I just got a Samsung UN55C6300. I also purchased the USB dongle so that I can connect the TV to my wireless network. So I found the menu to enter the network details and as soon as the TV registered on my network, my router crashed and I ended up having to do a factory reboot and set up the...

Decided to go with the Veebeam as its streams video in 1080p, the iMation only streams in 720

Thanks Adam, I did see the review and thought that it was a bit pricey for what I needed. I get the impression that the Flow is a multimedia wireless device whereas I only need to stream content from my laptop. I didn't notice anything in the review or product specs about the audio...

Hi Guys, I have been researching wireless HD transmitters and receivers as opposed to buying a 60foot HDMI cable to connect my laptop to my Pioneer receiver. Has anyone got any experience with using these wireless devices? I have been looking at the Imation Link. Interested to...

just an extra note, this will be running through my receiver and not directly to my HDTV

Hi Guys, so I have recently moved into a new place and now need to either get a 60 ft HDMI cable to run through my receiver to connect my laptop to my HT or get a wireless HD receiver/transmitter. Since I am renting I would prefer not to run the cable just to avoid messing with the walls, but...

reply to Al... the brand/model was in the thread title... thanks for joining the thread but you got here just as I got to grips with it!! Thanks anyway :)

I realised that you have to treat the TV as a monitor and as such change display preferences to extend the desktop onto the TV. Basically think of the HDMI cable as a monitor cable with sound!!

ok fixed it!!!!

ok guys so i just connected a Mediabridge HDMI cat 2 cable to my laptop and plugged into HDMI 3 of the receiver. TV set to HDMI1 input. No picture or sound coming through. The TV actually immediately set itself to the PC input and I had to change it to HDMI 1 since that is the port receiving...

So in my device manager I have the following entries: Display Adaptors > mobile intel(R) 4 series express chipset family Sound, Video and game controllers > HD Audio device > Intel(R) HD Audio HDMI Does this mean I can only get sound through a HDMI cable from my laptop?

Hi Guys, What can I actually feed through my receiver from my laptop via a cat 2 HDMI with ethernet cable? Is it sound alone? Can I extend my laptop screen to the TV via the receiver? Haven't considered this connection option before so don't know much about it. My receiver manual has...

just got my 1020 - set it up... very impressed... i love it!!

Hi, I am upgrading my HT system and I'm considering the Mirage MX 5.1 surround sound system. Possibly to go with a Pioneer VSX-1020k. What do you think of this set up? The room is not large so the small speakers should be adequate. Thanks

i'm thinking of getting the same receiver dwidd.... seems like great value and has 6 HDMI ports!!

Ok guys, so I now have a skybox which allows me to order online within the US and then my skybox company brings in what I order. I have decided to start by upgrading the receiver and speakers. My current pioneer has no HDMI ports, so this is now a priority in order to get 5.1 surround. I...

CB, my plan was to buy on my next trip to the US. Of course it gives me a limited window to actually test stuff out and this would usually involve a trip to Best Buy, at least to see up close what is available. Since the equipment is to be shipped down (if I go this way) the internet retailers...

CB, sorry, you asked me twice now, the receiver model is VSX-518k. Again, livinng in Trinidad it was the ONLY receiver available in my local hifi/stereo components store!! Bit limited down here, although I'm sure if I venture to Port of Spain (the capital) I will find a store with a wider range.

thanks jason... your comments inspired me to do some more research and there is an interesting discussion here: http://hometheater.about.com/b/2010/03/24/sharp-debuts-aquos-quattron-tv-line.htm (hope this links displays since it is from another site). All in all I think I will look at a...

hi jim... i guess i was looking at a TV around 55-60 inch, perhaps a samsung LED or the new aquos.... but does the 4th colour really make any difference? it always seemed like a marketing gimmick since u can make yellow from the prime colours anyway. but i'm sure you know better. I don't get...

Hi Guys, I want to upgrade my home movie system. Currently have a Sony Bravia KDL-40S4100... 46" inch (i think), Sony BR player BDP-S350 and Bose (yuck!!) speaker system all running through a Pioneer receiver. I'm considering spending 3-4k on new components, particularly focusing on...

Hi david, Yes, the speakers run through the acoustimass module and then from the module to the speakers connections on the back of the receiver. What is the problem with that?

Hi guys, I recently set up my home theatre system using the following components: Sony HD TV Sony Blu-ray dvd Pioneer Receiver Bose Acoustimass series 10 speaker system. during playback I am not getting any sound from the centre speaker or either surround speakers. sound is only...
