I have the 550 connected to my TV via HDMI and analogue outputs to my Receiver The first question is the picture looks very grainy so to speak. Is there anyting I can do or is that how its supposed to be? Secondly there seems to be very little coming from the rear speakers. when I press...
I currently have a Denon 1803 receiver that doesn't have an HDMI inputs so I'm looking to get a blu ray player that can decode Dolby/DTS HD and send it via the analogue outputs. Can anyone recommend a unit that supports this
I've just bought a widescreen tv and I've never really paid any attention to aspect ratios before so I'm a little confused by this. I just tried to watch titanic and it appears 'letterboxed'. I've looked on the dvd case and it says letterbox version - 4:3, presented in aspect ratio 2.3:1...
Has anyone had any experience with the wharfedale center speakers? I've recently bought the diamond 9.4 fronts and looking to upgrade my center. I immediately thought to go with the wharfedale one because I was very impressed with the front speakers but are there any better center channels I...
I'm planning on getting the 360 add on to connect it to my PC setup and use analogue outs from my sound card to my receiver. If I have some HD DVD player software, will I still be receiving trueHD (in theory) through my receiver?
I'm planning on upgrading to high def mainly for the improved audio and my plan is to get the xbox 360 add on HD DVD drive and add it to my existing HTPC setup. I plan to run the audio from my sound card analogue outs to my received (Denon 1803) Are there any problems with this idea? Will there...

High definition sound has alot higher bit rates therefore much better quality. (Same as high tv vs standard tv in picturequality) From what I understand Tv may broadcast HD picture and 5.1 sound. Or if they do broadcast the full HD quality sound my understanding is that Dolby true HD has a DD...
OK the sub has a high level input but I was just wondering if I would be able to get away with the some phono cables. What is the advantage of conencting with high level inputs?
If the amp doesn't have a dedicated sub output, can I use a tape RC out or a phono out to the line in connections on the sub itself and let the sub control the roll off limit?
I've got a fast core 2 duo. I tried a sky hd demo dvd and some downloaded mpegs and it seemed ok. If the audio is downconvered, is it reduced to the same quality as dvd or any better?
I'm looking at getting a blu ray drive for my HTPC setup to go fully HD, but will I get any improvement in the sound because I am using spdif over optical rather than HDMI and I heard that there were some bandwidth constraints and it couldn't delivery dobly true HD sound. The other question...
I picked up a mono plug to phono adapter and tried it and its still the same. What is interesting though, its with the stereo splitter that I posted above, if I use the left side connector and do the speaker test, I get front in the front speakers but if I use the right I get rear left...
Hi Grant, yes I've tried the 5.1 setting and it still only outputs two channels. I go to the audio hq panel and do the speaker test and I only get the two front channels. I didn't have a straight jack to phono adapter so I used stereo jack to phono plug: That wouldn't affect it would it?
I'm having some trouble connecting my pc play dvds to my av receive, I've tried the analgoue outs from the sound card to the external INs on my amp but the quality was not good so I tried the digital out from my sound card but it only outputs in stereo :rolleyes:from the digital link. Will...
