    Humax HDR-1100S dumbed down too much

    Should have looked harder. The usual Humax hidden menu is still available (System Settings / General Info Press Red Green Yellow Blue Green Yellow Blue) but with less options plus enable CRID doesn't 'stick' any more after you enable it. I have enabled it three times now and each time it...

    3 x Marantz M-CR610 delevoped same fault in past 24 hours

    http://marantz-uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3986/kw/10%20seconds Not exactlty verbose is it? I'd like to know a little more myself. Could this happen again. Are the units at the mercy of an external server functioning correctly? Etc.

    3 x Marantz M-CR610 delevoped same fault in past 24 hours

    Interesting. Same here. Listened to a whole album this morning on the NAS without interuption. Will check again later tonight when I get in. I would really like to know what this is (maybe was) about. Not really happy just to have it 'fixed' without any explanation. I have a feeling it may...

    Humax HDR-1100S dumbed down too much

    It was Bad day at Fraggle Rock when I received my new black Humax HDR-1100s 1TB the other day . Suddenly I was faced with a really dumb issue trying to connect to my network. I use static IP addressing and MAC filtering and MACs are bound to IPs...even wireless devices. It's a lockdown...

    Humax HDR 1100s

    The rear USB is for USB/HHD drives. I have a self powered Toshiba 500Gb plugged into mine (transferred from my old Humax)

    3 x Marantz M-CR610 delevoped same fault in past 24 hours

    The last firmware update for my M-CR610s was June or July I think. Why this 'bomb' should go off on a specific day in August though is curious. And it also makes me wonder what the Marantz's are actually doing; maybe they're attempting to connect to a non existent server...but why? And if it's...

    3 x Marantz M-CR610 delevoped same fault in past 24 hours

    I have been speaking to Marantz support (D&M) today as this started happening. Spent far too long trying to diagnose the problem and eventually dismantled my home network to troubleshoot the problem. Eventually I connected only the 3 M-CR610s to an isolated TP-Link switch with the Synology NAS...

    3 x Marantz M-CR610 delevoped same fault in past 24 hours

    At the end of my tether with my M-CR610s. Since purchasing three of them in late 2013 they have worked flawlessly. 24hrs ago this all changed. Got home yesterday and did the same as I do each day, immediately pick up the Marantz remote and press 'Server'. Fine, 'Diskstation' appeared (my...

    Have you made a custom housing for the RPi+ HiFiBerry Digi?

    BBC HLS & Marantz (M-CR610) no fix!

    Actually agree, Chebby. But this is a completely non Apple house here. Buying the new incarnations of the M-CR610 to fix the issue would be an expensive (and unreasonable) solution. And out of the question for me at least. Lot of money. @Andy I do also feel for others whose hardware has been...

    One sub two systems?

    Well yeah, strictly speaking you are of course absolutely correct (re terminology). But in everyday dopey speak (that's what I seem to be speaking nowadays) it seemed to be the right term. That is, I had in mind stuff like coax Y splitters - advertised as such - but I suppose they are really...

    One sub two systems?

    Hello. The sub is part of the BA Soundwave SX SE home cinema system Single line in. That's why I mentioned the splitter. Two cables into one...

    One sub two systems?

    Would it, do you think, be okay to somehow use the same sub for two systems? Details: Basically, I want to use my active Boston Acoustics sub (which is connected to my home cinema) with my hifi but I don't have room for another subwoofer. My hi-fi all-in-one has sub out and I've already hooked...
