When you get the Elite, (Pro-111FD or Pro-151FD)

1. Plug it in (LOL)

2. Press the Home Menu button on the remote.

3. then go to setup and press enter.

4. The go to Picture and press enter

5. Now set your settings up like this:

Picture:
AV Selection: Sport
Contrast: 50
Brightness: 0
Color: +20
Tint: 0
Sharpness: 0


Pro Adjust

Pure Cinema
Film Mode: Off
Text Optimization: Off

Intelligence: Off


Picture Detail:
DRE Picture: Off
Black Level: Off
ACL: Off
Enhancer Mode: 2
Gamma: 2


Color Detail:
Color Temp: High

CTI: Off

Color Management

M 0

Color Space: 2


Noise Reduction:

3DNR: Off
Field NR: Off
Block NR: Off
Mosquito NR: Off

Screen Size: Full
Power Save Mode: Off
Orbiter: Mode 1



6. Click Here-----> Thumbdrive Files (http://www.eaprogramming.com/downloads/files/BreakIn_Images.zip) and put the files on your blank thumbdrive. Make sure you unzip the "BreakIn_Images.zip" folder and put the jpgs directly on the USB thumbdrive.

Then plug the thumb drive into the usb port on your Kuro.

And follow these instructions:


*Press home/menu on the remote

*Then go to "home media gallery"

*Then go to USB

*Then go to "USB Disk" (it may say 2.0 or something beside it)

*This should open your thumb drive and show you a list of the break-in jpg's.

*Press the "tools" button on the remote.

*Scroll down to slide show and press enter.

*Set the settings up like this:

Effect: Off
Monochrome: Off
Interval: 10 seconds - 30 seconds (your choice but I recommend 30 seconds)
Random: Off
Play mode: Repeat All
BGM:Off

*Then click "start"
(This should start up the slideshow Break-in process)

*Then press the "AV selection" button on the remote and toggle it until the AV mode is on SPORT

Let the TV run the slideshow (in sports AV mode) and break-in for 100-150 hours.

Feel free to watch TV when you want. Don't be afraid to. Just Try to stay away from channel logos, black bars, and static images whenever possible.
Use common sense and you will be just fine.:D



Once you have finished the break-in process, I would suggest using D-Nices reference settings for whichever Elite you have (111 or 151) as a starting point for your settings.

Here is a link to where you can find those settings.

D-Nice's settings page (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1053444)

Make sure you read the instructions above the settings that D-Nice put there to determine which setting are right for you.
He put them in bold red.

That should do it for you! let me know if you get stuck anywhere.

P.S. I would also recommend Getting ControlCal and Activating your ISF-Day, ISF-Night, and ISF-Auto modes. Then contacting a Certified ISF calibrator to calibrator your set.

I know this may seem like "hand holding", but don't forget to press the AV button on the remote to get the display back to "Sport" after starting the slide show. I'm new, and I just found this out; thought it might help.

Is there a thread for companies that specialize in new system calibrations by their location? I'm in So Cal.

Do you run the slide show when you're not watching tv and leave it on? How long do you leave the tv running? Throughout the entire break in period?

Leave it running the whole time.
You can stop and let the TV cool down if you like, but I only did that 2-3 times.
The kuro's can run for days and days without any issues.
I have heard of some running the slides non-stop for 150 hours straight.
And had no issues.
If the TV gets too hot, then it will kick the fans on. But I have never seen my fans run.

Just so a newbie understands, you run the slides for the 100-150hr break in?

Chadmak09, At a 30 second slide show interval, did you experience an approximately 9 to 10 second "black" screen in between each color change?
Thanks for for your information on the break-in process and menu directions... very helpful!

A real newbie here. First plasma, first pioneer. Do I really need to do this? It just seems excessive to have to go through all this. A tv this expensive, should be good to go right out of the box. Can't I just watch tv?
