UB450 is a cheaper option, that’s almost as good.

Mad_Cyril since you have AppleTv Napoleon is probably a good movie to test out your new system. Top notch Dolby Atmos-mix, and great visuals, even if the movie itself splits the crowd hated it/ liked it 90/10. Or rent the special edition of The Abyss from iTunes. Great new Atmos-mix in that one too with all the water effects.

      It’s all sat there in boxes.

      Need a decent unit and a radiator moving before setting up. Bad planning as would be ace now I’m off for two weeks 🤦‍♂️

      Will get queued up for when its done though, thanks for the tip 👍

        Read the manual yesterday, and switched the coding to Auto Format Decoding from Pure Direct. Both are supposed to play whatever you’re watching as it is, but AFD takes into account your speaker setting. Massive improvement. Just huge.

        Went from darkening curtains to full black out ones in the home theatre. Pretty huge difference here in Finland when the sun sets for maybe three hours around midnight. Obviously the opposite is true in the winter, full darkness is not an issue while watching movies. 😀

        Curtain chat… the board is truly alive and well!

          Mad_Cyril this was what I was referring to with you buying expensive stuff to keep in their boxes.

          Got Civil War 4K Blu Ray in the mail today, and it is by far the best reference disc to show off your home theatre to folks with. The Dolby Atmos sound is incredible in it. I also loved the movie otherwise, unlike most here. Importing that disc from the UK was not cheap(Nordic release is disappointing, regular Blu Ray with a 5.1 sound), so I better actually like the movie too. 😀

              It dawned on me today at the pool what you were saying 😂😂

              Have decided to get moving on the project myself.

              How hard can it be!?!?

                I thought civil war was mreh. But now I know there’s a reference quality blu-ray of it I’m willing to give it another try.

                  Millsy some people actually buy movies they don’t like that much for the technical specs. I see it all the time in the collectors/ home theatre groups I am in in Facebook. I don’t have that kind of money.

                          Just installed the Apple 4K TV thing, hard wired to the router, in the cinema room.

                          Massive image improvement, can auto adjust to the video / audio output and seems the telly can handle most.

                          Just need to sort the surround out now, waiting on the plumber to come and do the radiator move first.

                          Anyone know if you can run with a half setup, so just front speakers and the sub? Would mean I can at least start but wondering if not having the rear speaker up would mean sound gaps!

                            Mad_Cyril your AV-receiver should automatically adjust for the amount of speakers if you set it up right. Don’t be afraid to read the manual.
