NAC Preamps and SKY +
Posted by: Eddie Pugh on 04 May 2004
My old Sony Sky box and processor has co-existed quite happily with my NAC 82 for a few years now with no issues.
A few weeks back I was tempted by the Sky+ deal and upgraded to the Pace PVR box. Impressive bit of kit. I swapped out the 40Gig hard drive for a 120Gig drive and now have 60 hrs of easy to use video recording. Its also very quiet.
Only one snag and one that is proving difficult to pin down. The new Sky+ remote issues codes which switch the NAC 82's inputs. I don't know which buttons or key combinations on the Sky+ cause the problem but it is a bloody nuisence. Anyone experienced this problem and have you identified how to select NAC inputs on the Sky+
This could be really nasty and expensive if you have a second live input e.g a tuner or CD running while the Volume control is at 12 o'clock for the processor.
Are things any different with the new kit and the unity gain. I note Naim have switched the A/V button to where the old tape selector button was on the old kit and I must say that the Sky+ box does seem to have a slight preference to switch to this input.
I know that most of you will reply that I should not even be siting the kit in the same room but somebody out there must be using a Sky+ box with an AV2. Has anyone got a work around. Have Naim changed the RC Codes for the New Reference Series?
