I currently have a DVD5 which is used for DVD and CD playback. The wife and I are planning on getting a HDX soon, so the DVD5 will only be used for DVDs.Now that Blue Ray has won the race and there will not be an upscaler available for the DVD5. I was...

My Arcam AVR300 has broken (again) for the last time as far as I'm concerned. I was just wondering if anybody knew whether Naim were going to release a new AV pre-amp capable of handling the new Surround Codecs (ie, DD TrueHD, DTS Master Audio...

This forum is not my normal home but, if I want those nice shiny Zu Druid things at some point in the future, then a plasma has to replace my CRT. I have a number of issues that have just come up though and I'm wondering if I have hit an...

Just discovered a disk from my prized Blakes 7 boxed set has been scratched (probably by my 3 year old) and would welcome any suggestions as to how to repair it. It's not a particularly deep looking scratch but the disk doesn't play one of the...

Hi,The signal of my digital tv is only 45% when using my regular coax cable (10 metres). When I connect another, higher quality coax before it (unfortunately this one alone is too short) it reaches 55%. I really don't understand how that can be. Any...

I'm having a slight problem with my N-Vi. As one would expect its at the centre of my AV set up and connected to the rest of my system - being CDS3/552/500 etc. Plug the N-Vi into the 552's av input and all's well until that is I connect a TV. Ok so I...

We currently have standard sky running into a crt tv. I am thinking about a lcd tv soon and would like to get HD through freesatHD but would like to keep the standard sky as well (sky HD is too expensive). Can they be run from the same dish and would...

So, after a seemingly endless seven week wait between placing the order and finally talking delivery, I eagerly unpacked my new nSub..... ...and then realized that either my dealer had ordered the wrong cable or the wrong cable had been sent with the...

Evening all.I,ve just had a DVD5 installed into the rest of my Naim system. The dealer used a Van de Hull DVI to HDMI converter plus a chord silver 1.3 HDMI cable to get the picture to my Panasonic Plasma. Problem is the picture keeps on dissappearing...

Hi Guys,I was thinking of selling my Panasonic EX77 Freeview HDD/DVD Player as I now have Sky HD and getting a PS3 to play DVDs (and Games of course). My main concern is the noise that it makes whilst playing movies as I can’t hide it away. Is...

Hi guys;I'm moving the hifi to a dedicated room and have set up a dedicated mains spur for the black boxes + DVD + AV receiver. Ideally, should I power my projector from the dedicated hifi spur or is it best to have the projector running off the...

Every now and then I consider trading in may AV amp, centre and surrounds and investing in a better pair of main speakers (and maybe a sub), and a DAC. Currently Nait5i powers the main speakers (Totem Dreamcatchers) ,,, Obviously a Supernait is a...

Hi all, I have an n-Vi which I am pretty happy with - which is my primary DVD player (as you would expect). It also handles audio from my PS3 (Blu Ray), Satellite Receiver and Apple TV (I have an HDMI switch that also switches coax & optical connections, so it switches both the video to the display, and audio to the n-Vi). I have a couple of problems/questions though: 1. The audio of a CD played through the n-Vi is great, but audio processed via the optical digital input is inferior (I...

I have a huge "pshhhhh" noise in the front left speaker in any 3.2.1 modes and digital 2.0.My AV2 only works ok in mono and direct modesWith the DVD5 set up I have noticed, using the speaker level that the right speaker sends some kind of "buz" noise...

Please can anyone recommend a multi region (for standard DVDs) Blu Ray player. The Samsung players get good write-ups, but I have not been able to find whether any are multi region for normal DVD as I have a large number of R1 & 3 discs

GuysMy main interest is audio, but I do enjoy the big picture experience so we've had a Sony HS10 projector for about 5 years. I use a PC to run it using powerstrip to scale the output to the panel size of the projector. The picture stll seems really...

Hi everyone,I've recently had to down-size from DVD5/AV2, Naim amps etc. to a Sony A/V receiver and Jamo speakers, due to an impending house move. I've found that to get a decently high replay level the volume on the amp needs to be wound up to near...

Now that the 'war' is over, ive been considering buying a blu-ray player. Has anybody any experience of interfacing one with an AV2? Is it worth it considering you have to use the onboard processor or do the visuals outweigh any loss of sound quality?...

Just wondered if anyone had their V+ remote control controlling the volume on the n-Vi or AV2. Virgin give various control codes for various TVs and Receivers but nothing for Naim - tried the 0279 code but nothing. Any ideas ?CheersJames

I wonder if anyone has tried connecting a pair of centre speakers to the n-Vi using NACA 5. And how does it sound? I guess one would join the cables from the two speakers before it went into the centre speaker terminal of the n-Vi. The reason I am...
