an exact fit. You can use the one with the shorter posts (as I did) by mounting the posts higher, so that they're in effect longer. The stand in the picture with the longer posts is a PDK-TS25 (it would work, but you probably don't want silver).

There's a PDK-TS23 on eBay for $69. I think it's technically made for the PRO-FHD1, but it's listed in some places as fitting the 500M.

Does anyone know the total height of the 600 when mounted to the KRP-TS01?

I'll do you one better, here is the link that a pioneer rep emailed me, a link for many Pioneer plasmas' dimensions, CAD style. I do believe dimension wise, the 141 is essentially the same as 600m. maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong. and I did take a peek into the drawing of the 141 and measured my 600m, and they are the same as the 141s, which is at 37 17/32". hope that helps.

Thanks woody, this is quite possibly one of the best posts for information in this thread. This should definately be linked to within the first post along with the DNice settings.

i only see the judder when the camera pans across standing still objects. like the poker table scene in casino royale. but i have also seen it on the patriot blu-ray movie. it has to be a slow pan from left to right on still objects. lucky there arent that many scenes in movies, and smooth always fixes it but at the same time smooth creates more problems in other parts of movie then it fixes. i end up turning to off.

Just a personal statement.

I thought briefly about searching for a super low-cost web provider but:

1. The forum sponsors to a man/woman have all been active participants
on the forums helping people solve problems, offering recommendations,
etc. -- often when someone else got the sale.

2. We have a long-term connection with the forum sponsors when it comes
to knowing that they'll help you out with any problems -- including going
to bat with the manufacturer if necessary, dealing with problems out-of-
warranty, etc.

3. Their prices are very competitive. If they are a bit higher, it's worth it
for the peace of mind and paying them back for all of the time they
spend here.

Thanks guys for all of your help and participation here! I really appreciate it. (And I fully intend to take advantage of your help as I try to figure out all the crazy modes and communication protocols in modern TVs! :-))

The biggest obstacle is convincing the wife that i need a KRP600 in the bedroom. (I'd be roughly nine feet away)

The biggest obstacle is convincing my wife that i need a 600M in the bedroom as opposed to the 500M; my viewing distance is only 10 feet.

Thanks again. That TS25 is only available in England when I did a search and on E-bay. What's up with that??

Folks some posts have been removed for where to buy etc..

Please stop posting prices and or where to buy or this thread will need to be closed

Thank you!

both my 500 and 600 do superbly with 1080p/24. i know this opens an argument but in my heart and mind i do think the quality of the hdmi connection is a direct impact on judder. I have absolutely no judder.
