Easiest solution: Don't watch Astro... watch Netflix/Hulu Plus, or at the very least, HyppTV.

End up I returned Philips and change to Yamaha.

Blankerroo,

Been thinking this last but cannot find alternative for:

1. Cartoons channel- for the kids
2. Sports channel- I occasionally watch football and rugby.

Can your guys proposed alternative?

Thanks

What model did you buy?

i read a few of you have philips 5140. one problem bugging me with this is once on standby, the last volume level will not be saved and revert back to default at level 18.

anyone has this issue? i am using optical connection.

I'm not using optical connection, but instead am using HDMI. No such issue for me. The volume will remain as it is before standby.

I'm using HDMI ARC, no issues on this.

No problem with mine, using HDMI.

By the way, anyone knows how to set the 'Personal' sound profile? Or can it be set at all...?

hi all....my philips 9100 finally arrived.....
received box yesterday, immediately setup right after i got it
price bought was 2350 cash term only.....errrr can't find any shop selling below 2300

first impression......built is quite solid.....unpacking was fairly fast and easy

setup.....simple out of box setup.....didn't need to read the manual.....just to see how easy it was

pairing with my ipad, iphone and android was easy
ARC tested and android TV tested as well....all worked flawlessly

so here's my first listening impression.......but wait....i'm comparing SQ against my main audio rig.....so its kinda far off by means of SQ, room and tuning
but anyway.......

so i had Peter White playing for a start with the Playing Favourites album.....
the sound surprisingly clean, crisp and with some attack
tonal balance is somewhat skewed a little bright.....but i guess its new and not run in yet
bass needed some time to work.....d sub sounded tight and a little boomy for now
transient is acceptable
pace between d soundbar and woofer is ok albeit some volume matching needed but i have yet to discover how do i match the volume between the two

some lack of synergy at certain areas.....

overall for a budget tv/quick movie/light music listening that's worth looking at

for those who is looking for a 2 in 1, stylish, average sounding multi media evening enjoyment without the hassle of high end gears with cables all over....i would say this is the unit.....

ok....here's a little question that i have for current owners

i'm using the soundbar paired against Sharp LC60LE950X
to recognize the soundbar...i have to turn on the soundbar then only the tv....
and half way through....i select bluetooth.....i can play from my ipad
but switching back to HDMI ARC after that.....the tv doesn't recognize it.....then i hv to power off the tv and on it again in order to have the arc working...

any thoughts???

also CEC turned on...but turning the tv doesn't on the soundbar at the same time.....
