Info is very scarce on this system. It looks gorgeous but I'm rather more intersted in what is going on beneath the plastic - AV quality, load times, responsiveness, codec support, etc Anyone got one? Oh yeah, one thing that intrigues me is the inclusion of multiple HDMI inputs. I think...

It definitley interests me. The only slight reservation I have is that my dad has been through several micro systems in the past. Cheap ones though (sub £100 Sony, Philips, etc) I take it there is no comparison between them and this though? Seen it for £180 and I'd probably pair it with the Q...

How does this lot look? http://www.richersounds.com/product/cd-players-recorders-dacs-cassette-decks/cambridge-audio/azur-640c-v2/camb-640c-v2-blk http://www.richersounds.com/product/amplifiers-receivers/cambridge-audio/topaz-am10/camb-am10-blk...

Hi folks, I'm looking to buy my Dad a hi-fi setup for a forthcoming birthday. My budget is between £350-400. First and foremost, my Dad probably couldn't tell the difference between a £50 Alba setup and a £20,000 Naim setup. Saying that I don't want to buy crap for him but I'm not exactly going...

As much as I'd like to I can't afford Sky HD (with the premium channels) so it looks like I might just hook my standard def Sky box to an upscaling DVD recorder and output the pic via hdmi. My dad has a Pioneer DVD-560HX which does a stunning job of upscaling a sdtv signal to 1080p but its a...

Just bought my dad a new 37PFL5405 Philips lcd and a Sony bdp-370. The sound, as expected isn't too great from the tv so I'd like to get him a set of speakers. Couple of things though, he's restricted to a two or at most three channel setup. Space is at an absolute premium too so I'm looking...

Anyone know anything about this set/own one? Been offered a new one for my Dad for €500 but am finding info or reviews almost impossible to come by. It'll mainly be used for watching standard-def sports content (upscaled via Pioneers excellent DVR 560 HX-K) and the very occasional Blu Ray disc...

Made this particular upgrade myself. The 760 produces a cleaner, sharper and noticeably more colorful picture than the PS3. Only downside is that it isn't as quick to load or immediately responsive (fast forwarding, chapter skipping, etc) as Sony's console.

Looks perfect. Thank svery much.

Hi folks, am looking for some speaker cable for a pair of QA 2010's. Needs to be pretty light and flexible as it'll be routed through a rats maze of walls, studs, etc. Any idea? I'm using Chord Carnival Silverscreen cables for my HT but that stuff is a bit too rigid for what I'll be needing...

nads: but i am not sure what you are trying to achieve. where do you want these other speakers.... I have my PC in my bedroom and want to use a pair of Q Acoustic 2010's with it. In the room next door is my HT setup (where the Onkyo unit is). I thought I'd just route the 2010's speaker...

Hi folks, I asked this very question elsewhere but got a slightly vague answer. in my haste to spend money on some shiny new toys (an amp for my PC 's new speakers) it never occurred to me that the av receiver I have in my room can handle a second pair of speakers Anywho, its an Onkyo...

I'm sure you've probably heard of the infamous 'buzz lottery' but if you do opt for the htx22hd, insist on a demo if you are buying it from a walk in store. Its a lovely, neat little setup but I went through two of them within 12 months before ditching it for separates. As for your budget, I...

Question: is it worth buying a cable for each piece of hardware hooked up to an av receiver or just one for the receiver output to tv?
