Sorry about that I have now edited the post with what I consider to be sensible asking prices for the kit. Thank you Richard

I am looking to sell my Pioneer CLD-D515 Laserdisc player, one of the first with an AC3 (Dolby Digital) output together with a selection of discs including the fairly rare NTSC Star Wars and PAL Star Trek box sets. This player is complete with remote control and all manuals. It has a "both sides...

The problem is now solved, The SCD XE-670 player is, as you are no doubt aware, text enabled. Well, I put the disc back into the player and fired it up. It took a full minute and a half but it did finish loading and then played normally The problem seems to be that this disc has text that...

Hi folks My wife has just bought the above and discovered that it will not play on our SACD player, model Sony SCD E670. fortunately it will play on our LD player and DVD player, all other discs are fine. Has anybody else experienced this? I suspect it is a coding problem, possibly to do...

Hi folks, it's me back after a long break from the forum I've had a Denon AVR-2803 receiver since last November, and although I'm still getting used to the Minutae of it's menu options and settings, I'm very pleased with it. One thought occurred to me. Does anybody know what the "true" RMs...

As a Finish, Please be careful about low powered amps running into speakers of lowish sensitivity. Bearing in mind my experience with my old Yamaha DSP990 and Tannoy R3s

My copy of Die another Day, UK R2, definitely flags up DTS-ES Discrete on my receiver, Denon AVR 2803

This set in Region 2, containing all films in a tin is available now from W H Smith at about £120

Hi folks, Further to the earlier posts and to add to this long running saga, In this morning's post I received from Universal a contrast and brightness corrected disc of Back to the Future 3, quite out of the blue as I (and quite a few of us I think) didn't think that they would go the...

The Tannoy Profile series are threaded to attach to dedicated stands They're discontinued in Europe, but may still be available on your side of the pond!

Is it me or are Dolby just trying to compete with DTS Neo6? The specs sound very similar to me.

Thanks to you all for your support in this saga I've been using it for a few days now and it's settled down beautifully, with far better sound than the 2802, which makes me wonder whether the previous problem was more than just the cut-out fault! Cheers Richard

Finally, a result!! Sevenoaks Hi-Fi, weren't able to locate the fault and sent the receiver to Hayden Laboratories, the UK Denon distributor Well, after another 4 week wait and constant calls plus a letter, SHF have agreed to replace it, so, on Friday I took delivery of a gleaming new...

Thanks for the feedback I called SHF today and it is due to be looked at this afternoon, hmmm! They've only had it a week :frowning: Anyway I 'll let you know what happens Cheers all

Well, I took the receiver back to SHF and once again, they set it up for testing. This time, no output in the store, so I didn't feel a complete fool. After a few false starts, the assistant didn't seem to have much clue about the remote, it was deduced that the output was completely...

Hi folks You may all remember that I had some problems with my Denon 2802 receiver, whereby the output kept failing? Well, if you remember, Sevenoaks Hi-Fi tested it and found it to be OK in the shop. After 3 weeks, the output stage has failed again so I'm taking it back again, this time...

I've had a 2802 since last November and I can honestly say that I haven't noticed this phenomenon and like you my hearing isn't great. It does sound like a batch problem. I wonder if it was a problem on the stateside units only or if the european models were also affected?

Maybe a daft question but have you checked that your surrounds are in phase with each other? This can heavily affect the apparant volume. If they are, I'm afraid it sounds like an output fault!

Hi Justin 'don't know much about the pairing of these amps with the JBLs, but what I can tell you is that neither of the Denons has cooling fans, this being achieved by very efficient heatsinks internally Cheers

DO NOT connect the acoustimass cubes directly to your amp as the unchecked power will drive them into distortion causing them to blow. Similarly the Bose bass unit (it's not really a subwoofer) is not up to the duties of a proper Sub and will not go low enough. If you must use the Bose...

Hi all Well, I took it back to Sevenoaks on Saturday and guess what?? When they tested it it worked fine!, Boy was my face red. Anyway it seems that according to them, the thermal overload had tripped, simply because of the excessive temperatures and as the weather had continued in the...

Will do Chu, I've just called Sevenoaks Hi-Fi and they said to bring it in on Saturday. They're reckoning on a 2 week turnaround at the moment Regards

Well I made sure that all of the connections were sound, ie no stray strands etc and that there was ample ventilation. Left it powered down and unplugged for 24 hours; Switched back on: Same problem, only nothing at all. I'm getting all the lights and I can switch between sources but no...

Hi folks I came down this morning and turned up the volume on my Denon AVR 2802, to listen to some morning radio. Silence! All the lights were on and all othe functions were working, but no sound. I switched it off for 5 minutes and when I switched it back on the sound was restored. This...

Tim Your pages are showing as 'unavailable on our servers'perhaps you hit a copyright problem? Richard

Hi folks I recently upgraded my old Yamaha Prologic amp for a Denon 2802 Receiver, so far so good. As you know, the Denon doesn't have a built in LD demodulator and finding separate ones these days is like looking for the lost ark of the covenant;) Anyway, a thought occured to me while...

Hi folks This is really to keep the thread alive as I too have just received notification from Universal that the discs are being shipped in July

"Asterix takes on Caesar" and "Asterix, Mission Cleopatra" Real Epic stuff:D

I've Emailed Universal as we're still waiting!!! How much longer I wonder???:frowning:

Hi folks I picked up the disc at the audio chain DARTY in Cité Europe in Calais on Saturday for €23, a bargain especially when I discovered that the French Supermarket Carrefour, were selling it for €31 It's an excellent transfer, with great colour and sound. The sub-titles aren't that...
