I havent rented anything via Netflix or iTunes yet so did wonder if iTunes previews didnt have Dolby Digital even though the programme details say they do. Loads of complaints on the web regarding loss of DD 5.1 on Netflix however some people are saying to use the optical output.

Just hooked up an Apple TV to my system but not getting 5.1 audio from it. Its connected via HDMI to my amp and i've got Dolby Digital set to on in the settings. All I ever see on my amp display is 2 channel PCM. I've only tried watching previews on itunes so far, so wondering if they maybe...

Ive been away from the forum for a while but thought it was worth adding my experience to the debate. I went down the route of calibrating my TV's myself which i first did about 3 years ago. Since then ive ended up calibrating for friends and family who have always commented how good my picture...

As you can see from my signature I have the Samsung in my bedroom. I'm very happy with it and have no signs of backlight bleed. Plenty of options to tweak the picture. Ive just calibrated mine using a colour meter and the picture is great. I would definitely recommend it. Other thing to note is...

I use Flatfeet Sorbothane pads under my centre speaker. See link before for details. I use the larger ones at the front and the smaller ones at the rear, which angles my speaker perfectly...

Thank for the reply. I haven't had a chance to test it properly yet with a blu ray, hopefully i'll get onto that tonight, so I can't say how much improvement I've gained. I'll leave the settings as they are and experiment with the bypass tonight.

Folks, Just set up my anti mode and looking for a bit of advice from other owners. I ran the anti mode calibration then ran through my avr calibration. The avr has now increased the subwoofer distance by approx 1.5m, whilst the Antimode manual suggests 90cm. BK Elec are closed for their hold so...

I've just upgraded to a XXLS400 from a monitor audio R370HD and it's far superior. Bass is definitely tighter and no problems integrating with my speakers. Be warned though even after I had measured to make sure it would fit its still larger than I thought, but not too big and the other half...

Thanks for the feedback guys. As you've all said I'd already turned off all other noise reduction and picture processing. First thing I do with any new tv. I'll leave the motion settings as is at present and wait until the footie starts before experimenting properly.

Folks, just taken delivery of a 37ES6300 for my bedroom. Really nice set and a cracking picture too. Still need to set it up properly just haven't had time. What I'm after is advice from other Samsung owners regarding settings for Motion Plus and LED Motion Plus. I currently have them set as...

Another to consider is the BKElec XXLS400. Mines arrived yesterday to replace a Monitor Audio R370HD. It's bigger than I expected but not too big. I alo bought an anti mode which I just away to set up. I've the same amp as you so will let you know how it sounds once set up.

Big Boss we're both correct. After checking the manuals for my kit: Subwoofers have a 1 year warranty Speakers have a 3 year warranty

Folks, My sub as per my signature died a slow horrible death tonight. Loud crackling followed by that distinctive smell of burning components then the main breaker for the house tripped. Ive checked the fuses on the sub and one has blown I replaced this and no difference, the replacement never...

Another thing to check is that you have enabled the broadband connection for the box. I'm at work but if i remember correctly: Options Customise Enable Broadband connection. I got caught out with this when setting up my Anytime+

I'm using HDMI over cat 6 to send a signal from the second HDMI output on my amp to give me sky hd in the bedroom. Yes its more expensive but i've had no problems since installing. I bought the extenders from hdcable.co.uk and use 0.5m thatcable hdmi's to connect the extenders. You can get...
