    Audio via optical from Samsung Q80R TV to Integra AVR

    Thanks all. Can you still use the Samsung remote to control the avr volume etc and the Netflix and Apple TV appa on the TV all work fine with the setup using HDMI?

    Audio via optical from Samsung Q80R TV to Integra AVR

    Hello good people. I have a Samsung Q80R QLED tv connected to my Integra 30.5 AV receiver via an optical cable. Whenever I change channels on DSTV (which is connected to the TV via HDMI) or when I pause a show, the audio cuts off for like 30 seconds before the amp ?finds the signal? again and...

    Samsung Q60R TV Range - Opinions Please

    We went in the store to buy the 75inch Q60R. Was also very disappointed to see that it was not a ?true QLED?. The edge lit LED was disappointing and the colour reproduction was quite dull. We ended up getting the 65 inch Q80R for a similar price. As the one guy from Samsung told me, the Q60 is...

    Becoming difficult in choosing the right TV.

    The local assembly of many of the brands means you don?t that much more for a Sammy or LG these days vs the Hisenses etc (which also is locally assembled). Personally I find the Samsung?s brighter and not that great when viewing at an angle. LG is a bit fuller but great for wide viewing angles...

    Advise needed

    Depends where you are located, take your amp and try it on the speakers. The PICO?s are good for a desktop or as surrounds but as decent fronts maybe consider getting the Zensor 1s if your interested in the Dali. I?ve not heard the FR-50 but the Bentley?s are getting pretty good reviews. For the...

    Sony 70inch LCD TV repairs

    Hello good people, My folks have a Sony 70inch LCD TV (KDL70R550A) which has given up after about 5 years. The panel and backlight comes on along with the Sony logo but pressing the input button yields no picture. My dad got someone to look at it and was told that the ?video card? had given up...

    Delay in switching sound modes on Onkyo NR626

    Hi there, I recently purchased an Onkyo NR626 receiver and noticed that when I change the sound scene modes (I.e. stereo on scroll through the movie modes etc) keeping the sound source the same, the receiver takes about 5-6 seconds before changing the mode. It basically goes silent for those...

    Advice on an audio setup for an open plan TV room

    @StuartH, thanks very much for the advice. Never really listened to a set of Paradigm Monitor 7's, but I will try look around to hear them before parting with my Randellas. Thanks again.
