Yes I was wondering how the wooden floor would affect things .... and you are correct , its a floating floor ! Im "changing" 1 thing at a time and Ive just installed the spikes and played a few tunes ..... one thing I added was some of those stick on furniture pads onto the discs that the spike sits in. And what a difference that made ..... some nice clear bass tones ! The sub is on spikes directly on the floor and I have a set of discs on order for it also so Ill do the same there and I think it can only improve even more

Update Thanx for all the responses So far the only thing I have done was set the TT to "line" and plugged into "line 1" on the amp. Bingo .... all the gremlins were gone ..... sub working normally Still some tweaking to do to improve the sound The speakers were sitting flat on the wooden floor so I now have spikes for them and as mentioned below some better cables for the TT I think the USB/preamp setup in this TT is definately a bit suspect ..... while researching TTs on youtube I saw where people were even removing the whole circuit board. I will run the CD player and try with a "normal" speaker connection ,etc and see how it goes also. As for the room , its the original living room of a 99yr old Californian bungalow .... currently the dining room but being transformed to the listening room. The dining table/chairs will eventually be replaced with a lounge/sofa/couch That was always in the game plan and they arrived yesterday .... .... the cables that came with the TT are pretty poor.

Greetings I decided to revive my vinyls and setup up a new system before the only thing Ill be hearing is the dinner bell in the nursing home. I had a pair of Mordaunt Short Avant 906i speakers and a Mordaunt Short 907W sub from a previous home theatre setup I bought new a Yamaha A-S701 Amp and Audio-Technica LP120XUSB Turntable Amp is set to "high" impedance Turntable is switched to "phono" and plugged into amp "phono" And yes its bi-wired Sound is very bland and any sort of volume, the cones go nuts Also turning on the sub and it emits buzzing and other horrible noises ( it worked fine before ) What am I missing here ? Thanx

Love how the 'every race in full HD on one ' promo is still being shown also

This country is so ****in backward Rusty and Daz the Donkey in SD

Yes sadly looks that way...... The gear was cheap as chips , subscription was only about $25 a month for a load of channels and my wife would have had her Filipino TV.

Thanx ...that gives me a much better idea of whats needed.......I certainly dont know the finer points of satellites, signals etc. I found this..... For subscribers to receive Cignal broadcasts, they must acquire upon subscription the satellite dish antenna, remote control, and the set top box (Integrated Receiver-Decoder). Cignal’s prepaid electronic loading system, is powered by the prepaid loading platform of Smart Communications, Inc.[2] Cignal uses VideoGuard encryption system to protect its content from signal piracy. MediaScape is utilizing the NSS-11 satellite of SES to provide optimal coverage directly to the target markets.[3] Cignal Digital TV uses the DVB-S2 digital television broadcast standard to accommodate both Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) TV broadcasts, as well as interactive services offered on their satellite TV service. http://en.wikipedia....gnal_Digital_TV I tried googling it but not sure which site will give me the correct info Is this what I need to know?.......looks like a no http://www.satbeams.com/satellites?id=2225

Would I be asking the original question if I knew all that?

If I brought this gear from the Philippines back to Australia would it work? I can buy the equipment outright and setup a subscription/payment method but is it as simple as having it installed correctly and away u go? Thanx. http://www.cignal.tv/Home.aspx http://www.cignal.tv/Postpaid.aspx

Not much....as I buy mostly "secondhand" from this forum......thanx boys ........

To annoy you.

You really need to go back to your doctor....... The guys wants to watch FTA so the TVs tuner obviously covers that. He also wants to watch youtube and iView so the smart capabilities cover that . He also has a budget. Horses for courses. Thankyou and goodnight.

The U50A also isnt a "smart TV"

Isnt there a model under the 3D version that will be cheaper?

You will get a screen something like this.....but obviously with Australian content such as iView To do normal browsing u would plug in your lappy and use the TV as a second "monitor" Get them to demonstrate the internet when u go to the store...........and DONT listen to the sales guy about what u should and shouldnt buy! Dont take any notice of how the quality is instore for FTA or anything.....its all a beatup.........when u get it home it will be more than impressive.(except for the obvious such as reruns of the Love Boat) If possible shop around for the best price at Good Guys and Bing Lee etc .........even check their prices on their websites.

[quote name=' timestamp='1354742340' post='1850655] Maybe worth starting a list am happy to maintain it if people think a good idea. Not only for blu-ray region free but DVD region free as well. Sounds like a good idea Heres a couple of region free offerings ..... http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-blu-ray-player-slim-bdlive-full-hd-1080p/?gclid=COyAovncj7QCFUNMpgodBR0AiQ http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-3d-blu-ray-player-region-free-bd-live-usb-sd/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20121210+-+AU+-+AMAZING+DEALS+ON+TELEVISIONS&utm_content=20121210+-+AU+-+AMAZING+DEALS+ON+TELEVISIONS+CID_836dced4622607ed4b7a182e78917867&utm_source=MailList&utm_term=Click%20view%20images%20to%20see%20this%20image

Ill take these Dragon Hunters Dolphin Tale Marmaduke Rio

I think everyone is missing the OPs problem.........he doesnt need a setup for his own situation...he needs it at a friends place to leave media files behind instead of numerous USB sticks. Your friends need the media player with the built in HDD ......then u can plug in the USB stick ,transfer the files to the inbuilt HDD and off u go with your stick in hand. The Patriot in my sig does this (not that I do,I have the ext HDD attached and transfer files via my network) but these are no longer avaiable. The WD mentioned above will do this also.....heres a section of the manual (http://www.wdc.com/w...4779-705046.pdf)

What would Schmiegel think.... http://www.theaustra...6-1226519905942

Brand new store opened today in my town....

Yea definately! ...will be interesting to see wat it goes for. Didnt notice this in the sellers blurb before... * The newer models such as the BDX1300KY DO NOT come with the firmware disc and are not able to be region unlocked. Going a bit OT here but why do u think the newer models have been released without the region free capabilities?

I just found one in my lounge room...... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toshiba-BDX1200KY-Multi-region-region-free-Blu-ray-Player-/290786935625?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item43b4408349

If the 1300 superceded the 1200 ,which is multi regionable,wouldnt it be the same in that regard? maybe not? ..........if not then buy a 1200 or 3200 Looks like no one here knows either..... http://www.dtvforum....howtopic=107655
