Hi guys. I went out for a couple of hours leaving my father at my house to wait for a delivery. Rather than use the remote for the tv like a normal person, he used the controls at the back & some how managed to put my Samsung TV in store demo mode in the process. Does anyone know how to switch...

It’s not an old system.

I thought about trying that aswell but iTunes wasn’t listed in the installed programs.

Hi all. I recently attempted to update iTunes on my desktop, however there was some unknown issue during this process & the iTunes program has disappeared. I still have the iTunes library file but iTunes itself is gone. I attempted to redownload iTunes but once I had, every time I tried to use...

System is now fully installed & working just as I want it. Many thanks guys.

One question - what is HDMI CEC?

Great, and I assume this setup still gives me full surround sound?

Daft question but how do you set pass through up? I can’t find anything in the receivers menu. “An idiots guide to” would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help chaps.

The reason is because I’ve 3 & 6 year old daughters who could find trouble in an empty room. They can quite happily turn on the TV, select Netflix & amuse themselves for half an hour, throw some more tech in there for little fingers to play with & there could be trouble.

I’ve already checked & it will support optical cable so I think that is my plan. Just when I thought I’d finished running cables! Thanks for your help.

The thing is that I won’t always want to use surround sound with the tv, the sky box only has one HDMI port so would running the HDMI to the tv & an optical cable to the receiver give me the option of sound from either the tv or receiver?

So at present my sky box runs to HDMI1 as the box is placed elsewhere in the room, & the Receiver runs to HDMI2 (arc connection). Am I then right in thinking that if I want surround sound with standard tv broadcast I’m best to run an optical cable between the sky box & the receiver?

Hi all. I’m in the process of assembling my new surround sound system & i’m a tad mistified about Arc & was hoping someone could clear it up for me. My system consists of a Pioneer VSX-832 receiver with a Q Acoustics 3050 cinema speaker pack. Other than the TV, my plan was also to connect to...

Luckily I had ordered some 14 gauge + banana clips from amazon just before your replies. I’m having trouble deciding what to use on the center speaker as it sits near on flush to the wall so need connecters to match, however I think banana clips will stick out to far. I’m debating using Y clips...

That’s great, thanks for the information. The setup has 6 ohm speakers, I’ve been reading reems of text on the preferred gauge of speaker wire to be used. Would you have any input?

Ive what is probably a really noob question but some advise would be appreciated. I’ve finally updated my home theater system, opting for the Q Acoustics 3050 cinema pack along with the Pioneer VSX 832 av receiver. My issue is this, the tall 3050’s have two positive & negative outs per speaker...
