    Which amplifier for Dali Fazon Satellite 5.1-3 system?

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, we're unable to find anywhere near us that sells both items so it is difficult to go for a demonstration. Though after plenty of research and deliberation, have decided to go with a Denon AVR3313 amplifier. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

    Which amplifier for Dali Fazon Satellite 5.1-3 system?

    Paws here again, I did type a message but for some reason it is not showing up. Two amps considering either Yamaha V673 or Pioneer SC2022? Any advice as to which would work best with Dali Fazon Satellite 5.1-3? Thanks.

    Advice needed - Sony KDL40W5500

    Just a quick update. Our new Sony 40W5500 arrived late yesterday afternoon and thanfully, it is absolutely fine. No issues with any backlight bleed, HD pictures are excellent, SD even through Sky HD plus box, is okay but it depends on which channel you watch. On channel 5 SD last night, The...

    Advice needed - Sony KDL40W5500

    Thanks for replies. We did have a Panasonic and usually we buy Panasonic, but we had some issues with the LZD800 and had to return it as it was faulty. We would have loved a new replacement but they only had an ex-display model left unfortunately. So, decided rather than wait for new...

    Advice needed - Sony KDL40W5500

    Hi Was just wondering, having ordered this TV last Thursday, am becoming increasingly concerned about negative posts re: clouding issues. Does anyone have anything positive to say about this model? Earlier, having read yet more negative posts, was seriously considering cancelling order and...

    Update on faulty Panasonic TX-LZD800

    Hi Professorhat, Thanks for replying. I think yesterday we were just a bit at the end of our tether, given that it's been about 6-8 weeks of dissatisfaction since we received the TV. Given that many others do not get a choice, I suppose we are lucky. Also, it is unfortunate and unfair when...

    panasonic screen/setting problem. advice required?

    Hi, We had similar problem on our Panasonic TX-LZD800 after Sky HD box was installed. Upshot is after trying 3 different Sky boxes i.e. Amstrad, Samsung, Amstrad again, it was definitely better when using the Amstrad again. Oddly, with each box there seemed to be a slightly different problem...

    Update on faulty Panasonic TX-LZD800

    As promised here's an update on our situation with the LZD800. We were looking forward to a new LZD800, but unfortunately, when it arrived this afternoon, there was a question mark over whether we were actually being given a new TV or an ex-display model based on a number of things i.e...

    Panasonic TX-LZD800 More problems - anyone else?

    I'll keep you posted as to which option we're offered - if it is the V10, from what I've read, I'm sure the picture quality will be excellent too and if the sound quality is not as good, we'll have to look into getting a surround system......

    Panasonic TX-LZD800 More problems - anyone else?

    That doesn't sound so good then. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that they can source another LZD800......failing that, the only other option would be to buy a surround sound system.... How odd though, that Panasonic's new top of the range 37" TV would have an inferior speaker...

    Panasonic TX-LZD800 More problems - anyone else?

    That's interesting, because the one thing I specifically asked about was whether the sound quality would be the same as the LZD800and the Panasonic person said yes, it would be exactly the same...do you know what the difference is, because I noticed from looking at a brief description, that the...

    Panasonic TX-LZD800 More problems - anyone else?

    Hi alsina, I played around with the picture settings but unfortunately it didn't help. I organised for the the Panasonic shop to send someone to have a look at the TV yesterday and it seems it is faulty afterall. They will try and source another one and replace it, although it might be...

    Panasonic TX-LZD800 More problems - anyone else?

    alsina, In that respect then, should the ability to turn overscan off be viewed as a benefit? (as opposed to being an irritation) Does this mean that TV's that don't have this option, are automatically set to overscan? I've looked at picture overscan on wikipedia along with re-reading posts...
