    HDMI Versions?

    No audio option, not that I know off. And I checked the manual that specifically says that a fibre optic or SPDIF cable must connect the decoder to the TV or AV to enable 5.1 surround sound. The HD PVR does not have any options to set a HDMI connection. Only 2 settings for surround sound: AUTO...

    HDMI Versions?

    Why is it that MultiChoice/DSTV does not output the surround sound into the HDMI connector out of the HD decoders? I already read the specs for the HDMI and they specify that the cable is capable of handling from LPCM, to Super Audio CD, including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High...

    Speaker's impedance

    It looks like that for you it is a too basic question, but for me it is a big mystery: how can the AVR be damaged if one sets it with a wrong impedance? Against the comment of dotVIBE above: ""If set to 4ohms your receiver will actually lower it's power output to protect itself from...

    Using a PS3 as a Media Player

    Thanks Homer, I will download that and try it out. My PS3 is up and running well, reading all files on my PC (pic. videos, music) and playing them all very well. Just videos encoded in .flv format are not accepted. As I mentioned before I could not find a Windows codec to install in WMPlayer to...

    Speaker's impedance

    Hang on; I thought that the impedance setting on the AVRs was to protect the speakers. Your post leads me to conclude that the setting is to protect the AVR. Which is which? Tony

    Speaker's impedance

    Thank you all that replied. I was going to ask another question what kind of damage could be done to the A/V or to the speakers, but that was already answered. Thanks again. Tony

    Speaker's impedance

    Greetings to all, I bought a pair of Jamo C 603. The impedance of those speakers is 6 omhs. My Sony 2400es AV can only be set to either 4 or 8 ohms. The suppliers of the speakers told me that I must set it to 8 omhs, but I already read somewhere that I must always set to the lower impedance, in...

    Using a PS3 as a Media Player

    Hi kay, I have some videos that I can not play on my PS3 (using my PC as a media server). One of those formats is in .flv format. Do you know any player that can help me play those videos on the PS3? As you know VLC can play .flv but it does not work as a media sharing software with the PS3. I...

    Oh dear- blown drivers?

    Lucky you. Mine lasted 6 days only and when I called for warranty, they (Polk Audio SA, the retailer Audio Note and the importers Audiotronics) were very quick to shift the blame on to me. I burnt the speaker because of high volumes, according to them. Nothing to do with manufacturing defect...

    Oh dear- blown drivers?

    How do I control this?? Regards, Tony

    Oh dear- blown drivers?

    Hi norval Do you mean that the speaker will not produce any sound below 10/20 W or that the speaker will blow up? You said latter on: "".............a large x-max. I would suggest not to feed them any info below 100 to 120Hz, and let the sub do the LF."" Isn't that the job of the x-over? If...

    Oh dear- blown drivers?

    Greetings to all, Daniel, I'm in the same boat. One of my Polk Audio RM7 satellites did not last a week before blowing up. On that first week I NEVER reach the 50% volume; I was trying the speakers and the AVR, both new out of the box. But that was not enough to save the RM7. I would rather get...
