    Yamaha RXA 1070

    I couldn't really tell what changing the DPS adds. One thing I have noticed is that I feel I need to tweak the rears and ceilings compared to the YPAO settings. After watching guardians my wife and I both felt the suround effects weren't as pronounced as we would expect. Also the amp set the...

    Yamaha RXA 1070

    Thanks for the tips. I have only set the rears to small currently. Will adjust this all tonight - what's interesting is the sub has definitely been doing some work. I checked out mad max for the dolby atmos track and it sounded great. Tonight I'm going to watch guardians of the galaxy 2 4k with...

    Yamaha RXA 1070

    Thanks that's really helpful. My floorstanding front's don't show up until next week so I won't be able to run through the setup until then. I have already updated the firmware via a wired ethernet connection and had a look at some of the speaker settings. I noticed the large and small options...

    Yamaha RXA 1070

    So I have just bought this amp to pair with monitor audio silver 200 5.1 with monitor audio CT265 in ceiling speakrs to create a 5.1.2 setup. I haven't configure it all yet (still waiting for the centre and floor stands to show up) but wanted to get some feedback on the amp. It wasn't what I was...

    Speaker Help: Rear surround placement + Atmos

    Hi, I'm currently building an extension to my house which will have a 4m long by 6m family room in it. The tv will sit on one side and the dinning table the other. The problem I have is what to do with my surrond speakers. I'm thinking of picking up the new Sony DN1080 with the monitor audio...

    Do I need to buy a new reciever

    Is the app you are using set to 5.1? Netflix has a setting in the audio and subtitles menu. Via optical there should be no difference for the 5.1 output from the new TV.

    Time to upgrade!

    Thanks for the reply. I will check them out I saw the review for the sony which looked good and no atmos isn't high on my agenda as I will only be running a 5.1 system.

    Time to upgrade!

    So I was looking back at my posts in 2007 which is when I bought my Onkyo 605 with the kef 2002 style package. It has served me well but due to my hankering for a new 4k TV its time to upgrade! I am toying between the Samsung js9000 55" set or one of the Sony's though I am still waiting on...

    Colours on the 40w4500

    I have sky HD using a decent QED HDMI so its not that. I will mess around more with the colour settings though I might test the cinema and warm 1/2 as I am not great at callibrating lol! My step dad is over at xmas and he is good at things like that as he used to be a sound engineer and setup...

    Colours on the 40w4500

    I really love this tv mine doesnt suffer from any of the clouding etc that has been mentioned but I cant seem to get the colours quite right on SD, especially on shows like xfactor. That show looks terrible sometimes the judges look like lobsters!!! I am not sure if its just the lighting on the...

    Top 5 Blueray Discs (users oppinion)

    I personally thought indie 4 locked really bad. The PQ was awful and made the effects look fake, especially the chase through the jungle. Indie 4 spoiler below YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! On top of which... Aliens?? I mean come on!!!!!!!!!!

    Top 5 Blueray Discs (users oppinion)

    I think would be quite handy to have a list of everyones top 5 for demo purposes or the blueray's that just make your jaw drop! I know WHF did a top 50 in the ultimate blueray guide just want to see what everyone else thinks! Ratatouille 30 days of night There will be blood Planet Earth...

    Many problems Sony 46W4500

    I have this TV as explained earlier and Grinder suggested I set it to a dark screen to try and see clouding, I cant. He then suggested I turned my backlight up and looked again. I havent done this yet (I forgot) however I dont watch it with the backlight very high at all so dont see the point of...

    Many problems Sony 46W4500

    I bought the 40w4500 on thursday and have had no issues with clouding or anything of the sort. I am finding some of the colours seem slightly washed out on darker scenes but I dont think I have nailed the settings yet. I am very happy and with blue ray some of the pictures are astounding!
