    LCD TV Optical Out to Optical In on Dav-IS10 OPINIONS please.

    Hi Andrew, Just to let you know in case you were interested.... I read the Samsung manual and it says that the optical out on the LCD TV will transmit all of the audio in sources but only in stereo. So if i passed 5.1 in to the tv via HDMI only stereo would come out of the optical out. I...

    HDMI / V+ Connection problem

    Can I just point out that i think you are wrong 'rewerb' in your statement about the V+ widescreen setting. If you set the V+ box to '1080' rather than '1080 wide' your TV should detect the picture format and display the image correctly, ie if its a widescreen broadcast it will display in...

    LCD TV Optical Out to Optical In on Dav-IS10 OPINIONS please.

    Samsung LE40A656 40in - uneven backlighting is interfering with my viewing experince.. help!

    The lighter area of the screen seems to have evened out. Is that possible or am i just going blind? The TV has been on stand by now for 5 days and switched on in the evenings for viewing. [edit] whoops, just finished reading the thread you linked to professorhat maybe i am not blind.

    Samsung LE40A656 40in - uneven backlighting is interfering with my viewing experince.. help!

    When the what hifi team receive LCDs for review, do all of the reviewed screens have even backlighting? As the cost of the screen was £1100.00 (please don't start a debate about where i could have got it cheaper) I expect it to be darned good and this brighter area on the screen is quite...
