    BMW Headunit replacement?

    Thx, will go searching again.  Others available are Calibra & Starsound - now that sounds like crappy stuff.  Will go look at SpeednSound again and see what I can get for R1500

    BMW Headunit replacement?

    Thanks RS4, but ja, that's way outa my league. Based on everyone's advice and suggestions I'll follow this route: Do the fronts with Infinity Splits.  Forget the rears at this stage.  Fit a sub & amp.  Now, my son has an extra sub, 12" Sansui 800W, that I can use so all I need to get are the...

    BMW Headunit replacement?

    Do it! Do it! ...... Yeez US, chill Boet, it's only speakers!!!  And definately not those mothers that you fitted.  Or the Infinity of Shonver - you guys must still be single with no kids.  They quoted me R750 a pair of Infinity X2 (front and rear) = R1500 plus R1500 for harnessess etc plus...

    BMW Headunit replacement?

    Julle is gerook!  No ways will I go close to the airbags, not that I'm that scared but that I haven't got the bucks to replace the airbags should they go off. Just to get closure re the headunit - I decided on the Sony GT424U @ R1499 (Game has special).  I would've liked the GT929U but that is...

    BMW Headunit replacement?

    Hi Guys I have a BMW (E46) which is fitted with a BMW Business Radio/Tape and CD Shuttle in the boot - the sound quality is cr*p and the first thing I have realised is that the BMW fitted speakers must be replaced - paper speakers are fitted I believe. I want great sound, want to be able to...

    Bitstream or PCM on Blu-ray Player?

    Sorry for the delay in response guys, but had a hectic few days lately. In other words, if I want to listen to uncompressed 5.1 PCM format (as opposed to DTS 5.1) all I have to do is select my audio input on the AVR from Digital Coax to HDMI (obviously enabling my HDMI audio On/Off). And...

    Bitstream or PCM on Blu-ray Player?

    SPDIF does not have enough bandwidth to carry surround PCM. You need an HDMI-enabled receiver for that.  - My Sony DG910 is HDMI (has four HDMI inputs.)  Can I then summise that those settings reflected previously are for setups where there is no HDMI-enabled receiver in place?  I have disabled...

    Bitstream or PCM on Blu-ray Player?

    According to my Panny BD10A manual, the Audio default settings are as follows, choice being Bitstream or PCM: a. Dolby Digital - Bitsream b. Dolby Digital Plus/True HD/DTS-HD - PCM. The manual then says that PCM will be output as 2 channels. c. DTS - Bitsream Why on earth would you prefer 2...

    Bass Shakers with Yamaha DSP-E492

    "It will probably handle it but it is your risk...." Correction Croaky, it's AV's risk..... "you are using the 492 purely as an amplifier"  Yes, that's all I ever wanted but I heard that by setting it up correctly one could have the 2 shakers work independantly - like stereo but shaking...
