I have no clue what is going on with this but it temporarily was working via the optical input but when I came out of it and then tried to go back in I got no output!

You're right it is only HDMI pass-through. I have the Cambridge Audio Magic 6 Streamer and it does have RCA phono outputs. The TV (Samsung UE46F8000) has a 3.5mm video in jack so I thought that by connecting the streamer RCA outputs to the phono left and right inputs on the TV it would work (I...

Sorted. On the soundbar I had to turn "HDMI Control" to "ON". I can now listen to TV, Bluray and Sky via headphones. However, I now need to work out how to listen to my streamer which is connected via optical lead. I have selected the Optical input on the soundbar and then put the soundbar...

Hi, thanks for your reply. You're on the right track as I spoke with Yamaha today and they said that if I put the soundbar into standby mode the audio should be pushed through to the TV's speakers and then I could plug the headphones into the headphone socket on the TV. However, when I put the...

Just had a new TV / Sound System installed and to compliment it I went out and bought a pair of Sennheiser RS180 headphones. However, I can't seem to work out how to connect them to my soundbar as all the connections are input and there is no output or headphone socket. The sound bar is a...

Ed - I posed a further question here http://www.whathifi.com/forum/home-cinema/advice-re-home-cinema-system-please regarding the CA 752BD and a Yamaha Soundbar that I plan to use it with. Will this soundbar do it justice? I can't go the route of separates. Is there any plans by CA to develop...

ED - Thanks for your reply. Does the 752 have the same capabilities as the Stream Magic 6? I'm not clear on the differences between the two other than that the 752 plays discs.

I see that the CA Blu-Ray player has networking capabilities and can be operated via an app. Can it do the same as the Stream Magic product? If it can be connected wirelessly what's the difference between the two (other than the 752BD plays discs!)

The Sonos Playbar makes a lot of reference to its ability to stream music especially from the likes of Spotify. If music is more your preference then maybe a soundbar with streaming ability will be more suitable?

Hi, My wife is not keen on floor standing speakers and neither does she want wires trailing around the living room so the compromise is to have a soundbar. The TV and soundbar will be wall mounted. I would appreciate your advice on the following system I am looking at. Samsung UE46F8000...

Thanks for the explanation. Shame it can't stream Spotify as this is a requirement for when I upgrade my system.

There is a review on this item that states "The best streamer we've heard" The review later states "It's not cheap and lacks streaming services" So can it stream or not and if it can what are streaming services if it's not streaming??

Hi, A friend has a Panasonic DMR-HW120 HDD Recorder. He wants to set it up so that he can view the output through either his main TV or the kitchen TV or both simultaneoulsy. He connected the HDMI from the unit to his main TV and that works fine. He then ran a cable from the Panasonic RF out...

Ive just bought new speakers(Morduant Short Alumni 2)and coupled them up with my existing amp only to find that they don`t sound as loud as the previous ones. Is this normal? I am looking to change the amp which is 65w to a 50w. Does it follow that the speakers will then sound even quieter...

Hi Soulton, Thanks for your reply and advice. Lots of info to digest and a bit more research required on my part. Cheers for the help.
