Get a copy of this. You will never see a film or ending like it.Tom did his best ever work on this as did many others  IMO.The sound track album is also wonderful.Stu

Hi I currently run my system with an av receiver (pioneer lx72) and this runs my stereo and Bluray fix. Rest of system is pioneer Bluray player, nd5xs, spendor a6 front, spendor c5.2 centre, b&w mt30 complete the speaker package. I am enjoying the stereo sound and sometimes I am amazed at the quality. But sometimes I listen and think the bass and drive just isn't there! My Bluray playback is awesome and this really blows me away. So, I am pondering whether to add a nait xs for pure...

Hi all, my dvd 5 plays no cd's. if you put one in, the display shows "cd", and you can hear it work normally. but there's no sound. dvd works perfectly. i can't understand this. Any advice? thank you.christoph

When I bought my DVD5 it was because of the sound quality. Others at the time had what I thought to be a slightly better picture, but I wanted the best sound quality for my DVD concerts. Now I am thinking of upgrading to HD, but is there a HD DVD...

I am using an nvi + NAP 200 + Harbeth HL-P3ES, principally for (i) playing DVDs (through old Panasonic 22" LCD TV) and (ii) streaming audio via a Sonos ZP90. This year will see a TV upgrade to something bigger and better, with lots of bells and...

I've just connected my new Oppo BDP-93 Bluray player to the "OP2" input on my AV2.The volume level is so low, I have to turn the AV2 right up to over 70 on the display. Not a problem as such, but potentially dangerous when I switch to another source...

Fortunately, I have not required many repairs as a Naim user; however, my DVD5 has been the exception.  It was with the distributor for 6 months for repairs/service.  The unit was purportely repaired and returned to me.  To my...

Came home after a couple of days away and DVD 5  had W DOG on display.From forum this said about the processor stopping working.Switched it off and back on and the power light keeps flashing and nothing works.Pushed a few buttons on front and it...

Just finished ripping all my music DVDs, and thought I'd note a few of the techniques I have used. I am working on Linux, but much of the software is available for Windows. In an earlier post I wrote how I was ripping to mkv, mkv being a container...

The other day I almost gave in to temptation and bought an Onkyo processor. Why? I suppose there is a truth that I like the thought of the modern technology, after all I could: play with sound shaping; get a DLNA client; have a video switch;...

So how does the Oppo stack up against itself, and the Naim DVD5, when streaming films? Pretty well, BUT ...., of which more anon. In terms of picture quality I would say that it is BETTER. I rip my DVDs to MKV via MakeMKV specifically...

Hi I'm using Mac DVD Ripper Pro but quality is not as good as the DVD on playback. Can anyone recommend a bit perfect DVD ripping solution? I'm not interested in converting for iPad etc. I just want a quality rip to store on my NAS and play...

I am assured that this is legal, so hopefully it won't trouble the moderators. Does anyone have experience of unlocking Blu-ray players for other region Blu-ray discs or DVDs? I believe it is generally harder to unlock for Blu-ray playback.

Hi all We have just acquired an AV2 and NAP175 to sit alongside our 52/135s and Focal Micro Utopias. Currently we have a small inexpensive centre speaker and some even more inexpensive rear speakers. We would obviously like to upgrade these...

Hello everyone, No replies on HiFi Corner, hope to get some here. I just bought a used Nait5i & really like the sound which I prefer over a Nait3 I was using. However, I am disappointed over the AV input which i had set unity gain & connected with pre-outs of my AV receiver.No matter what I try, a loud thump comes over my speakers when I switch to the AV input. This happens even if my AV receiver is not on. When I googled this problem, I read another nait5i user...

I have my tv through my supernait via a digital cable into aux1out. When I watch tv it sounds great but put it on a hd Channel it makes a really intense nasty an loud sound. It's set up to PCM as some one said ages ago when I first set it up ages ago....

Hi - I'm thinking of trying moving my sub from being connected to the AV amp, to be connected to my SN, so that it's also used for music. Before I go to all the palava of doing this I thought I'd see whether people thought it was worth trying. Currently for home theatre I have my front L&R channels routed from my AV amp (Sony STRDA3300ES c. £700 about 4 years ago) through my SN, with no centre speaker. Front speakers are Neat momentum 3i - I have them set to small with the cross-over...

Hi, We are renovating so I asked my sparkie to chase cable runs into the wall so my TV can be hung without cables showing. I asked him to keep the power run up to the tv separate from the HDMI. Unfortuantly he has run them 1" apart. Any ideas if this...

I have an option to have my DVD5 close to the NDAC and use a 'normal' length digital cable for music and then have to run a 3 meter hdmi cable to the TV for picture, or I can have the DVD5 below the TV and then have a 3 meter run of...

I have a Thor hdmi/optical switch that I use to connect my satelite tv/blu ray/medi player to my projector and also pass the optical output through a DAC and then on to my preamp. The Thor has pretty much died after a couple of years of solid work and...

Hi all, This question nags at me as I often have to select the correct source and necessary settings, can anyone help??? Jon

Hi all, new member here, 1st post - hope you can help! I'm looking at buying a N-Vi to replace my existing Hi-Fi and home theatre set up and have a couple of questions I'd like to throw open! I've never had any Naim equipment before so this is quite a big step and I don't want to make the wrong decision! So question one is about the quality of the N-vi compared to separates. I know its all subjective, personal taste and room layout play a big part, but, I wonder how it would stack up against...
