Fascination. Just picture it.

Loud and clear. Nowadays, the ability to receive digital-quality TV broadcasts is becoming an ever more widespread standard. And with a KURO flat screen TV, you’re perfectly equipped. Every unit features not only an integrated analogue tuner, but also a DVB-T tuner to enable digital terrestrial TV reception. What’s more, our top-of-the-range models are equipped with a DVB-S tuner capable of receiving satellite signals. The Pioneer KURO flat screen TVs featuring both digital terrestrial and digital satellite TV broadcast reception are compliant with the EICTA “HD TV 1080p” Minimum Requirements and support MPEG-4 high definition decoding.* So now, whatever you watch, you take your T V viewing experience to the max.

Uncompromising display from every angle. With KURO, you can be sure that absolutely everything is processed in pristine quality. Star ting with the transfer of digital audio and video signals, absolutely free of noise and compression, via a single HDMI cable. Continuing with a genuine High Definition display of 1,920 x 1,080p. And ending with you sitting back to enjoy movies in original cinema quality – that is, at exactly the 24 frames per second with which the films were shot and mastered. And that in itself makes KURO the perfect partner for HD sources such as Blu-ray.

Multimedia enters a new dimension. KURO provides you with virtually limitless connection options for external sources with stored video and audio data – be it a digital camera, video camera or USB stick. Want to integrate KURO into your home network? That’s not a problem either. The PDP-L X6090H and the PDP-L X5090H are DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified, which means you can use the Home Media Gallery to enjoy HD video content at up to 1,920 x 1,080p resolution. User-friendly operation is another KURO strength. The graphical user interface in these latestgeneration units ensures even clearer separation between the individual menu items and the image content of the current channel.

In perfect sync. Whichever way you look at it – from whatever angle, day or night – the image adjusts to you and your home with the utmost precision. The new AV Optimum Mode continuously optimises brightness, sharpness and colour settings. The system not only takes into account the lighting conditions in the room, but also the actual image on the screen. In addition, the audio is harmonised with the programme you are watching. The result? Perfect sound and pictures at any given time.
