Ryan95 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have a weird problem with my system which involves GN'R. My blu-ray player and tv connected via a reciever/amplifier play all blu rays and dvds fine, yet when i try and watch a guns dvd or guns blu ray (paris 1992) every like 25-30 mins the picture flickers off for a couple of seconds then the picture returns with the HDMI2 sign at the top 60hz blah blah. It's driving me mad and as i say any other blu ray or dvd i watch no problem. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Probably a stupid question, but I feel better asking it here than on the Blu-Ray.com forum What exactly happens when you watch something in 7.1 on a 5.1 system? Does the system somehow consolidate the 7 channels down to 5, or do you just lose 2 channels altogether? The Fury Road BD got me wondering this. Still haven't solved my audio delay issue if anyone is wondering. Someone on the B-R.com forum told me to turn off the audio processing in either the TV or the player (Cant remember which), but I didn't see the option to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 To what I understand, it plays it as lossy 5.1 core audio.Google that more if you want because I don't feel like getting in to all that As for your other issue, I wish I had an answer for you. I have audio on my TV turned off and everything (cable, video games, blu rays, etc.) gets played through the receiver and speakers and there's no issue, so not exactly what to say there?

Powerage5 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 So there's no way to play lossless audio for a 7.1 disc on a 5.1 system? Lame Maybe I'll ask at Best Buy or a local A/V shop to see if they've got any ideas about the audio delay. Had to use Sony support right when I got the TV and they were totally useless.

Black Sabbath Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nope. You could just get a receiver and build your own 7.1, speaker by speaker And I would find a local A/V shop. I like Best Buy a lot, but unless your store has a Magnolia section, they likely aren't going to be able to answer that question. And even then it's a stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 To what I understand, it plays it as lossy 5.1 core audio.No. That's gotta be on the receiver's end.I will try to look into P5 issue today as I just realized last night I might have the same issue with my Samsung TV / Home Theater.

Black Sabbath Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 The lossy bit maybe, but if his system doesn't support 7.1 then it should just play the core 5.1, wouldn't it?I don't know. Just get two more speakers, P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yeah, I was addressing the lossy bit. Getting a new receiver and building your own 7.1 is a great choice -- for a millionaire like P5, or a drug lord like me but most people do not have that option, they would rather know they're still getting HD lossless encoding.

Black Sabbath Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Would you rather know, or make SURE that's what you're getting by building your own system?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I should take a picture of my set-up. It's pretty ghetto at the moment - my TV is missing a stand so I have it balancing precariously on a chair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I dumped a ton of money into my audio set up over the past year and really neglected my home theater. I have a mid range 55" TV currently and a so so soundbar. I really need to get around to upgrading my whole home theater sound system, then replace my TV early next year.

I watched a few things on Netflix in 4K last night which looked awesome of course. I'm really liking the upscaler on 720/1080 content though. We have Uverse which generally looks like shit, but the upscaler in this has really improved the shitty signal it's getting. I haven't played any games on it, but the response time is pretty damn low so I'm assuming the PS4 will look great on it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I'm still more than happy with my Plasma so I don't plan on getting a new TV any time soon (unless my Sony dies, but hopefully that doesn't happen!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually though, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually though, probably.JMO but if I owned a good quality Plasma TV, which I do, I would not be in a hurry to upgrade to 4K.I have read that 4K provides no noticeable benefit at normal viewing distances, say 10-12 feet, unless you get above an 80" screen size.http://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/4k-ultra-hd-uhd-vs-1080p-full-hd-tvs-and-upscaling-comparedPlasma HD kicks LCD HD's TV's ass picture performance wise.4K LCD TV's have the same flaws, motion blurring, off axis picture washout, Inferior black level, as regular HD LCD TV's.It sucks that a superior technology dies for no good reason. http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/hdtv/death-of-plasma-tv.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Oh trust me, I completely agree. I've never watched a 4K presentation on a 4K TV so I can't speak for it in that aspect, but any 4K I've seen so far hasn't "wow'd" me displaying anything else and I'd definitely say my plasma puts off a superior picture, 4K television or not.And for reference, I have a Panasonic Plasma 65" VT60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
