- Comments:
This was my single most expensive item in my 'sound' setup, i figured that spending
plenty on the amp now will make it more future proof, plus you always tend to keep your
amp and change everything else so it's better to have something that will last.

Originally
i wanted the Pioneer 525 DVD player, unfortunately
it was out of stock
when i ordered, so went for the top of the range Samsung, with a great menu system. With
PAL, NTSC and SECAM output and NTSC to Quasi PAL (PAL60) and full NTSC to PAL50
conversions it makes watching and taping (erm backing up) DVD's onto PAL VHS video a
breeze. Also includes DTS output and built-in DolbyDigital Decoder.
Update:
Future purchase will probably be a 2nd hand Pioneer DV717 to match my Amp.

- Comments:
There where many reasons why i picked this TV, it's 43" (109cm) screen was one
of them, being only a 4:3 screen has not put me off at all, it has an anamorphic
wide screen mode which when activated will display a 39" picture
(diagonal), it had
an excellent review in the press and cost (only!) 1589 pounds with the optional stand.
My only complaint would be the ON LED, which seems to be the brightest led they could find
which stands out when trying to watch in total darkness
It was purchased online at WebElectricals
who provided the best pre and after sales service of ANY mail order company i have ever
dealt with, i can recommend them for any purchases, and
where one of the cheapest too!
CD Player:
Philips
CD-618
- Comments:
My good 'ol faithful
CD player, completely
faultless and now with my Pioneer amp i
can use the digital output, it has the added benefit of playing the most buggered CD's you
can find.
Video #1
Sony SLV-F900
- Comments:
This was purchased from RadioRentals who strangely
had them on offer, brand new,
unopened for £199.99, i snapped one up quick and it replaced my old Sony VCR that had
worn audio heads.
Video Camera
Sony CCD-913E
- Comments:
Probably one of the highest quality Hi8 camcorders, with Hi8 XR (Extended
Resolution) and a 1/2 million pixel CCD the quality is only just below that of MiniDV,
also includes Digital and Analogue
effects, 4:3, Cinema and Anamorphic wide screen
recording
modes, titler, program AE modes, NightShot, SteadyShot, HiFi Stereo, built-in light and
LaserLink, what more could you ask for?
