With Sony recently rolling out the firmware update across their newer TVs to provide eArc and some HDMI 2 functionality, does anyone have experience with using a 2020 Sony TV with a Sonos Arc for Dolby Atmos sound? I'm now looking at purchasing the Sony 55XH9096 (XH9005 in UK) which is...

I'm looking to purchase a 4K Amazon Firestick. I'm currently based outside of the UK so will look to use VPN/DNS to get over geographical issues. Having no experience of Firesticks, does a Firestick purchased from the UK Amazon store come preloaded with UK catch-up apps or are they...

I'm looking to replace my 65" Panasonic 65VT50 which has served me well but is obviously not 4K. I've recently purchased a Sonos Arc and so am looking to use Dolby Atmos where the signal will be passed through the TV from my 4K TV box through to the sound bar. I was planning on the LG OLED...

Decided in the end it wasn't worth sending for repair again and instead bought a new Audiolab 8200CD player for the equivalent of around 450 GBP.

I purchased my Velodyne CHT-10Q subwoofer back in 2009 and in the last few months it has started to make a continuous low humming sound which is distracting in low noise situations. I've tried playing with the subwoofer settings and resetting the sound settings on my Amp but the humming sound...

I recently purchased an Audiolab 8200CD player to replace my problematic NAD C545BEE (see older post). The 1st model I received didn't play any CDs and the replacement model jumps when I lay a CD box on top of the player. With my old NAD and all previous players I have had, after inserting the...

3 years on my NAD C545BEE front panel problems have returned with my CD player no longer working. Should I go for another repair (last repair cost approx. 150GBP) or invest in a more reliable player?

I have a 1st generation PS3 which I use occasionally for playing Blu-Rays (2D and 3D) and DVDs. As my PS3 is set up for on line gaming, the sound (optical) goes through my amp to avoid lag and as such I understand that am I not getting the best sound out but am too lazy to connect the HDMI from...

My 14 month old Panasonic VT50 has been working perfectly until a few days ago when it has started making a continuous buzzing sound. I tried playing with the picture settings but it made no difference. I sit around 4.5m from the set and can hear the buzzing with my system at normal volume...

I have a Yamaha RX-V3900 which I use about 50% of the time for listening to music (two channel) and 50% for films/TV. I am looking to improve the quality of the two channel music. My music source is CDs through a NAD C545BEE CDP with the Yamaha Amp in pure direct mode and out to my...

I picked up the CD player today and it is back working again. They replaced the front panel (65GBP for the part) with the total cost being 1358 DKK (154 GBP) which isn't bad for Denmark.

Took mine downto my local hifi specialist (HiFi Klubben) in Copenhagen to try and get it repaired today. I've given them a maximum cost of 1500 DKK (150 GBP) to see what they can do.

I discovered exactly the same problem this morning with my 4 year old NAD C545BEE. The front buttons don’t respond anymore and with the remote it only plays a few seconds of a track before stopping. Doing some research, it appears that there was a design/manufacture issue with the front buttons...
