RE: Any good ASL/Router??

Nothing is going to be low cost,but two i would strongly recommend are
in order of preferance

Linksys Earthfast Cable Router (around about £100)
http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=142

or

Vigor 2200 USB (around the same price)
http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor2000.htm

Both sites have a lot more options but these in my opinion are the best for the money.

Good Luck!!!..

RE: looking for inexpensive 5.1 decoder and speaker package

With out knowing your price range its hard to recommend a system.But take a look at http://www.videologic.com/Products/homeentertainment.asp

i think they are great value for the performance.

RE: Ps2 5.1 system in new argos catalogue

Have a look at videologics Digitheater ZXR-500 http://www.videologic.com/Products/Product.asp?Product=VL-60635 its a little bit more money but the performance it gives is worth that extra cash.

The cheapest i`ve found is £144 at http://www.qed-uk.com/?i=0_aKwU0sJJ14&vp=6&bg=216&bp=zxrs&bi=0

if you can stretch that far it would be well worth it.

RE: Whic 28

Take a look at the link below Richer Sounds,it will give you a idea of the bargin you can get for £650 .This item states it is temporarily out of stock.But send them an email or ring them and they will let you know if you can get one in the future or if anything similar is coming in.

Its always worth keeping an eye on there site,as you might bag yourself a bargin.

RE: Speaker Stands / Brackets for Philips Pixel Plus TV`s

A question not a reply.

I`m thinking of getting a Pixel Plus set,how have you found your`s to be?

is it a 32" or 36" you have?

I would appreciate your opinion.

RE: Replacment Remote for Laserdisc Player.

You could try the link below,but anything new will cost.In the long run is it realy worth it.

If you wanted to replace all your remotes with just one which would also run the laser disk then it might be worth a look.

RE: DVD for under

I would strongly recommend taking a look at Richer Sounds,you might find you can get a model you thought was out of your price range.

I would keep checking as models and prices change on a daily basis.

They also have great warranties as standed and good customer service.

RE: Help required please for DD/DTS System purchase

There are a lot of package systems around at the moment which carry all that you are looking for,which i think would be your best option for your buget.

Sony do a number systems which also support s.a.c.d ,as this is what you need to play your s.a.c.d disks.

Richer sounds currently have on offer :

Sony DAV S300 Multiregion at £349
Sony DAV S400 Multiregion at £299
Sony DAV S550 Multiregion at £???

But its always best to look around and Most importantly have a demo.

I`ve put a number of web sites that i think offer good service and value below.

Happy Hunting

RE: Which Scart lead?

Best to buy a good quality scart as it will last and give you the best performance.

i am myself am a fan of ixos and would recommend the IXOS 126 AV www.hificables.co.uk currently has this on offer at :
£33 for a 1m
£30 for a 0.75m

This includes vat .

or another good cable is QED AV 21 also at hi fi cables at :
£35 for a 1.5m

this link will take you to the page with both cables on,they also list review details.

RE: Which Tv Set????

Have a look at the new philips 32PW9527 with pixel plus you won`t be sorry.

RE: Sub woofer & speakers question

Firstly a front centre is a must,it will allow your system to feed the audio to each speaker independently giving you dolby digital or dts as it should be.

This will not only improve the dialogue no end,but the whole sound field will be dramatically improved.

As a rule you should always try to match speakers,so try to get the matching centre to your front`s.

As for bass this is up to you,but it would allow you to here the low frequencies without having high volume alround.Plus you would be hearing the audio as near to the original as your system would allow.

Hope this help`s.

RE: I want a crt 19 inch monitor or above

I`ve got a 19" Dell D1226H which i have found to be an excellent model,good colour balance pin sharp picture very clear.Very reliable.

ebay has one on offer at the moment with bids currently at £51.

I`ve put a link at the bottom of the page.
You can find loads more choices there as well.

RE: how to improve audio

This is a guess,but most region 2 (english) dvd`s come with Dolby digital stereo and dolby digital 5.1.If your using a tv with two speakers make sure you got your audio settings on the dvd to dolby stereo.

If you listen to a dolby 5.1 sound track through two speaker it gets mixed down and this can lead to the uneven sound problems you describe.

For best results you realy need a 5.1 set up,then your lord of the rings will probably blow you away,then your be hooked like the rest of us.

In my opinion the best low cost option is the VideoLogic DigiTheatre,at around £248 but always hunt around.I`ve put a link at the bottom of this page for there web site.

Then theres DTS audio but i would suggest reading some home cinema mags to get the idea.

Hope this helps.

RE: Anyone know what needs to be done to play VCDs on PS1?

This should take you right to it.

RE: Anyone know what needs to be done to play VCDs on PS1?

You need a vcd adapter.
There are many versions available.But make sure your PS is compatible, most use the parallel port on the back so check you have that model.

Check out www.interesting-devices.com they do one called movie card.

RE: Quest 1:keep Sony DVP-735D ? / Quest 2 : dts volume ?

Thanks for the reply.I`m hoping a amp with its own decoder connected via the digital coaxal out improves the dts,if not its back to the shop.

Quest 1:keep Sony DVP-735D ? / Quest 2 : dts volume ?

I recently purchased a sony DVP-S735D multiregion,i know its an older model but i got it at a discounted price through clearence.

It was supposed to be brand new, but on inspection it was not (slight damage)

Quest 1 : would changing it for a sony DVP-NS905 be worth the hassle when it will cost me extra.(not bothered about all disc formats or sacd)

I`m currently using its on board decoders outed through its 5.1analog out,temporarily to 3 identical amps.

Quest 2 : when i play dvd`s with dts, the ambient sound and speech is quiter than DD,but action sequences are equal in volume and more detailed and crisp as expected.

Is this the norm for dts ?????
