Swapped the Onkyo for the Denon AVRX2200W! Was happy with both the 520 and the 343 but wanted something a bit extra so decided to swap it for the 2200. i know I've doubled my cost but wow! What a great peice of kit!

Demoed the Onkyo and decided to make the swap. In terms of performance, at the price point there isn't a lot of difference between the Denon and the Onkyo but would say the Onkyo was very marginally better. In terms of the issues I had with the Denon, as mentioned in previous post the ARC...

Hi macdiddy, no worries, before speaking to RS your advice would've been valid! in terms of performance, as they are both budget amps I can't see there being too much difference so main decision will be based on usability (features and functions are pretty identical). popping to RS tomorrow...

Hi all, Anyone know much about the new Denon receiver? I picked this up from Richer Sounds yesterday and not quite sure what to make of it. It ticked the main box I needed which was having more than 1 HDCP 2.2 HDMI input (it has 3!), but for £199 it's almost 1/2 the price of most other entry...

I've got questions around the Denon AVR which I purchased but will moved this to a new thread on the receiver sub forum. Cheers!

After much deliberation, went with the Cantons in the end. Left enough of my budget to get the Denon AVRX520BT. Entry level amp but has 4 HDCP 2.2 inputs! Everything else around that price range only had 1. No reviews anywhere on line but took a punt and will set it all up this evening! Both...

Hi all, looking to purchase one of the above sets. Originally had a budget of £250 (Bostons, Cantons) but because of the size I need, will to go up to £500 (Cambridge, Missions). Reason for needing small satellites is a combination of the wife but also need the centre speaker to be maximum...

Hi all, I've been doing some DIY calibration using a host of other user settings and the picture I have is ok. I've also used the free tool that comes with Sony DVD/BR. My settings are an amalgamation of the 2. Was reading through another forum which provided a link to a THX app on the...

Should have mentioned it in the original post, but it's when I'm accessing Netflix (when I actually can!) or Amazon Prime. Holding the button just fast forwards rather than skips chapters. I know it's definitely possible for both services as this function works if watching through the Xbox One...

Hi all, I've got the Samsung JS8500 which comes with 2 remotes, one being the standard Samsung TV remote. On the playback buttons at the bottom of the remote, generally all the symbols are on the buttons. However, on the RW/FF buttons, the skip chapter symbols sit above the buttons on the...

Just replied to your other thread on this. Don't know when BBC iPlayer will be available but my YouTube seems to work ok. I haven't actually checked to see whether ITV player is there but I'll have a look and update you. It seems to me the new Tizen OS is having a few teething issues, my...

I've got the JS8500, assume the JU7000 uses the same Tizen OS. BBC iPlayer isn't actually available yet in the UK either, just says coming soon on the app store so if you're getting the TV specifically for iPlayer it would probably be worth waiting. I was a bit annoyed because it's advertised...

Hi all, Just thought I'd update you to say that I decided to purchase the 55JS8500. Unfortunately I couldn't extend to the double-the-price LG970. Richersounds have a deal at the moment too, 10% of retail and including trading in my Pano TH-50PX70BA, paid about £1850 for the TV which is...

Thanks SimonLewis, think it's all sorted now. I think I was maybe trying to be a bit too clever! I've put everything back the way I had it with the previous TV (equipment to receiver, with Sky via optical). After a bit of playing with the settings, everything is playing in 5.1 . I think the...

Thanks for the suggestion simonlewis. Would doing this result in the video signal not being upscaled by the TV? I tried it this was and thought there was a loss in PQ But that may have been my mind playing tricks on me! ill give it another try tonight and let you know how I get on. thanks!
