    Playing .mkv files on PS3

    Hey cybasoul i just managed to get PS3 meadia server going with the linsys router yesterday.

    Samsung LA40B610 vs LA40B650

    Just from the device codes it seems like the 650 is probably a 100/120Hz model and the 610 is the standard 50/60Hz model. There might also be a dynamic contrast ratio difference, but not incredible amount. The 650 will probably have motionflow technology or something like that for better...

    Crossover setting

    Sheesh i'm glad somebody brought this topic up. I just did a total reset on my onkyo 807 with paradigm cinema 110 speaker set. When using the mic setup with the amp, it gave me crossover settings ofr 70hz for the fronts and center and ummm 120Hz for the surrounds. However since this reset the...

    Top speed

    In theory sure, but you've got to consider all the mechanical/friction/power losses all the way from the engine through to the tyres. I think those claims of 35km/h/1000revs are probably on the engine. What car is it? Want to race?

    Mid/High end HDMI cables

    Good read man. So basically on short lengths any decently constructed cables will do perfectly fine. So no Monsters/QED just yet. It really does seem to be about bragging and branding, but hey, if i could afford it, i would soooo go for the R1600 a shot cable  ;D

    Onkyo 807 - dark upscaling from DSTV

    Ken, you're right, its just upconversion. However i just called the Onkyo SA distributors and they mentioned that its possible a voltage fluctuation on the video output of the decoder. Possibly its on its way out as well, as the pin code 9949 for adjusting the aspect ratio doesn't work any...

    Onkyo 807 - dark upscaling from DSTV

    Well i have the series 6A 40 inch Samsung LCD - LA40A610. I'm using normal rca out from the standard DSTV decoder to the AVR. I can understand that there will be a certain amount of losses incurred during the internal stages of the AVR, but the quality of picture i'm seeing out of it, whether in...

    Hey guys So, i'm busy getting my Onkyo 807 up and running over the last two weeks, and so far i've encountered two major problems.
