The Official Pioneer 9G North American KRP-500M / KRP-600M Owner's Discussion Pt. II - Page 6

More proof that no matter who did the calibration YMMV.

Is that post p****? Isn't it interesting that we're afraid to mention the name?

As D-nice has stated, settings vary from display to display - hence no "school solution setting." Since there has been verification by D-nice that he won't post p***** settings, I think the posting of ALL settings should be welcome. As I was repeatedly told in the previous thread "if you don't like it, don't buy (use) it."

Can I get a touche?

Well, I understand your notation either way. Okay, sometimes I have to look it up.


4fL is significant. The HCFR windows can be made very small (set by %).

It's possible to at least partially compensate for the larger CMS setting's effects on grayscale with the white balance controls, but it's a pain in the arse. Since they interact, you can also do the opposite - use the CMS to fix errors in the low end of the grayscale, but it's very tricky to do it without causing color errors.

Yes it is.

Likewise with CalMAN. A window not much bigger than a C5 is ... something I forget but around 10%. I must say automated patterns are sweet. Sadly I haven't solved the 'my laptop outputs junk' problem.

Yes, it's so much faster to hit the 'measure' button and watch it run the measures without having to press the darn buttons on the BD remote and the notebook for each pattern! Much better than 20/80/20/80, 0-100, repeat, zzzzzz....

Yes, that would be post ISFccc patch since I installed it a couple weeks ago.

Public Service Announcement: To those who may benefit from any information I have provided, paid for, or offered on the forum- Please use it, share it, and send it to whomever may find it as beneficial as anyone else. I don't mind in the least. I agree with bodosm there should be honor amongst thieves though in this instance you are not stealing what I freely give... I wish for nobody to view me as stingy- what you giveth you shall receive.

Too many times people are "secretive" but will relay tidbits of information to "teaze" us, just post the darn things see what they look like and if you like em, use em. Truth be told- I like my Bluray viewing at -1 not +1 for brightness and I paid good money to change my mind about that

is anyone with a patched 600m going to post settings some time this century? or will those owners continue to gloat and hold out for no good reason whatsoever? i can understand d-nices situation not wanting to publicize in writing that he has been patched to pioneers demise but others really have no good reason not to post them. i see patched 500m settings all over the place and not one set of 600m patched settings. i think its safe to say this has gone beyond ridiculous.

If I had settings for my patched 600m worth sharing I would setup a password protected web page to display them and give everyone the password but you.

Not because I don't like you, because you think there's some conspiracy that 600M owners are refusing to share their settings.

Sorry dude.

Perhaps we don't have anyone in the thread with an ISFccc-capable 600M, calibration software and meter? Quite possible.

ding. ding.

Anyone want to lend me a meter? I did look into getting a Chroma 5 but for as long as I plan to have this panel I can't see adding another hobby as making sense. I'll have enough on my plate with audio cal and eq'ing my sub.

I don't like to play matchmaker, but if the "CA" in your ID refers to California rather than Canada, look at this guys post. And a person who many of us praised before the original thread got locked might be a lessor as well. (apologies for the purposely cryptic message)

"the break-in instructions have been revised -- repeatedly"
The settings Cocounut Groves presented are the same ones I'm breaking my new 600M in.
I just wanted to be sure I had the right ones in.
Thanks everyone !

Now I have one less excuse.

If only one of us knew how to use it!

well if no one has settings to share i completely understand. just doesent seem that way. and i really dont understand why your throwing up the roadblock in my direction when you also have nothing to share. why you even replied i will never know. moving along.

If you want to follow the D-Nice break-in process I recommend that you refer to the original.

This is what it says as of the time of this posting in the original which was last edited on the 10-July-2009. Please note a rather important omission:
I'm not sure posting incomplete information is helpful.

There's a wealth of useful information in the AVS calibration threads. There's also a somewhat different array of resources at the Calibration Forum site targeted to a different audience. At least that's my take.

I'm aware of those resources, there's even a tutorial that uses the i1 here.

Have you seen it?

Not the place I meant.


Yes, the idea of tinting your glycol coupling is beyond gadgety.

It's better than posting nothing at all.

It never ceases to amaze me how message boards can cause such issues. A select few take it on themselves to police everything, when in fact, that just causes more posts that people have to read over and ignore trying to find the info they wanted in the first place. Which causes more posts of people asking to find information.

"Incomplete" is subjective - those settings worked for me just fine. "Fine" is also subjective. But I can post what I've done and what worked. You can lose sleep if you think its incomplete or not to your standards. But you need to realize that your standards are not what other people's standards are.

I appreciate what you are trying to do, but if you want complete control, create your own website with the FAQ you've created. You are telling people to not post their settings because it doesn't follow "your standards" - that is wrong.

That's the last I care to chime in about this subject because I don't want to perpetuate the problem, though by posting this, I already have.

Back on topic -

I can't find a calibrator near central texas - anyone have ISF calibration done on their Kuro around this area? I don't want to controlcal myself.

Hi,

I will receive my KRP-500M next month, I'm importing it from USA to Uruguay where I live.
Everybody says KRP are all the same around the world except ISF modes in USA, but the manual states only 110V/60Hz for the US models and in Uruguay we have 220V/50Hz.
Does sombody know if the power section of the 500M is multi-voltage or if I must use a 220/110 step down transformer?
I've read that the xx20 US Kuros support 220V even if not specified, what about the 500M?

Thanks
GV

No converter needed from what I was told. I tested all other Pioneers with 220/240 so doubt they would change that in KRP's

Take a look at turbe signature he has calibrators that he and many others recommend that do tours and cover your state.

Thanks for your answer.
GV

The following Calibrators cover Texas:

Milton Krueger
David Abrams - Tour
Doug Weil - Tour
Jeff Meier - Tour
Chad Billheimer - Tour

Ahhhh - there it is. I swore I had seen your list before turbe. I was checking the controlcal site and couldn't find it - I even thought it was in your sig there, but is not. Man, I searched for 15 minutes or more last night looking for it.

Thanks again.

As you can see, you have several to choose from

FYI, a check today of the Pioneer authorized web retailers showed many deletions, including the vendor I used. Not sure what that means.

If they havent ordered from Pioneer in 90 days arent they removed from that list? They could still have stock and warranties, but Pioneer doesnt list them after a while. This is from what ive read in pther pioneer threads, im sure a dealer will chime in.
