Hi all. Calling all AV enthusiasts and guru's...! I have an old-ish five year old CRT TV and I recently enquired if a BlueRay player can be hooked up to my TV. My local dealer said a resolute NO and pointed me to the new TV's...!My TV is a Panansonic...

can anyone help my sony blu-ray player is around a year old and am having trouble getting it to play some disc's. It wouldn't play ironman from the main menu but I managed to see it from the scene selection. It won't play wall-e from the main menu...

Supposing I am using a Nap175 to drive center and rear, but I have the n-center while the sats will come later, can I leave two outputs out of three in the 175 unloaded, or should I connect to them, say, a couple of 6ohm, 20 watt resistors in...

At the moment I’ve got a normal, non-hi-def tv. At some point in the future – and it always seems to be extending further into the future – I will get a hi-def LCD. In the meantime I’ve been given some blu-ray disks. I know I can get a Blu-ray DVD...

Recently finished GTA IV and back on Call of Duty 4 playing online. What are other PS3 owners playing?

Hi all,I had to ask this question as I am perplexed. Surely if this is an up to date console, it will have the Dolby 5.1 abilities?? I have read the manual and it says nothing of this, but would I be correct postulating that outputting via HDMI brings...

What happened to Axent and Axess? They are out of production? Just have the urge to look for one to replace my Trikan, heard it's much better match to SBL.cheers

I have just bought a Terratec satellite-TV PCI card for my PC. It receives free satellite broadcasts from Astra/Eurobird ... [I have it connnected direct to the satellite dish] .... It comes with a trial subscription to tvtv.co.uk EPG [electronic program guide] .. The full annual subscription is £ 15. I have not installed the trial version since I hate having to remove software that does not work out well [it's always nearly impossible to remove everything]. Has anyone any experience...

First, someone please reassure me on the AV2 because I've just bought a s/h one and a post on AV2 problems has immediately appeared. Now I may be a paranoid, but have I just bought a hydiosyncratic buggy box? Hope not.Second point: has anyone with...

Can somebody explain how to add home theatre sound to an existing HDTV/Blu ray combo? What gets connected to what and with what cabling, any brand recommendations etc.

So I bought this AV2, ready to add surround to my system. I will need extra power amp and extra speakers, of course, so my question is: do you (av people) consider the center channel mandatory or could I do with a Nap 150 and just two n-Sats for the...

Not sure if this should be in 'Padded Cell' but here goes ..If I buy one of the current 80G or 160G Playstation 3 consols can it play Playstation 2 games .. I have looked for help on the internet but the reports are all very confusing ...ThanksJames H.

Does anyone? A quick scan and I don't see many topics on it. Wasn't Naim's original intent, to have a stand alone audio and stand alone video. The video never made it because of the ever changing formats? Has anyone seen the DVDO Edge? I m not...

Just added a poweline to my wireworld block and a funny thing happened, my girlfriend wondered why the TV picture seemed better - I had changed the cables whilst she was out.weird or what !!Barrie

Hi,I'm new to the HT forum. I have a few doubts, so if any of you is kindly willing to help me, thanks.First: I assume an AV2 is a full preamp for audio other than a DolbyDigital processor, so building a mixed music/video system might include DVD5,...

Using a DVI to HDMI conveter to Panasonic Plasma 37PX70B.good quality picture, ie improvement on SCART result. With scart there are both sound and video signal success. I cannot work out why no sound via HDMI, any clues?

Hi,I had to ask this question as I understand CDs are typically 16bit 44.1kHz.What is digital TV sampled at? Is this also 16bit and 44.1kHz?Im just curious as to whether an external DAC could improve TV audio sound somehow???Regards,Jon

Hi, a further question from me. I have recently become 1000 richer and I did not expect this. I want to get a good 5.1 system, so if anyone has suggestions around the 1000 mark I'd be really really grateful to hear.Many thanks,Jon
