Home Theatre

Hi,i am looking to buy a 32" flatscreen.My main priority is to have very good picture quality with standard dvd and freeview.Lcd or plasma?personally not sure,what i have noticed is that there is less reflections in bright rooms but the blacks are not...

I have recently become the proud owner of a Panasonic TH42PZ85B Plasma tv. Connecting my Virgin V+ cable box to it through an HDMI cable produces a stunning picture.However when I came to connect my (much loved) Naim nVi via a DVI to HDMI converter...

hi all,further to the picture failings with sky sports thread i have been informed by the insurance company that i can choose a new set.i have settled on the panasonic tx37lzd85 lcd.the reason that i have plumped for the lcd over plasma is because the...

Reading various other treads I infer:*that Sky HD outputs 1080i, *that older HD screens deinterlace and downscale to 7xxp (can't remember whether it was 720 or 768)*that Sky HD can output at 720p if set to do so.So is it better to let the Sky HD...

my bluray player will "freeze" in the middle of a movie or cd. it is unresponsive to the remote. i have to unplug and replug it to bring it back.seems to be a common problem.anyone else have this problem? anyone have a fix?

Hi everybody,I am about to go Full HD by june, buying very probably the new Pioneer plasma and a Blu-Ray player.I need to connect the BR player to the AV2, but how to ?Would a pair of 4RCA-5pin DIN Chord Crimson do it ?Is there some Naim Cables ?

Am plannong to replace my home desktop with a laptop and saw options from Acer and Sony with a Bluray drive: what standard would it be for playback through my TV? Also the laptop screen is apparently full HD and some models have 5.1 capability!Neil

Any recommendations for an AV table?2 spring to mind, Equinox AV and Minim AV.. are there any others?btw it needs to hold AV amp, DVD and Sky+ on on shelf, bmw lcr60 on the next and tv on top.

Is it really necessary to have a sub-woofer. I'm playing with the idea of having SBL's as front speakers, something small, cheap and 2nd hand as rears. I just wondered if I can get away without a sub. I think a sub inside a setreo system with SBLs...

If so, it is the answer to my ills.I really want a Naim DAC, to get the most of my 24/96 rips.I also would love a Naim CDP, for all of my CDs.But given the above, I still only want to add one source and HDX is not an option.Being that i have my entire...

HiI am thinking of connecting a Sky+ box to my Nait 2 so that I can play the sound through some Kef speakers. Can anyone suggest what type/spec of cable I need to purchase to connect the 2 units.Thanks in advance.

Over the past few nights we've watched......Beowulf - we missed this at the cinema, and (ashamed to admit to not knowing the story) I found it enjoyable if a bit "strange" at the beginning..... Visually interesting with the whole CGI but real people...

Dear AllSome rather boring but necessary queries regarding the above. I have recently splashed out on a Pioneer Plasma PDP-428XG Kuro 42". I have an ageing Dell laptop and a lot of TV programmes stored on the hard drive.What is the best way to connect...

I have a super nait. When i like to make a HT setup will it be possible to do that with the super nait?I was thinking of Super nait + AV2 + NAPV175I already have a Bluray-player.Then HDMI ( screen ) to my plasma screen. And digital out to the AV2.I...

hi all,excuse my ignorance on this subject as i have not played computer games for years.i intend to get a blueray dvd player in the not too distant future but am undecided on which route to take as my daughter also wants a games console and shes not...

Wasn't there a request for a Naimnet specific request for a category? Looks like we got it, but no one can access it... How does my Netstream installer who is not a Naim dealer access? Seems like the end user should also have access.

I see that Tripath have shuffled off this mortal coil. Where does this leave the n-Vi with its Tripath Power amp boards ?James (concerned n-Vi owner)

Can anyone help? I've just moved house and am now using the stereo in a separate room from my AV stuff. I was using sbls as front speakers with n-vi plus a 52/135s combination and an ncent centre with 2 cheap MA surrounds and no sub. The sbls are now...

I'm going to have to go out and buy a new tv. I'm not really into home theater so I want something basic but decent. I want at least 2 scarts, pc input and HD ready and I'm not bothered about built in freeview or DVD. Any recommendations?

Anybody heard of possible 'wireless' displays for neat and tidy wall mounting ...or...am I off my trolley even hoping for it.regardsGeoff

hi all, I know this gets asked a lot but it is somewhat a moving target. I am blessed with speccing the best plasma up to 2k for my mother in law...From my research the pioneer Kuro range appear to be getting some rave reviews. so I was thinking about...

I've got a feeling that this is going to be one of those "Doh!" questions but .......When connecting a Sky HD box to my AV2 which type of Toslink cable should I use.I see there are Optical Digital versions and just Optical versions .......And can...
