Thanks for your answer Andy, looking forward to the review even though the DN850 does not feature the third HDMI output that its older brother carries. Maybe you can keep these questions in mind for your review when Sony finally provides you the DN1050.

The first (and only) article on Sony's new amp replacing the successful DN1040 first appeared on this site in April with an estimated mid-May launch. It's been awfully quiet for this receiver; is it out yet in the UK? Is WHF planning to do a proper review on the amp anytime soon? In case anyone...

My TV is the Sony W905A and searching through several forums, I wasn't able to get a definitive answer on whether the TV will passthough DTS and DTS MA signals. Asking my local Sony Centre was of no help since they also had no idea and were looking at the product manuals trying to find an aswer...

If nobody has a better idea, you'll have to troubleshoot to identify the root cause. Have you tried connecting the rear cable speakers to the front ones to see whether the problem remains or not? If the problem is still there, then your front speakers are fine and the problem most certainly...

Guys, anyone?

Hi all, I'm interested in the Yamaha YAS101 soundbar since it's a decent, slim and elegant solution for my second TV room. I am currently passing video and audio from my AVR (located in the living room) through an HDMI cable running inwall to my second TV in the bedroom. Problem is, I don't...

I'm thinking of purchasing a W9 for the living room and a W8 for the bedroom but have a really hard time finding info about standard VESA mount compatibility for either of these models. Sony's website does not offer any info regarding the matter and simply put, I don't trust the local Sony...

Hi DistortedVision. I'm not located in the UK but in Athens, Greece :) What I can confirm however is that the W9 series has yet to appear here as well, whereas the W8 has been readily available for a couple of weeks now. I asked my local Sony Centre about the availability of W9 and they gave...

Thanks sound10, you surely helped! I also read the first review about the W9 and have the same reservations as you regarding the poor viewing angles. This could be the deal breaker for me as well. The set is intended to be used as the living room TV, and it's really important that the viewing...

Hi all, pretty much what the title says. I'm out for a new Sony TV and while still waiting for reviews to come in for both models, I can't decide between the two. I know the major difference between the two displays is the new Triluminos technology that the W9x series carries, but would you...

Thanks to all. Yep, obviously ebay was the first place I looked but wasn't able to find what i was looking for. Oh well, keep looking!

Hi all, so I'm moving to a bigger place and I'll probably be needing floorstands for my rear B&W M1 satellite speakers (generation 1, pre-2012). The problem is that i can't seem to locate the original floorstands anywhere, the gen 2 (current) M1 floorstands are incompatible with gen 1 and even...

I agree Matthew; the reason I started thinking about a bluray recorder is the fact that in my country (Greece), digital broadcasting is going live nationwide in a few months and my old dvd recorder (rdr-hx710) is equipped with an analogue tuner only. I was looking for a way to be able to record...

exactly!

Looking at the relevant post regarding Sony's upcoming TV and Bluray range, I can't help but notice that there doesn't seem to be any news for a bluray recorder range. Nothing is mentioned in Sony's UK site either. Does anyone have any info?
