In terms of these kind of situations it is best to see a lawyer...Only thing is that it will cost your R 1000 or R2000 just to be heard out....well that was my past experiences . i do however find it out that the vehicle has not been impounded , If I was the owner and the car was truly stolen I...

@kamikazi  ...so I gather ultimately a product may or may not have issues...as a consumer the most important point is to buy a product that is backed up by both manufacturer and distributor.. The current status quo does not leave me as a consumer with much comfort...who is Ultimately to blame...

It would be interesting to get a failure index on AV equipment. I personally think that certain manufactures do not take the time in building robust equipment  and even in the event that they find equipment issues after production ; most just wont recall their products and improve on the design...

Thanks for the info...I was thinking along the handshaking issues...in my previous experiences with HDMI connectivity had issues with handshaking.

If Ster-Kinekor a gona be showing movies at most 2K and at best 4k in their cinemas which are sizing up at 160 Gb. What hope then do consumers have of accessing such content at home. Dont even get the point for retailers to be selling 4K TV's at R 160 K up to R 480 K for an 85 inch without...

Thanks for the clarity, just wanted to confirm. I thought that the receiver would be the one decoding the audio and that the Pc was merely transporting the data bits. I tried both scenario's of playing the Mp3's via DLNA on the receiver and plugging  the usb directly and the sound quality was...

Question...If you are playing Flac/MP3 or any other form of digital music on your receiver using DLNA is the audio streamed across where it is decoded by the pc/server it is located on or is the data bits read by the receiver then decoded by the DAC on the receiver?

I have a collection of MP3's from back in the day stored on my server which up to recently I used to enjoy playing . I used to play them on the old Onkyo 608 and even the 609 via DLNA over the network . I then purchased an Onkyo TX-NR616 and tried playing the same old MP3's on it and the sound...

Any opinions on the Samsung Plasma 3d PS51E490 . I see its on special at R 7500 and comes with four 3d Glasses . Was looking to buy a 3D tv later this year but thought perhaps I could replace my 40 Inch Sony LCD with the samsung. I am not really interested in the Internet features,aesthetics...

Hopefully it was the movie sound  track and the new sound system that was the issue...maybe after some time the sound will improve and some1 will calibrate it properly. I have always watched all the big blockbusters at iL Grande even go as far as driving 60 Km single trip because of the quality...
