    Onkyo TX-NR626 Picture Problem

    Hi again. It should take a good few weeks for it to get better. It also improves as the amp warms up. It has never completely gone away on my amp but i have got used to it. I have no choice as i need to run it through the amp to get hd soundtracks off bluray. If you have two outputs on your...

    Onkyo TX-NR626 Picture Problem

    Hi there. Welcome to the forum. I have experienced the same problem with HDMI pass through on my 606. I must admit im quite surprised that they havent improved the hdmi circuitry over 4 generations of amps. I can tell you that this effect gets less with use although it has never quite...

    Is my tv up to the job??

    No need to worry your tv should be able to display 60 hz material correctly. Most tvs can. The xbox 360 does a test for 60 hz material so if your tv can display that correctly you should be fine. Remember there were 60 fps games on the 360 too. Hope that helps.

    Which 2nd hand floorstanders under £400?

    Hi Krish. I would suggest some vienna acoustics bach or perhaps pro ac studio 125. Both nice smooth, warm sound with great soundstage. They both have soft dome tweeters so nice sweet treble is the order of the day. I have heard both with the amp you have purchased and was a good match. I used to...

    Hi everyone. Im quite interested in the arcam a19 for my next hifi but I am wondering whether Arcam plan on releasing a new cd player to match their new amp. A cd 19 perhaps? Can anyone shed light on whether this is in the pipeline?
