    Remote control codes for Sony STR-DN1040

    Have you got an Android tablet as MyAV list both of these as being compatiable. It works with my onkyo amp and oppo bluray :rockout:

    TX/RX decoder signal via wifi to another TV

    Best to get a box that splits/duplicates the HDMI output and then run a long HDMI cable to upstairs. Scart is awful and then sending it via RF is going to be more awful. Control wise, if you get your Sky+HD box onto your network, could you control it with a phone or tablet using the app?

    Remote app for an Onkyo TXNR818???

    Through looking at the instructions/compatibility and their site I realised that by plugging my Oppo bluray into the router I can control that too! :dance: So that's Onkyo, Sky an Oppo. Now if I get a smart TV, I can get it controlling that too, shame my Pioneer 508 is too old to have the...

    Remote app for an Onkyo TXNR818???

    WOW! :beer: :beer: :dance: Thank you for the heads up, that's just the ticket. I wasn't sure what to expect and thought I'd have to spend time setting it up etc... But no, it just works, looks very good and fills my Galaxy Tabby 3 10 just brilliantly. Way better than the proper Onkyo app...

    Does it do Onkyo? What's landscape by default? Me thinks of fields and the sky.

    Remote app for an Onkyo TXNR818???

    I've just got my hands on a Samsung Android tablet and I am looking for an alternative app to the official Onkyo one for my 818. The Onkyo app doesn't display the right way around, does anyone know of an alternative? I'd like to use my SamAndTab as the wife is making me put it all away into a...

    BEST FLOORSTANDING SPEAKERS UNDER £500

    For under £500 the Dali Zenzor 5s are a very small floorstander that have really tight grip on the bass and really pump it out. They treble is also very smooth and penetrates the higher frequencies with ease. You’ll be overwhelmed by what these little toys can do.

    Pioneer Kuro Problem & Warranty Issues

    This was a premium high-tech cutting edge piece of equipment. A Ferrari, not a Ford Focus. You couldn't buy a Ferrari and drive it for 100,000 over 5 years and expect it to be as reliable a family car. You're unlikely to win in the county court with something outside of the warranty...

    Pioneer Kuro Problem & Warranty Issues

    The Sale of Goods act doesn’t "cover it for 6 years", this is a myth. There is no provision for this in the Sale of Goods act for a “6 year warranty”. What there is, is "time out" on taking legal action, which is 6 years and this would only work if you could prove that it had the fault at the...

    Pioneer Kuro Problem & Warranty Issues

    It sounds like a problem with the displayport cable that goes between the media box and the panel. The blue and red is an indication of a problem between the two units. The problem can manifest itself intimittantly. Buy a new DisplayPort cable (they aren't that expensive) and see if this fixes...
