Home theaters/ sound bars

Mad_Cyril I hope you saved your £400 on the MA’s by joining the VIP club………

And a few other bits & pieces.

If it gets enough use, and works well for music too, can probs see me upgrading them in a few years so a brilliant price.

They sound dece as they are though, so hopefully once and done.

Should be perfect for MixPub 😃

Mad_Cyril top that off with a Panasonic UB820 4K player and you’re set for a long time. Congratulations!

Homegrove

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

Mad_Cyril

Thanks for the pointers HG

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 your home theatre still in boxes? 😀

Mad_Cyril

Homegrove Yep! Still box fresh.

Hard to get a joiner in to do the work we want 😕

Homegrove

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.

Homegrove

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.

Animal Farm in 4K is a mindscramble
