New Optimum Mode Pioneer's exclusive New Optimum Mode automatically analyses the type of images being displayed and uses a Room Light Sensor to monitor the ambient brightness. The KRP-500A also accepts the optional KRP-SE01 colour sensor for monitoring the colour of the lighting. Based on the information received, parameter settings are optimised so you enjoy the best possible picture no matter when you're watching or whether you're watching movies, concerts, sports or other types of content. Even if the room brightness changes, you still get optimum picture quality. 　Adjusts for Best Sound Also The New Optimum Mode not only optimises picture quality, it also adjusts for best sound quality to match the genre you are viewing. Based on the results of analysing the source content, it performs detailed sound adjustments using SRS, SRS FOCUS, SRS TruBass and SRS Definition. The result is sound that accentuates the excitement of the visual images. When watching a movie, you hear sound like you would hear in a movie theatre, and when watching a concert, you hear dynamic and energetic sound. 　Optimum Performance For those wanting to know the operating conditions of the New Optimum Mode, the Optimum Performance function provides Input Video Display, Sensor Functionality Display, Output Video Display, and Output Audio Display. You can see the detailed histogram analysis of the video, as well as RGB and Room Light Sensor status. You can also check the before and after changes of the video and sound output with a push of a button. 　KURO Link By connecting the KURO TV with a new LX A/V receiver and the LX Blu-ray Disc player, KURO LINK lets you operate the whole system's basic functions, such as power on/off and playback through KURO's remote control.
