I just thought the cambridge would be a better processor and if I ever need to use it purely as an AVR then it could hold its own...

it is about 6cm shorter in depth which is fine for my doors to close, however I did want something that is more recently spec'd (HDMI 1.4) and better processing and power than my current onkyo 875. if it can drive my speakers without the NAD power amp then great. I guess i am just over the onkyo - massive unit and gets very hot...... i am struggling to find many users of the 751R with anything similar to the Krix

found a good deal on the cambridge audio 751r - thinking this may be enough to drive my speakers (without the power amp) - while my set up is in a small family room. Anyone had any experience with this AVR? some poeple in the stores have said that the low current amps (CA, Arcam, Rotel) would drive the Krix speakers with no problems, but it would always be best with a dedicated power amp. Any thoughts?

Yes/no?

Is this still for sale?

That was the first thing I thought of, however the length of it can;t change if i want to have the Neuphonix next to them, and my Seismix 5 subby. could buy a deeper cabinet, however I thought with a new AVR I would also get HDMI v1.4 and other more recent advances in technology with it. and YES, it would be cheaper to get a new cabinet. cheers.

Hi all - was wondering if anyone could help here. For the past few years I have been running my Krix Neuphonix, Epicentrix and Equinox speakers using an Onkyo AVR-875 as a pre-amp to a NAD T975 (the onkyo by itself couldn;t drive them properly. The NAD powers the speakers very nicley, however they are both beasts of machines, and sitting in my cabinet, I can't close the cabinet doors. I was wondeirng if there is anything on the market today, an all in one AVR that would be suited to these speakers and drive them properly wihout the need for a separate power amp? Budget would be up to $2k-2.5k. Would the new Pioneers or anything in Marantz, Cambridge Audio drive ghese speakers properly? Any help would be great. Thanks

Does anyone know of there is a TAP that allows u to change the view of the EPG so that one channel is displayed with all shows shown from top to bottom? It is like the EPG on the Panasonic plasmas...the current topfield 7160 EPG only allows left to right viewing. Also - anyone else find it hard to specifically find TAPs that they want? there isn;t a decent system for sorting out what the TAPs actually do. cheers.

Great - thanks for your help. Not enough items to warrant the price increase. Will grab the 7160 today. Cheers.

Looking to get the 7160, but not sure if the 2400/2460 is worth the increased price. Not fussed for the PVR to be connected to the net, but I do like the IR and price point of the 7160. Do the Masterpiece models (2400/2460) actually offer better quality parts or better TV tuner? Or besides the extra USB/eSata, wifi and ICETV support, they are the same? Cheers.

hi guys - looking to buy the Toppy 7160 soon, JBs said best price was $430. the sales guy also told me that the intelligent recording will continue to record a program even if it runs over time/changes time etc.. is this true? Also, he said that when you play back a recording, the ads are all edited automatically, is this true? And also, he said you can export a recording to a HDD and the file is a .MP4 file which can be played on anything right away...is this true? Any other major drawbacks for this model? Appreciate your help. Cheers.

Finally received my 3 copies of Tron 4-disc (3D) today. I did complain to Amazon that it took so long considering I paid for expediated delivery, and it took alot longer than standard post, so the good chap at Amazon refunded me the entire amount for all 3 copies (thought they would only refund me the shipping costs). So 3 copies for free....great customer service, I will continue to shop at Amazon now.

Still waiting for my 4-disc 3D version that was shipped via expediated shipping with i-parcel. Never again doing this.... My copy of Taxi driver that was sent after Tron, and via normal standard shipping arrived yesterday.

My i-parcel tracking shows that it is still in the US - is that tracking service even reliable??? What did you tracking staus say? Cheers.

I ordered the 4 disc 3D set from Amazon with expediated shipping and it hasn't arrived yet. Anyone else still waiting for their's? I'm in SA. I did notice some people recived thieirs on Fridayi nthe Eastern states, with expediated shipping as well. cheers.

what shipping method did you use?

In most (or all) 3D releases, you get the 2D version of them ovie on bluray as well. there are only a few which have the 3D and 2D version of the movie on the same disc, otherwise you get 2-discs. Tron, Despicable Me, Monster House etc... if you buy the 3D pack, you get the 2D bluray version as well....

Yousure? I just bought mine from JBs for $25 and there are 4 disc inside: - 2 x bluray (movie and special features) - 1 x DVD - 1 x digital copy better take yours back...

Damn....and I was really impressed with Amazon US shipping times. Amazon UK seem to take longer than normal now. Used to be about a week, now its taking a good 2 weeks....

Well it took exactly 14 days for me to receive Ten Commandments on normal shipping, so expediated better be quicker than that, otherwise I'm asking for the difference in shipping costs back.

Has anyone received their copy from Amazon US yet? I ordered the 3D 4-disc pack with expediated shipping, however tracking it says it is still in NJ, US....it shouldn't take too long should it?

Looks like a reference disc PQ and AQ wise.. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/TRON-Legacy-...y/18434/#Review and its confirmed as region free Anyone know if the local AUS version will have shifting aspect ratios and 7.1 DTS-HDMA sound? Cheers.

I understand the issue with the Onkyo 875 is that you can't have the HDMI output on the amp on for video when using it purely for audio (with BDP-300), otherwise the sound won't work, because the Onkyo requires a handshake for the HDMI out. To get around this, you have to turn the HDMI out 'off' for video, but then you are always changing it back (without the OSG) for use with other sources. Bit of a pain.... Cheers.

Thanks Wheelz - seems easy enough. Just hope this doesn't have audio issues with the Onkyo 875. cheers.

Hi guys, looking for a decent 3D bluray player for the Panasonic 50VT20A plasma. I require 2x HDMI outputs as my Onkyo 875 only has v1.3b HDMI. I was considering the Panasonic BDP-300 however I have read that it has audio problems with the Onkyo 875 via the secondary HDMI. So I have been looking at the Oppo BDP-93. Where is the best place to get a region free model from (price wise) I see the Oppo Australian store has it for $975 already region free modded. any other places to buy it cheaper? Is buying from Amazon and then doing the mod kit yourself the best way? Appreciate your help. Cheers.
