Hi, Just bought a 2nd hand nVi in order to set up a home theatre. So far I also have a pair of nSats but that is it. I am looking to build up the rest of the system and a few questions occurred to me. Guess I should have answered them before I started...

I am considering ripping my CD's to computer and streaming it to the N-Vi's DAC via either the co-axial or optical input. I believe the Apple TV streamer allows me to do that. Has anyone tried this setup? How does it sound?

We have a Panasonic DMR-EX75EB-S dvd player/recorder hooked up to a Panasonic LCD TV via HDMI cable and scart. An annoying feature is when we sometimes record TV programmes using the "TV guide" function the recording is cut short at the end, ie: the...

Hi,I have just picked up a rather cheap Panasonic AE100 SD projector with component, RGB through HD15, S video and regular RCA connectors. Just in time for the Rugby World Cup!Anyway, I want to connect a BT Vision box using RGB HD15 to scart. Any...

Hi lads!Due to the arrival of the 500 late last year, the 250 got moved from DBLs in the front to the IBLs in the back. Now the NAPV 175 has only to feed the Axent.The next upgrade is obviously to change the 3 channel 175 to a 145 mono for the center....

have a hde1 hd-dvd player plugged into my n-vi via optical connection, when i playback any hd disc it only ever shows dts 321 on the display, i can;t select dd 5-1 even if the disc has no dts soundtrack, this does not make any sence to me, any ideas ?

Hi Guys,Just wondering, besides adding the AV2 and NAP175 to my existing naim stereo system (282/scap2/250.2), is there another option to get 5.1 channels? Is it true that I can also achieve this by just adding the n-vi to my stereo set up. It would...

Any suggestion, Only want to spend £150!Help is appreciated.

Hi,Just wondering if people have any views on where the ambient lighting works well in a rectangular room for home cinema with a projector. I dont have any dimming or special lighting. I was thinking of having two ikea uplighters on the far left and...

Hi folks! Just after a bit of advice. About 4 weeks ago I purchased a Samsung R87 series 32" lcd screen and i'm well happy with the picture quality of it. However, i seem to be getting blocks of stuck pixels in the same 2-3 square inches of the screen...

Silly question time:Can an n-Vi be used with just two speakers in 2.1 mode or does it need a full brace of speakers to function?The reason being that I a considering one as a single box solution for music and DVD.Jono

Hi All, I am planning to set up a home AV system for my duaghter. Sound (CD) replay quality is more important than DVD. I dont think surround sound is an absolute requirement to start with at least. Current system Arcam Alpha CDP, Naim CB 42/110 Lin...

Newby questions, I'm afraid.1/ What's the difference between Sony Wega and Sony Bravia? I have a Sony Wega (KDL-32MRX1) with which I'm v happy, but I only seem to read about Bravias these days. Are the Wegas discontinued? I ask because my in-laws are...

Ok so I'm thinking about a NAIM AV processor + Power amp(s) (enough to fire up a massive pair of ineffecient vintage Etude Mp1 front speakers ...Wharfedale Diamond 3 rears + a Ruark Vita Sub)current centre speaker is a old Gale model which will be...

Dear Friends, A question that has always had me shaking my head is this. If normal stereo can so perfectly represent a phantom centre to the sound, why do we need a five speaker set to make cinema sound? [... ignoring the sub of course]. Many will be taking the HT thing into a piggy back with a very fine stereo pair of gramophone based speakers for front left and right, which are already nicely set up to music. Simply by adding a pair of even modest side/rear channel speakers, and leaving...

Hey everyone. I am in the process of downgrading from the Naim AV2 to an Arcam AVR-300 for various reasons and I am having a problem calibrating my speakers. This afternoon, I tried out an Arcam AVR-300 along with my Nait 5i and Naim Ariva speakers...
