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...

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...

I see the UK site has a dedicated thread for BD10/A owners and I'd like to know if there are any owners here in SA?

From the previous topic I concluded that I need a dedicated amp to drive these 2x 4 ohm 50W shakers so I decided to buy back my first HT AV from a friend - Yamaha DSP E492 & DDP2. Here are my questions in connecting the DSP to only drive my shakers: a.  I don't need to connect the DDP2 in this...

Has anybody installed bass shakers in their HT yet?  Comments? Or has any DIY junkie sucessfully built some?

Past two years I have bought 2 LG products - Nov 2006 I bought a LG DVD Recorder DR7622W and March 2007 a LG 32LC2R (LCD TV). Both these units packed up one month after the guarantee expired, so never will I buy any LG product again. I am struggling to get some info (spares) on the DVD...

My internet at work is via ADSL and at home it's via iBurst.  The past 2 weeks I have noticed a drastic decline in response time on both ISPs - everything is a lot slower.  Coupled to this I have also noticed that paypoint purchases with either your debit or credit cards are also not fuctioning...

With all this powershedding going on (today I only had 3.5 hours of work done) most folks are contemplating buying generators for a back-up.  Noisy stuff and reminds me of the old "plaas" scenario.  And I hate dieself fumes!! Anyhow, last week I received an email and this guy discussed...

Hi I saw the above audio formats on a blu-ray dvd.  Can someone please explain in plain English: a.  I thought PCM is stereo, so what is Linear PCM 5.1 then? b.  I have also seen "uncompressed" PCM 5.1 or was it 2.1 - And this means? c.  Somewhere on the forum I read that some folks prefer PCM...

I hope my terminolgy is correct, so here goes. From my Dstv the tv signal is sent to all the others rooms via normal tv-coax and splitters.  In my tv room I now have my old AVR which doesn't have the RF-in port so I first have to take the signal to the TV and from the TV to the AVR with RCA...

In my previous setup, I ran my DVD player (Pioneer DV533) via component direct to my projector (Panny AT900E) and the audio via digital coax to the AVR (Yamaha RX-V530) - pic and sound was great.  Then along came the blu-ray and hdmi hype. Realising it is time to upgrade my DVD player I...

After 5 yrs of reliable service I upgraded and replaced my Yamaha RX-V530 with the Sony STR-DG910.  From the onset, what value for money the Sony is and I'm glad I made this choice.  Now I'd like to balance/fine tune my front and centre speakers to compliment the Sony - if necessary. 1.  What I...

As a new member to the SA avforums.co.za (I was getting tired of the Yanks and Souties websites), I'd appreciate some advice from the members. I have recently upgraded to a LCD projector and blu-ray player and now wish to do the same with my AV reciever.  Question is, which AV receiver is the best...
