    Quiet subwoofers

    Hi, I've got a query on subwoofers and AVRs that I can't seem to get to the root of. A few years ago, I invested in a Atmos system with a Yamaha RV-A3050 and Dali Opticon speakers, including an Dali E12f subwoofer. Initially, I had the system set up in my living room as just 5.1 before moving...

    Switch for front speakers to flip between 5.1 AVR and stereo amp

    Thanks - I've pretty much exhaustedly gone throgh the menu options on the AVR. The bi-wire option is the only thing I haven't explored (after a thorough read of the manual, the only thing I hadn't considered)... so will do that when I'm back from holiday (either with separate HF and LF cables...

    Switch for front speakers to flip between 5.1 AVR and stereo amp

    Hi, I’m having some challenges with my Yamaha RX-V773 5.1 amp I recently picked up. It’s fine for 5.1, but two track stereo I’m finding that there is no bottom end and any recordings sourced from my turntable, cassette deck or CD player sound lifeless as compared for the NAD 325 I was using...

    Closest match to Symphony 400

    OK, so what's the point of this forum if not to ask questions? I'm not talking about budget, I'm talking about something that gives a similar sound to the Symphony 400. Surely that isn't too much to ask?

    Closest match to Symphony 400

    Hi, I'm upgrading my current system to 5.1 and would like to continue to make use of the existing Cambridge Audio Symphony 400 cable for the additional speakers I'm adding to the mix. It seems that Symphony 400 is no longer available (been to both Richer Sounds website and in store)...

    Connecting Cassette Deck to Yamaha AV

    Why is it the near impossible? RX-A730 and RX-V775 offer exactly what I was stating.

    Connecting Cassette Deck to Yamaha AV

    OK, thanks all... think I might hook it up to a different amp that I don't yet have. I've been impressed by Yamaha's, so am looking for something that has the following: 4K outputs Bluetooth and/or AirPlay AV out/line-out for cassette deck Video inputs for laserdisc and VHS Phono in 5.1 output...

    Connecting Cassette Deck to Yamaha AV

    Hi, I'm trying to get an output signal from my Yamaha RX-A3050 to go to a cassette deck to record a few things. There isn't an established analogue line-out it would seem, so the only option appears to be using the pre-out. I've connected up and despite trying a whole host of settings I'm...

    AV receiver recommendation

    Fair enough. Two sets of composite inputs would do the job like my Yamama RX-A3050, but would prefer not spend that much. Any ideas anyone?

    Playing surround sounds files on UBP-X800M2 off USB

    Hi, I have some surround sounds albums that I have in a variety of audio formats (Wav, Flac, Wv, etc.). I'm trying to play on my home cinema via Sony UBP-X800M2, but it is not recognising the files despite them being listed as compatible with the player. It seems the additional channels are...

    Cable for upgraded surround system

    Hi, I'm in the process of ordering some more cable for a surround system I'm upgrading from 5.1 to 5.1.4 for Atmos. I've got Dali Opticon LCRs in the rear, and am complimenting them with two pairs of Dali E50s for the ceiling. I have C-Screen in feeding the LCRs, should I invest in the same...

    4k blu-ray player recommendation

    Thanks. So if I buy a 4K UHD player that does not support HDR10+, can I still play discs encoded in this format or am I completly knackered?

    Upgrading to Dolby Atmos

    Yes, absolutely get that they come from ceiling speakers. What I was asking is will I be missing out on the full atmos experience if I am missing out on 2 rear and 2 (of the 4 ceiling speakers)?
