Are they still in business? If so, why no new products?

Hi just a quick question. Are Sony the only Blu-ray manufacturer that includes SACD on their Blu-ray players? Or does Panasonic Samsung and LG have model's that include SACD? Cheers

Thanks everyone, I purchased the Bluray from Denmark and it plays ok and there is a language English DTS option

Just a quick odd ball question. If I purchased a Danish bluray disc. Would I be able to play the disc on my UK model Sony bdp-x800 bluray player? Thanks in advance

Hi can anyone tell me if it is possible to fit a Rega Rb300 tone arm to a Pro-ject RPM6 turntable? Reason I ask is I can not stand the cheap flimsy tone arm fitted. Thanks

I use fm tuner everyday, also I understand manufactures include a thin wire to get you up and running, but my point is only Sony's award winning receivers have the totally useless mini plug socket for connection? This should have been highlighted on the review. Excellent home cinema receiver...

Yes understood, but trying to connect a thin piece of wire to my existing FM antenna is next to useless, So disappointed as I like this receiver, Sony have done themselves no favours here. Anyway I have now sold the receiver and will purchase from Denon Yamaha or Marantz at least they include...

Bought the Sony STR-DN1080 and the Sony UBP-X800 on the basis of the What HiFi? Reviews and I must say I am very impressed with both units. Only one serious omission from the review of the STR-DN1080 was the FM aerial input. Why oh why does Sony fall down on this basic input? Is it cost? I...

Thank you

Hi Can anyone help? My Marantz NR1604 network receiver is no longer playing internet radio? I am all connected up correctly. I have also noticed that the vTuner has gone from my Humax FVR-5000T Set top box Anyone advise?

Hi can anyone help? I have been trying to purchase a Cambridge Audio Azur 551R or a 351R Home cinema receiver. But I dont seem to be able to find one to purchase in this country? A bit strange as its a UK company. Can anyone recomend somewhere to purchase either one of the above models...

Further to this subject, I said I wouldnt name names, however as I am not impressed with customer after care. Its time to name and shame. I am on my 2nd MJ Acoustics award winning subwoofer. The first one developed a fault after 12 months. I contacted MJ Acoustics only to be told I would save...

Thanks for all your comments. And no. I dont thrash any part of my hifi. Each item is treated with care. And equipment failur has been various items over a number of years. But perhaps the hifi press could take a leaf out of car editorials? Some car magazines will keep a vehicle for 12...
