I know that Naim don`t recommend surge protectors for their hifi. However, I am having a pioneer plasma wall mounted in my tv room and the salesman strongly suggested I buy a surge protector. The one in the store was by Monster Cable and cost...

I am considering an AV system, but the front speakers would serve dual-purpose as stereo speakers too. Has anyone come across problems with the surround speakers microphoning in detriment to the sound when just the front two are in use? If so, is it...

Hi there,I'm at the moment at to start looking at putting my rear speakers back up in my new house. The cable must run in the walls, so needs to be thin ish, flexible to be routed around corners and in small spaces. It shouldn't be too expensive, as I...

Could anyone explain how to change the set of remote control codes on an AV2. Just picked it up from my dealer after PIC update and forgot to ask him for info on changing them. My Flash is set to 3 for the AV2 remote.TIATrevor

Hi there,Before I go out and buy a 50 quid cheapo DVD player (ironic really)...Can someone say what formats on DVD/Cd are supported on my DVD5 ? eg.VCD,SVCD,MP3,MPEG4,Divx,xVid ?Not that I would have any US TV series I desperately need to be catching...

i am looking to replace my cheapo dvd recorder i am looking at a unit between £300-£400 sony,panasonic,this is only for recording as i have an arcam for playback

I have an AV2 which I keep powered up all the time. My worry is that it becomes egg-fryingly hot and will eventually overheat. Is this cause for concern?

Hiya all,I've been trying to calibrate my AV2, the hardest thing as always is getting the blance right between music playback and movies.I've been reading the manual but cant seem to find the info on what i need.Does anyone know if you can set up...

Excuse my ignoance, but does anyone know what the situation with multiple point distribution of HDTV signals from Sky will be? Currently my Sky input (and the old VCR and the motorised satellite inputs) at the main TV are circulated through the RF...

I generally use my system for only listening to CDs. A recent visit from my father led me to hook up my Pioneer DVD to the 72 to watch a movie.The sound level was very low and to get a decent "Cinema Level" volume the 72 needed to be turned up to 1...

Hi, I have been a devoted naimee for about 4 years, and am really happy with my existing stereo system (112/150, CDX2, B&W 805s, Rega P25, stageline). In the future I expect I will embark upon further upgrades - probably beginning with the pre and power amp. However, I am now interested in home cinema - specfically to buy a decent 42/43 inch plasma and a 5.1 system. The layout of my lounge means that it would actually be very convenient to put the plasma on the wall in between where my...

Has anyone tried using 2 pairs of SBLs for an AV set-up and how do they compare with n-Sats? In aome ways, the secondhand bargain of the century (so long as you like the Naim sound), but are AV speakers somehow engineered differently?

Hello forumCan a N-Vi be used in a Naim stereo system…i.e. go though my 82 250 kans for front channels and use the N-vi DVD player and internal amps for centre and rear channels, is this possible?Thanks Mick

Hi NaimaholicsAt the moment i have a 52, CDS2, 250, AV1, 180, SBL and IBL Naim System.I thinking about my next upgrade - DVD, for my HomeCinema.DVD5 and AV2 vs. n-vi? I know that the n-vi CD part is not as good as the DVD5, but i have a CDS2, so i...

I'm aspiring to a good level AV system, in a separate room to the Audio system, but am reconciled to getting there gradually. At what level does the law of diminishing returns really take effect with power amps in this scenario? Due to some recent...

AV@NaimWhat a superb idea, to have a dedicated (in both senses) person from Naim helping to answer AV questions and clear up the "anorak jungle" of misconception.I fear you will have your work cut-out, but welcome to the Forum and I hope you ...

Dear All Any news on the update to the flash remote control to allow it to control the DVD5 and AV2???Neill

After doing alot of research, I believe this is the tv that I will go with. I compared it to many plasma sets and unless I want to spend big $ on a plasma ie $6000, this will be the best for me. I dont have to worry about plasma burn in or...

I have CD2, 82, 250 and 2 x hicap and Epos es22s. Plus various dvd players, surround amp etc. I am planning to purchase an n-Vi to replace the two (poor) dvd player and the yamaha surround sound amp. I am also wanting to set up a new system in another...

Mine refused to work for approx. 10 minutes this morning.I replaced the batteries with new and it still refused to work. Mesured the new batteries. I changed them again, nothing. Reversed the batteries. Then changed the batteries to the old ones,...

I noticed that Primare Systems (Sumiko Audio) manufactures a delay box for use in synchronizing audio with the video/speech on a movie or TV broadcast. My Sony DVD player runs into my Naim 2 channel system (CDX2, 202, 150x), so I use it for watching...

I just purchased a Bryston B4 SST amplifier to power a pair of Totem Model 1 signature (connected by Nordost speaker cable, model Blue Heaven) used for the home theatre setup. The sound is very dynamic and, very clear and loud. Bryston amps and Totem...
