RE: F**K RETRO ANYTHING !

Hmmm, memo to self, idea for a TV show "punk idols" hosted by eddie tenpole ;-)

RE: views on sony davs500 home cinema kit

The DAVS500 plays CDR`s but I can`t confirm CDRW, it doesn`t play MP3`s.

Sonically I`d say it`s pretty good, mine replaced a Kenwood CD, Cyrus amp & Tannoy speakers and I think it does a better job.

Has anyone else had this problem ?

I have a Sony DAVS500 system and whilst 99.9% of the time it works flawlessly every now and again the picture is interrupted by a brief red flash, it`s almost like an extra frame in the movie that happens at the same place each time but I cannot freeze on it so I`m guessing the player is skipping. As the disks play OK on another player I`m guessing it`s not the disk themselves causing the problem. Has anyone else noticed this on their system ??

It`s not due to layer changes as it sometimes happens 2 or 3 times in succession and not all disks are affected, so far I`ve noticed it on A Knights Tale & The Princess Bride.

RE: Has Alan Partridge been re-released on DVD yet?!?!

Do you know what the objections were to the extra footage ?

RE: HOME CINEMA PACKAGES - ADVICE ON 3 BELOW !?

I have the DAVS500 and think it`s an excellent package, can`t fault the picture or sound even when compared to similarly priced separates. If you`d like a bit more in the way of opinion check out www.avforums.com and read some of the past threads on the DAVS500 !!

RE: Connection problem Sky thru VCR

Cheers Pete, I`ve tried all options to no avail. I`ve now got the VCR routing through the Digibox which seems to work OK. Weird !

Connection problem Sky thru VCR

I have a Pace digibox, an Aiwa FX7800 VCR and when I connect them as per manual via scart I get no Sky picture when the VCR is set to "TV" mode, all I get is sound and a blue screen. Anyone got any ideas ??

RE: FAKE AUTOGRAPHS (In Ilford)

Manchester, I thought that was only a fictional place in soap operas, not like Walford ;-)

Microphone connection for Karaoke

Does anyone know a way of connecting a microphone to a Lecson DVD900 so that sound would mix with a karaoke disk. I`ve a feeling it`s not possible but if any resourceful person out there has any suggestions I`d be most grateful.

RE: Help please with connecting up Sony DAV 500

On my TV (Thomson) you need to set the input to S-Video from the on-screen menu otherwise you get B&W, that might be your problem.

RE: FAKE AUTOGRAPHS (In Ilford)

maybe Ilford is the centre of the universe and the new messiah will be born in Cranbrook Rd ! spooky or what

RE: dvd player recommendation

Debenhams are selling the Lecson 900 for £150 at the moment, it has a 5.1 decoder on board and full outputs, is hackable and works pretty well too.

RE: How do I connect a DVD player to a scartless TV?

Why not just get an aerial splitter from Maplins or somebody for a couple of quid and plug into the TV aerial input ?

RE: SONY DAVS 500

Yep, I think the button on the remote is on the bottom right marked "amp setup" or something (check the manual) but you can drop the sub level by up to 6db from there.

RE: FAKE AUTOGRAPHS (In Ilford)

False advertising even if he dosn`t say it`s genuine, it`s by implication. Report him to trading standards. Anyway I`m surprised Arsenal players can sign their names !

PS I know Ilford well, I`m in Dagenham, used to spend every weekend up the Palais.

RE: Existing On Digital / ITV Digital subscribers - offer - sort of...

All they offered me was a months free primary channels, big deal ! Not surprisingly I`m now back with Sky.

RE: sony dav-s500

Craig,

I don`t have one but I`m thinking about it, just a note to say that you can get it for £454.99 from Hotkit.co.uk.
