    Random CEC/ARC issue

    So I've plugged the 470 back in as the 1st card and 580 as the 2nd card, same as when the 7950 was in the PC but no joy. Even tried enabling and disabling crossfire but the same thing happens. Have also tried plugging the AVR in via a DVI to HDMI adapter, this worked but only allowed me to use...

    Random CEC/ARC issue

    Evening, So this is a really weird one that I can't figure out... 6 months ago I replaced our old plasma TV with a LG OLED, old plasma didn't have ARC so was never used but when the LG arrived I wanted to use that as I have no optical in the wall as I only planned to use ARC. Start trying to...

    Power Supply sparked and banged

    So yesterday I took my rig into work to setup a VR room in a seminar room, plugged everything into the PC flipped the power switch on the PSU and then proceeded to turn the power onto the PC, everything seemed fine. Fans started spinning up along with HDD's and then about 1 sec later one of the...

    Random Amazon Firestick question (Audio)

    Does it do this with other channels as well as the Firestick? Maybe some TV's you have to enable sound out of the phono put in the settings before it wills top using the TV speakers?

    Optical audio connections

    This is how I understood it as well. The TV may receive an all singing format but will down scale the audio to basic stereo and only output that through the optical link. If you want the audio format you need to connect from source afaik.

    Your Movie Storage

    I'd agree that just for storage a microserver is not really 'best' value but if anything else it offers is wanted then I feel the value is much higher. The 2nd hand one with 2x 1.5tb drives is £130 which I do feel is cheap but yes, if all you need is storage then a NAS makes the most sense...

    Your Movie Storage

    I use a HP NL54 for all my storage needs. I love it. It does handles all my storage along with giving me 24/7 access to the storage should I ever need it, which I do, often. If someone gives me a TV Episode/Movie/Game/Photo at work I can FTP on and put it where it needs to go...

    New Lounge, New 5.1 Setup

    Unfortunately living in Cornwall there aren't many shops around here to demo and/or borrow kit. I'm having a hard time to even get any demoed. Thank you for the offer, I've listed some tracks below and most of them I think have loud bass. I'm used to my car sub vibrating everything in sight...

    I want a Plasma TV again!

    Still rocking a Sammy ps42q97hd from about ten years ago. Lacking connectivity, huge borders, glare is pretty bad and weighs and absolute ton but still think the pq with SD stuff is great. It's died once but 40quid later in TV shop and it's been fault free again. My son has played hours of the...

    New Lounge, New 5.1 Setup

    Hadn't heard of them before, they look pretty cool for movies but the issue I see with the QA sub is with music. Think that the bass shakers would be a good addition once everything else is done though. We both like our bassy music and am worried the QA won't live up to our expectations. I...

    New Lounge, New 5.1 Setup

    Thanks for the reply I've not heard either sub (whole to do with RS about that) but agree that I can't find amazing reviews in regards to the BXW-10 sub but am worried that the QA sub won't have the room filling, vibrating everything feeling that I'm after. How do you find the lows with the...

    Cheap PC Spec

    So after pushing him a little further I have ended up with the following: I'm thinking I'm going to hit buy on the above in the morning but want to check that it all seems ok? Got him to go with a better brand PSU + 8gb of faster RAM. I've stuck with the 6600k as I'm not sure what...
