Home Theatre

Dear All,In the past I've posted about burning DVDA. Thought I'd do a more detailed briefing ...if nothing else it will be a aide memoir for me!!As the likelyhood of commercial DVDA disappears into the sunset I thought I'd do a more detailed post on...

Dear All,I'm thinking of getting a new TV that will be "HD ready" What does this mean exactly?does it mean:1) I can pick up the HD signal but won't necessarily get the HD quality on screen. I'm thinking that just because a TV is HD ready does not...

I've been asked to get one of these for my brother in law who is recovering from a hip operation and needs a TV in his bed room. I know it's hardly home theatre but you may be able to help.From my own perspective I would want autoformat and 100HZ...

Does anyone know if it is technically possible for a DVD5 to output a 576i signal via DVI if the software inside it permitted? I know Arcam and others have done it via HDMI, but on the other side I know HDMI and DVI have subtle differences, so just...

If you are a Blues fan dont miss Crossroads guitar festival on the Arts channel, stunning picture shame it wasnt in 5.1 but still sounded great. Lots of stuff not seen on the DVD and the pq is much better

I'm pretty new to AV, and was wondering if anyone had a link to a site that could give some insite to 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, DTS, etc...etc.I was just looking for something to do surround front/rear/center (and maybe a sub). I'm already using a nait5 for...

Dear All,John at Rayleigh Hifi in Southend has just loaned to me the new Hi-line interconect. As I use my DVD5 in stereo via the analogue outputs I thought the Hi-line was worth a try. From the start it is awesome, it will be a late night tonight as I...

My current system is LP12/52/250.2/Obelisks for stereo and Pioneer 757/AV2/175 to provide AV.I realise that the weak link is the Pioneer and that I do not have a decent source for CD playback.The obvious solution would be the DVD 5, but I am put off...

Adam, Some chap wrote a posting re the DVD5 & the Linn Unidisc. seems to have been removed, or I'm just too tired. If so.....why? Martin

At the weekend I bought myself a Samsung LE32R73, which is a 32 inch lcd HD TV.Got it home pluged the home choice into the scart plug and the dvd into the composite plug and all was well.Obvioulsy I wanted to try and make the most of the picture...

Hi everyone, first post here so be kind.... I am about to move home and want to upgrade my cinema/music system. The house I am moving to is a small-ish cottage in which there is only one room 20 x 10ft available for hifi & cinema . I would have thought that a n-vi would suit my needs entirely, I have long been an admirer of Naim goods but have never shelled out.. I have two questions - In the property the lcd display will have to go above the fireplace, which is centered on the shortest...

I'm currently using my DVD5 to watch films in stereo through my 282/250 using the analogue outputs, but whenever I play a DVD that hasn't got 2 channel sound encoded on the disc, the sound is pretty awful. Does anyone know if this is a bug in the DVD5...

Can anyone help me identify the cable I need to output from Analogue 3 to my pre? I used to do this before, and I thought the cable was a thin grey type with a purple band at the input end, but I can’t find that cable anywhere – maybe I...

Anyone know the code to do this? I've tried the code listed on here but no joy. Anyone programmed one?

Does anyone know if it is possible for an n-Vi to drive and NAP250-2 direct from it's front preouts or does the preout have to go via a preamp set to unity gain?

My system consist of a Naim CD5i CDP, Sony SACD DVDP, Arcam AVP-700 pre-processor, Outlaw five channel amp, a couple of LDP's, and a VCR.I have plenty of inputs on my TV to control my video sources, so I was wanting to get your thoughts about...

Just had Sky HD installed, everything works fine, the picture via HD is stunning!However, i don't get any sound whilst watching HD channels via the optical out into my AV amp but i do when watching non HD channels?!Ive contacted Sky who informed me...

Not long to go now before we'll have HD-DVD to play with. Initial prices are much lower than expected, which is a nice surprise. Toshiba look to be getting the ball rolling with their HD-A1 player at $499. You can visit the Toshiba HD-DVD website to...

Well, if none of you guys wants to start a new thread for the new year ...Keep the photos coming!

Is it posible to bi-amp with the n-Vi?wearas 5 channel are. two for my tweeter and two for my woofer.Somebody try it already?

Hi, does anyone know a UK dealer who stocks the Austrian Hutter HiFi furniture range? Thanks in advance.Greg

Can anyone tell me the 4 digit code that controls a Naim DVD5. I want to eliminate another remote control (ie the Naim DVD remote in addition to the Naim Narcom, Sky, and TV). My Sony TV remote will control the TV,DVD & VCR but unsurprisingly their handbook does not list the code for a Naim DVD player!! Thanks in anticipation Geoff

hi all,what non naim dvd player are you using ?ive heard good reports on the arcam player.and the denon . is it really necessary to spend more than a grand on a new machine these days.?your thoughts please.regards, scotty

My dealer came round today to install the n-Vi. We used the speakers from the 'old' set-up; NHT 2.5s for the front, 1.5s for the rear, an NHT center and a REL Storm III sub. I'm pretty happy with the sound. As I sold my CDSII/252/2*250/SBL setup, the...

Is there any possibility (currently or planned) to switch on the n-Vi display completely?For some purposes it is really bothering that the display is always disabled after two minutes...
