Home Theatre

Is it intended to introduce firmware upgrades to enable nVi to play high definition DVDs or will this require hardware changes?

My VCR has finally died so I think its time to make the switch to a DVD rec machine.I'm thinking I should get one with a hard disk that does not have to be huge (80GB is fine). My reason for wanting the HDD is I want the time slip feature.My real...

To have the best of both worlds is a 2 box i.e. a DVD5 and a CDS3, integrated into a Home Theatre system,a good compromise?Is it do-able?The rationale is to avoid sacrificing audio quality of CD on the altar of 5.1 audio for film.......Present set-up...

Can you connect a seperate DAC from a N vi to a 52?What cables would I need?Is it likely to make a difference?ThanksNeil

I have now been listening for two weeks and can confirm that the N vi/300 has improved markedly over my previous Pioneer 757/AV2/250/175.Picture and sound are much improved. Not saying it is better than the AV2, I would need to use a DVD 5 with the...

Hi allI am contemplating getting an n-Vi to update my embryonic Home Theatre set up. Currently I have an Arcam DV79 DVD player and Arcam AVR250 receiver. These are connected to an old set of Monitor Audio MA20SEs as fronts an MA centre with smallest...

I've got a bit of a problem with the connections for my AV2 and Toshiba HD-A1.It all works fine with Coax but to try out Dolby TrueHD need to us the 5.1 outputs on it.I've got 4 Phono>Din and 2 Phono>Din leads and have connected it all up. With...

The arrival of the latest TI DLP chip has allowed reasonable price projectors with 1080p scaling.THis prompted me to get an INFOCUS IN76 which does an excellent job. The questions I am wrestling with right now are:1) Currently I have a Denon 2900 DVD...

Does anyone have any experience with Media Centre PC's?Assuming a PC costing ~£750 with a quality graphic (DVI) and soundcard (Co-ax and 5.1 out) along with wireless networking and Windows Media Centre. How does this compare with a stand alone...

hi all,can anyone tell me the best way to connect the xbox 360 to lcd tv and processor ?i would guess component video to tv BUT not sure on the processor connection for 5.1 surround.cheers, scotty

Is a user able to impact the range of volume available from the AV2? I have been using the AV2 sending the front channels through an NAC52 and have had plenty of volume available from the front channels (with the volume on the 52 set close to 12...

The subject is probably misleading.For a long time I have been deciding whether to spend my money on more or better naim or on a flat panel tv. For once, my decision went against Naim... In the end, I got...

What does unity-gain input (for an AV2/preamp) mean?What I am confused aboutis how best to balance the differing requirements of CD versus DVD home theatre.I dont want to sacrifice quality of audio (ie my CDs)for 5.1 cinema like experience.Is there...

Guys, I am thinking of going flat panel.Size of TV i'm looking for at 37" to 45"Focus is on 40"Which should I consider. All are first class manufaturers.Sharp make their own and have a reputation as being the best LCD manufacturers from day 1.Sony's...

Yes, my n-Vi of all you that have one.With all the negatives I thought I'd share a positive experience.My system pioneer dvd656,kenwood kr-v9090,Castle Inversion 80 fronts, boston 100c centre and canon mushroom looking things as surrounds, rel q-50...

What is is current status of Plasma and LCD pictures. I have an old Sony Triniton set and have not so far been very impressed by Plasma screens, and to an even lesser extent,LCD screens. Yesterday I saw parts of an Ice Age DVD and some football on...

I have a nap 150/nap 175v cinema set up.Is it sensible to upgrade the 150 to a 250 power amp ,with a medium term view to upgrade the front L/R speakera.Presently I have B&W CM2s,AV2,DVD5....and a big plasma screen.I also listen to music and am...

If I trade in my CDX2, NAC 102, NAP 180, NAPSC and HICAP, for the new N-vi, will it sound nearly as good or not even close ?

Who swap from his stereo setup to the n-Vi box.for example; who had a 5 serie ( like mine:112x/150x/CD5x/FC2/Headline ) and found it a good choice or a bad choice?Yes i know you must listen/demo the n-Vi bud that's for a moment ( one or two days )Is...

I have ordered a sony 860 dvd recorder (can't remember the rest of the code bar the 860 bit). Wondering if it will be better at replaying dvds than my philips dvd963sa dvd player? Both would be connected to my panasonic crt tv via component cables....

Hi all i am considering an N-vi to add to my system and just wondered if everyone who owns one is using Naca5 or an alternative speaker cable as this might be a bit of a nightmare to install considering all the channels involved and the prospect of...

Does anyone have any experience of these? Are they any good?I am interested in the X series because of the 1920 x 1080 resolution.Supplementary question re the n-Vi - the Naim website says "A proposed scaler/video processor upgrade will give...

....or is it better to use monoaural 145s with a preamp eg 202?..this follows on from my earlier question regarding upgrading 150 to 250 power amp

Hi allI don't know if this should be placed here or in the Home Theatre section. If it is in the wrong section then I apologize.I'm under pressure from my good lady to reduce the black box count. I figured I could replace my Arcam DV79 DVD player and...
