RE: Home Cinema In A Box
I bought the Sony Davs500 over christmas, nice kit.. excellent video and sound. I spent a couple of weeks buying Home Entertaiment mags, reading reviews, reading forums such as this.. and for an all in one system the Sony stood out from the crowd...
The lack of scart is a pain but not the end of the world, you get a composite to scart adapter in the box. The only issue is that if you want to watch a DVD without the surround speakers on (OK, I know.. why would you!) you don`t get any audio through the TV...
There is a simple solution though, the DAVS comes with a single composite video out... but also an additional set of RCA out connectors for video and L/R audio which I use instead... The only problem now is there is no auto channel switching when you turn on the DVD player due to the lack of scart... in reality this just means an extra button press on the remote.
Bought mine, fully MR + RCE for £479 inc vat from www.av4u.co.uk
RE: sony dav-s500
I bought one in December, £479 fully multi-region + RCE (software only so not macrovision disabled) from www.AV4U.co.uk
Very friendly staff and know their stuff... nice bit of kit it is too! Macrovosion is only really an issue if you want to copy dvd`s or route the DVD through your video...
RE: DTS, how important is it?
Comet are selling the Panasonic SCHT 70 for £299 at the moment, I`ve looked around and it`s £499 + most other places...
My other option is the Sony DAV S500, but the cheapest I`ve seen that is £480... another £180, although from what I can tell it`s the biz...
Panasonic SCHT70
going for £299 from www.comet.co.uk
sounds like a deal!
DTS, how important is it?
I`m looking to buy a DVD Cinema Combo Package, I`ve seen what I think is a bit of a bargain but it has no support for DTS, only Dolby Digital and Prologic.
Would not having DTS be a problem? Are there films you can`t get in Dolby?
Thanks
