Hi Guys,
Have had a lot of "bad luck" purchases recently through not finding the right info ahead of purchase (eg Sony Camcorder incompatible with Mac, Sony Ericsson Mobile incompatible with Ford/Sony ICE) so thought would start here and hopefully, for once, avoid any unpleasant surprises!
Am planning to buy some Home Entertainment tech for my husband for xmas / his birthday next month and would appreciate any advice I can get. He originally suggested a wireless Multiroom kit to go with our Mac having seen the Sonos system on the Gadget show, however once I started looking into it I figured it would be best to hook that up with the Panasonic SC-MT1 home cinema we inherited from my uncle but had struggled to set up properly so rarely used.
However reading various forums it seems that it won't work for the other equipment we have, principally Sky+HD, due to lack of optical input. So now I'm back to the drawing board and looking for a new home cinema system - midrange price, but excellent quality (!)
We have a Sony TV KDL 40V3000 and Sky+HD as mentioned. Also plan to get the Sonos wireless multimedia system to use with it as well. Other kit we have linked through the tv at the moment is a Wii and a samsung DVD Recorder / hard drive.
Does anyone have any advice on which systems to consider / what I need to look for pls? Thank you!!!
