I'm wanting to get the Yamaha YHT-S400 for my brother's 40th and I especially liked this model as it didn't have satellite speakers with wires. Anyone have any experience with this type of front bar HT system?

Blimey, I'm going to check mine when I get home. When I ran the Audyssey calibaration it (according to me) incorrectly set the crossover frequency for the LFE channel. For example, my new Polk Audio center CSi A4's Overall Frequency Response is 55Hz-27kHz. This to me means that I should set...

Just take the unit back to Singlechoice and get them to fix it. They're pretty good at doing this in the Randburg repair center. You say it's new so get on your horse.

The 705 has a serial port. Can't you connect via that and reset things. You'll need a USB to serial converter and then a serial cable with a male end. Not sure what you do afterwards but essentially it's the same as getting into a router/firewall etc. I think you also need a dongle of sorts but...

Thanks for the link Peter. My Samsung has the latest firmware (Oct 2010) but it refuses to play .mkv or .mp3 via DLNA where the source is either a FreeNAS box, my Samsung Galaxy phone or Windows 7. I can only get .mkv files to play if I insert a flash disk or plug in an external drive into the...

Thanks Enigma, I will check this out. Much appreciated.

So what you're both saying is that I don't need to stress about having a gig NIC? I suppose it is better though when copying new stuff to the storage. I just watched a C200 review on Youtube where they said they could only get 100mb out of the NIC. I must say, the Xtreamer PRO looks very...

Right, had a look at the Xtreamer PRO. Looks pretty good actually. Especially for that price. The one thing I just don't get is this quote from their website; Does this mean I would still need to get another Media server? If one already has a media center of sorts running Tversity or PS3 or...

Ok so I've spent the last two months googling this very topic and I'm now even more confused than before. I've just bought a new AVR from goneten and I would like to hook up everything through that. I would like to achieve the following; 1. Stream audio (mp3, m4a, wav, flac etc) through the...

Thanks Scrat.

So if one wanted jitter-free playbacks of say 720p or 1080p .mkv files, what software would you recommend? Tversity or similar?

Who sells them here?

That's why most people choose xtraview when buying this decoder.

It's a bit like saying why would anyone want to have kids when they are known for having behaviour problems. If you like the more natural movie like look of Plasma and the better picture for sports then just manage the image burn issue. Get one of those burn-in DVDs and play it for the first...

Thanks dotVIBE, you've just convinced me to keep my 6CD shuttle although unfortunately it will have to plug into my new AVR :-(

Would the same advice apply to playing DVDs on a Blu-Ray player?

So I still don't know if I need to be looking for the model that has ethernet or if I can stream media from my FreeNAS via the Blu-Ray (which has a NIC)? Would I need a dedicated media center instead? Like Squeezbox?

Thanks goneten.

Question for goneten Seeing that you sell the Onkyo range, have the issues on the TX-SR608 been sorted out in terms of the HDMI handshake problems? Specifically in relation to the HDMI video signals getting stuck on either pass-through or upscale. Not sure I've termed this correctly but it's...
