I'm considering purchasing either a Panasonic TH-50PX75U or a TH-50PH9UK As far as I can tell, these are essentially the same unit, except that the PH9UK lacks a tuner and does not come with HDMI inputs (these can be added later). A tuner is not...

A recent move of the hifi and AV has started thoughts of the possible use of a projector in the new room. This is certainly new territory for me and recent research has resulted in the usual laundry list of features and specs to make decisions on....

I have nSystem, nVi and projector going in new house. Wife insists on all cable being hidden and she's currently a bit grumpy with me - just informed me that the naca5 in the old house in front of the fireplace drove her nuts because in the way,...

Hi all I had to unplug my TV and DVD on Saturday morning. Last night when I reconnected them to the mains and the aerial socket I had lost ITV,Channels 4 & 5 and ITV2. I ran the DVB Autotune on both my Panasonic 42" Plasma and the matching HDD/DVD machine. They both scanned and tuned channels 1& 2 then skipped to Channel 7 (BBC3). I also seem to be missing some BBC DAB stations. Have my devices gone haywire or is there a problem at the transmitter? I am i Sunbury on Thames, using a communal...

The set-up is an all Naim one of DVD5, AV2, 200,175, Allae fronts, Axess centre, NSats/stands rears and an N-Sub. Just added the DVD5 recently (upgrade from an Arcam DV88). Had problems with the DVD5 DVI settings originally (now resolved), but just...

Hi there, It's been a while, I bought the Sony RDR-HXD860 for a couple of months, it seems a very good and caplable DVD player and recorder.But the loading is just very annoying comapre to other sony DVD player (I used one before). When you switch on,...

Anyone with experience or comment to make, been doing some homework and the technology looks fascinating. Also I believe Naim use a Sim (i think) set for demo'sMartin

Hi all,I'm considering getting a 'Universal' (hate the use of that word in this context, but never mind) remote control (does it really work on Jupiter?).The Harman Kardon TC30 seems to be highly rated, although i'm not sure Naim gear will feature on...

Help!I think I am going madI have bought a Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV with 2 HDMI inputs (one is fed by SKY HD) and the other is connected via wireworld ultraviolet cable to a DVD 5 (DVI to HDMI)I am getting a picture that flicks for a split second on...

found a link on the av-forums on a review for the above plasma, it stated that this could be the best picture they had seen on a 42" plasma, but then goes on to say that unless you sit 3 feet away from the screen you would be hard pressed to notice...

Hi. Contemplating an upgrade to my CD5i and wonder if I am better off purchasing a used DVD5 or a dealer demo CD5x (the DVD5 being the slightly more expensive option).Primary reason for upgrade is CD playback, as I find the CD5i can be a little harsh...

Has anybody got any recomendations for an in wall centre speaker that would be a good match for my proac future point five speakers which have ribbon tweeters.Cheers.

Got the Panasonic plasma back with a new screen/digital board (apparently) - see previous thread. It works fine on all other settings but when I connected the DVD5 up (carefully, with power off), same thing - just a screen of white/pink noise via DVI...

Looking to buy a new Plasma / LCD as it's been suggested my five year old panasonic CRT flat screen is looking dated. I was thinking 32" to 37" no bigger. But i went looking the other day and to be honest i got bored of looking - so i'm relying on...

I ordered the Axess for the match with my SL2, have been waiting for 1 month and just got notified that there is no stock, and no schedule on when the Axess will be avilable. Anyone know whether the Axess is out of production? shall I keep waiting or...

Since I have replaced Sky+ with Sky HD I have generally been delighted but there is one niggle that I'm wondering whether I can fix.I used to be able to set the TV picture to automatically switch between 4:3 and 16:9 depending on the programme format....

I live in Spain and get good quality "Freeview" via a Pace Sky digibox and a 1.3 meter dish. I don't want to pay a Sky subscription.Is it worth getting a Pace or Humax HD box if necessary with Dragon CAM / C.I. Module? Has anyone any experience of...

Read about this a week or so ago.If you go to the Linn site you can download high def audio files, up to 96KHz 24bit flac.For instance they have the Messiah at 24bit 88KHz.This means you can download the file and burn your own DVD-A ....which you can...

Does anyone use a Harmony universal remote? I can no longer log in to their web page that allows you to update the remote. It keeps giving me "session timed out". I was just wondering if anyone else had problems in this regard?Up until around Jan this...

If you upgrade from Sky + to Sky HD, do you need a different Sky dish?RegardsPB

Hi All,I have been enjoying the board for a few weeks in anticipation of receiving an N-Vi I now have on test (Thanks Naim and Tom Tom Audio). It really is an amazing product and has surprised even my cynical mates with its performance.The crux of...
