limited edition
Exclusivity. In a dimension all its own. Your taste is unique. Individual. Unmistakable. It’s as rich and multifaceted as your personality. Experience your aesthetic sensitivity. Experience the KURO Limited Edition. When you enter the world of the KURO Limited Edition, you add a new dimension to the expr ession of your individualit y. The exquisitely st yl ed pl asma f l at scr een T Vs K RP -500 AW and K RP -500 A BG ar e masterpieces of design and engineering in t wo striking colour variants: brilliant White and richly nuanced Beige Grisé. Both ar e pr oduced in strictly limited editions. That means you can customise your viewing environment even further, with a KURO colour-coordinated to harmonise – or contrast – your interior design. A s special as the new colour model s are, they both bear all the established hallmarks of a true KURO: exhil arating performance, breathtaking picture quality and unsurpassed technological mastery. And as packed with innovation as they are, the powerful 50-inch viewing solutions are just 64 mm slim – about the width of three fingers.
Refinement. Unparalleled in its richness.
The fascination of colour. For centuries, artists have mixed colours to create nuances that express great beauty and intense emotion. The Beige Grisé of the KURO plasma T V KRP-500ABG combines warmth and refinement in perfect balance. It not only has great aesthetic appeal in and of itself, the shade also harmonises elegantly with a wide spectrum of interior designs. European edition: 1000 units, available from selected authorised dealers. Rich and distinctive, but never distracting, the Beige Grisé frame is set off by the depth and intensity of the images on the KURO fl at screen. The KURO, which draws its name from the Japanese word for black, is based on an ingenious concept. Its screen is engineered to generate the deepest of blacks, enabling it to bring every detail and colour vibrantly and brilliantly to life like never before. The result is a viewing experience that will make you forget all you knew about home entertainment.
Purity. On a level unsurpassed.
Pristine white. What could be a better contrast to the black that gives the KURO its legendary picture brilliance? Because only the deepest black can create a backdrop for t he mos t s t rik ing col our s and only t he pur es t whit e can ex pr ess t he ul timat e in minimalist aesthetics. In Europe, 1500 units of the KURO plasma T V KRP-500AW are available from selected authorised dealers. The clean lines and purist look of the KURO plasma T V KRP-500AW are matched by the pure excellence of the technology inside. Like their black counterparts, all KURO Limited Edition fl at screen T Vs deliver flicker-free images in razor-sharp 1080p resolution. They are also designed to show movies in Blu-ray format at precisely the cadence at which they were originally filmed and mastered. The High Definition-capable systems receive data via HDMI for maximum accuracy. Perfect cinema in your home, gripping sports action or your favourite T V programmes – KURO brings it to life.
Individuality. Inspired to new heights. Pioneer is dedicated to individuality. And with the KURO Limited Edition, we have introduced two new ways to express individual style. But the inspiration goes much further than immediately meets the eye: the special models feature enhanced Optimum Mode, a highly advanced technology that actively senses the lighting conditions and analyses the viewing content, then fine-tunes itself accordingly. Auto Volume Control eliminates annoying spikes in sound volume – for example, during commercial breaks. Whatever you watch, whatever the light situation, you get optimum images and sounds every time. The KURO Limited Edition  at screen T Vs can also be adjusted with the special calibration software ISF. That means an ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) dealer can preset your KURO for ideal daytime viewing and evening entertainment. With these customised adjustments, your viewing environment becomes a unique space, where you can sit back and let your home entertainment transport you.
Excellence. Beyond all expectations.
