I've just got a 32" LCD and I see its standby power consumption is 1W (compared to 160W when its on). To me this standby consumption sounds pretty low thereby not worth turning it off at the wall over night?Comments please.taB

Folks - read a review of the n-Vi in Hi-fi World and the reviewer mentioned this setting. I've disabled all my video outputs other then DVI, but can't find the disable video processing option in the menu ??ThanksJames

Can i use one with the n-Vi as it doesnt take direct commands but needs to cycle through menus to select different modes / input ??I want to be able to sequence a number of commands, ie turn on plasma, turn on cable box, turn on n-vi and select cable...

Hello all, I am currently in the process of composing a system setup of HiFi components. I would like to have some advice from all of you in what system is best suitable for my wishes. First of all I am not married to Naim but would like to explore if...

Hi,Does anyone have experience of these stands?I am looking at one of their 'closed' series unit to house my n-Vi, Topfield PVR and Centre with my Panny 37" plasma on top. They are the closest thing I have seen to a proper piece of furniture which is...

Hi all,One of my nippers has driven over my AV2 remote control (narcom?) with a tank and gone on to put it down the loo. Can I get a replacement direct from Naim and if so approx cost?Thanksmiles

Will the n-Vi play the new format blue ray ?Or will that be possible by a PIC upgrade?

Hi everyone,Well I went racing home last night with my 175 in the back of the car all excited. Got everything hooked up and got the Nait5i running in unity gain mode on the AV input ready to be used properly (I was waiting on a modified Chord...

Hello everybody,I own a dvd5 and an av2 and was curious about a few things about connecting none-Naim electronics and subwoofers to the AV2.Now, I understand that the power supply/mains supply is very important and also the 'quality' of the...

Like to get an impression on this combo from someone who has it in their home...Marc

Hi All,Wondered what people thought about mating a pair of WB arcs to an n-Vi? I am looking for a really good clean sound in a fairly compact room. I currently run a pair of Royd Doublets but can't find a centre to match.Do people think the WBs are...

Hi,Does anyone have any experience with programming one of these to operate an n-Vi? After 2 evenings of increasing stress I have just found that I need to reset the remote using the av then open, subt number 1 reset routine. I am not sure if the...

Hi all,I've come in tonight and tried to control the AV2 with the remote, but it's refusing to respond?I've pressed "AV" on the remote and then all the usual buttons ("Input", "AV Volume" etc) and it's not responding.The remote is working with the DVD...

Feedback appreciated.My three week old AV2 started running warm a couple of days ago - not too hot to touch but definitely warm, and in stark contrast to my CD5 / NAC 112 / FC 2 / NAP 150 none of which ever feel appreciably warm to the touch. The...

The time has come (partly because I have the cash, but also because our current CRT one is dying - brightness will drop to nothing every 5 minutes or so, which is very boring), to replace the TV.Having had a glance online, I'm thinking of something...

As the heading says, can the SCART output socket of an n-Vi currently be used as an input so that I can then pass Sky RGB through it and then into my TV via HDMI or Component? My Panasonic DVDR/HDD can do it (RGB in and out via HDMI or Component) so...

I currently feed the front outputs of the Marantz 4300 AV amp to the 102 and have noticed a considerable humming noise coming through the front speakers when selecting the AV. I know its the AV as when it is fully turned off, the hum subsides. As the...

Hi there,I am a very happy Naim AV system user today, however, as I've not upgraded anything for about 9 months now I'd value other peoples opinion on what I could do to improve my system.Current system is:Naim DVD5Naim AV2Front: NAP250 OliveCentre:...

Hi everyone, Do you think there would be any benefit in having an extra NAP 150 just to power my n-Cent? (Usually powered from a NAP V175 with a NAP 150 doing the fronts)ThanksDan

I friend of mine swears by active in his home theatre system, owing to speed etc. He is using active ATC speakers, but it made me wonder about an active Naim system. How many boxes would you end up with? Conceivably, a 5 speaker set of 3-ways could...
