    Put simply, KURO LINK means that you are able to control basic functions of compatible Pioneer Audio/Visual devices* (such as your Blu-ray player, amplifier or DVD recorder), with your KURO flat-screen TV remote control.

    One remote for your full entertainment system.

    KURO LINK is made possible via the single HDMI cable connection between your flat-screen TV and your other entertainment devices.

    * Other brands of TV and home entertainment components also work with the KURO LINK function (here’s a list)

  • HD Digital Film Direct 24 Yes

    HD Digital Film Direct 24Put simply, HD Digital Film Direct means “Master Quality”: what you see and hear on your flat-screen is exactly as the film-makers intended. Absolutely true to the original.

    We’ve applied this standard as a label (see the logo on the right) to those of our products that accurately handle 24fps (frames per second) movie content; this will help you make the right product choice for the true HD movie experience.

    Films are typically shot, developed and encoded for cinema reproduction at 24fps.

    Regular PAL broadcasting and DVD have always played these images back at 25 fps (50Hz).

    This has the effect of speeding up images and raising the pitch of sounds and voices.

    But, the new high definition discs, like Blu-ray Disc, offer you access to a digitised ”true to the original” copy of the theatrical movie content.

    We offer a product range that is perfectly matched for bringing the real cinema experience into your home: amplifiers, Blu-ray Disc players, home cinema systems and flat-screen TVs with our trademark screening of 24fps source input at 72Hz (3 images displayed per original frame).

  • Video Signal D/A Converter 297MHz / 14-bit (High Definition)
    216MHz / 14-bit (Standard Definition)

  • Dimensions (W x H x D) 420 x 143 x 365 mm

  • Weight 14,3 kg

  • Power Consumption (in use/standby) 59W / 0,3 W

    Sustainable Energy EuropeCaring for the environment is important. It's why we are a Sustainable Energy Partner of the European Commission.

    What this means is that we've committed to reduce power consumption in standby modes. The less energy we consume, the better for the environment.

    This feature reduces the block noise. Block Noise is a block-shaped distortion generated upon MPEG compression.

  • Pixel Scaler Yes

  • Deep Colour 48-Bit (except 1080p/50 and 1080p/60 output)

    So what you see is as natural and lifelike as possible.

  • x.v. Colour Yes

    x.v.Colour (also known as xvYCC or Extended-gamut YCC) is a colour space that supports 1,8 times as many colours as the RGB colour space.
