    Optimum PS4 audio output settings

    Thanks... that is what I've always reverted back to after testing the different options. I don't get the DTS Master light on the amp light up if I use LPCM but that won't affect sound quality so I don't really care about that. Just wish they would fix the audio problems - Netflix doesn't output...

    Optimum PS4 audio output settings

    Hi all, I've looked around the interweb and this has been discussed elsewhere at length but no one seems to give a definitive answer so I thought I'd try here – always reliable advice in the past :clap: So... I've got a PS4 connected to a Sony STR-DH800 via HDMI running through a Jamo S 526...

    Rear speaker crackle only on e4 HD ?

    Nope, just E4 HD (not sure if it does it with the SD E4 channel, if there is a HD version I never watch SD). Blu-Ray films, PS3 games, all other Sky channels are fine. Not really worried, it's just annoying! :wall:

    Rear speaker crackle only on e4 HD ?

    This is still happening, anyone got any ideas yet? And yes – it's the right rear speaker when Big Bang Theory is on, like someone said when the canned laughter kicks in.

    New speakers setup help

    Again, thank you very much! It's currently set at 80hz, I might try 70 to see if it sounds any better with a little extra bass passing through the speakers. At the moment the sub is quite 'boomy'. Please don't assume I know anything – all help and advice is always appreciated!

    New speakers setup help

    According to the spec page on Jamo's website – http://jamo.co.uk/eu-en/products/s-426-specifications/ the crossover frequency is 2500. What does that even mean?!

    New speakers setup help

    Hi Gareth, Thanks for replying, that all makes sense. Am I right in that the lower the crossover setting the more bass gets passed through the speakers or is it the other way around?! Looking forward to opening, setting up and testing later on when they get here! :clap:

    New speakers setup help

    Hi guys, Following my previous post – http://www.whathifi.com/forum/home-cinema/new-51-speakers I've gone for the Jamo S 426HCS3 speakers. They are arriving today and I'd like a little help regarding setting them up. I've got a Sony STR D800 amp and will do the auto calibrate to begin with to...

    New 5.1 speakers

    What about the Jamo S 426HCS3 5.1 speaker system? Like I say, I don't need a sub and for £300 (less if you shop around) they are a bit of a bargain? http://www.whathifi.com/news/updated-jamo-launches-%C2%A3300-surround-system-and-add-on-subwoofer

    New 5.1 speakers

    Hi all, I'm on the lookout for a new 5.1 speaker setup. Don't need a sub at this stage but already have one. Using the good old Sony STR D800 amp and some pretty average Sony 'out the box' speakers and would look to upgrade. I fancy floorstanding L & R, and don't want to spend more than...

    Expensive Hifi Rack any diff?

    I'm sure improvement in sound quality is some sort of arrangement that the manufacturers of expensive racks cooked up along with naive bribable reviewers... it must be the only way they can justify a rack costing £800 being better than one costing £80 that looks as nice. OK, so the build quality...

    New TV stand

    Hi thank you very much for the reply. That is actually one of the stands I was looking at getting, along with a couple of others on that site. Alphason seem to be a popular brand with some good prices on their stands too. Nice to hear about good service from S&D too. I will have at look at...

    New TV stand

    I'm after a new TV stand for my 40Z5500, Sony STR-DH800 and Sky+ HD box... There seem to be SO MANY out there, I just can't make my mind up. I've seen websites such as www.standland.co.uk, www.standanddeliver.com, www.soundandvision.co.uk & www.smartavsolutions.co.uk... has anyone bought...

    Home cinema amp to match...

    Ok... So I am now the proud owner of a Sony STR-DH800 :) Was going to test it with my current speakers and then upgrade but can't because they connections are incompatible (long story... they have weird plugs, they came with a now ancient DVD/Amp combo). So... I need some speakers sooner than...
