Anyone using Yamaha YSP-2700 soundbar? Or anyone has any good soundbar recommendation which are not too expensive? Thanks.

android7 was easier... kodi could read ext hdd, playback any file, give up to dd5.1 audio if passthru n transcoding set on.

recent android8 update messed it up, need to go thru es file explorer, choose kodi player to get there.

above is for component home theater.

HITB or soundbar - no idea... i usually do not comment on things i hv not used before...

How's the sound quality? Is it only suitable for certain room shape & size?

i just googled this soundbar... cost rm4-5k.... more than the TV!

with such a costly bar, i do not understand why u wud want to use the tv (your sony) as a player for playback.

unless the files are all small n low level... but then u hv a NAS.

another rm500 or so for a separate player, u get all the video and audio passthru player=>soundbar->tv.

that way, u can play anything w/o hassle, get best performance for tv, no need to use arc with tv passthru restrictions.

the tv player video quality is nowhere near what other players can deliver; and i am sure audio will be better, even for a soundbar.

as for tv youtube-audio... that is not an issue - whenever u use youtube of the tv, u get audio from tv, nothing to do with soundbar or box player.

I hv used himedia q10pro for 1.5 years now.

For local playback, it is among the best players u can find.

More so if u r into big full bluray 4k hdr files with hd audio.

To my eyes, himedia q10pro native player output is superior to kodi app player... or any other app player.

Tv player.. to me, it is poor enuf that i never use it!

Android version is fine, 7.0; just dun buy anything android 5 or even 6 now since android 9 is already launched.

yes, that's what i do all the time.
how do u find the sony androidtv?
i do not understand why some people say they hate it... shud be the same as the sharp androditv.
i gotta get my hands on somebody's sony androidtv and check it out.

just about ALL TV's come with shitty players for playback.
becos TV makers are supposed to make good displays, they dun spend research/money to make good players - and rightly so - that's somebody else's biz.
just that i think i am failing to convince u to forget using it.
u know... it does a lot of injustice to the thousands of rm u already spent on the TV and soundbar!

Never used this sleep thingy.

But on remote, there is a sleep button to set 30min, 60, 90, 120, 180, off.

I suppose thats what its for... to shut down tv, whatever it is doing.

Yes, i m headache to choose lc60ua6800x or sony kd65x7500f

I believe the above works flawlessly if the soundbar comes with 2 hdmi input

too bad mine low end, only have 1 hdmi port which is ARC 

anyway from the image, there is no connection from bluray player to TV, how to transmit the video 

Err... I think in netflix, the 4k UHD tagged shows is definiteltly with hdr, while hdr tagged shows may be in hd only with hdr, at least I can see the hdr tagged shows are less sharper compare to playing with mibox where the same shows are tagged as 4k uhd.

Edit: nevermind, i think both u n voncrane are correct. Mibix is the crappier ones haha

Hello peeps,
After I bought my first "4K" smart tv - LG 49UJ630T + HDR, last year my hunger grows for more

Hence I saw a promotion on this very specific model sharp LC60ua6500X, after going through some pages, this specific model's price had really gone down? Why is that

Any problems arise? My current 49 incher couldn't satisfy me now, I want more

I guess the audio problem pass through is that hissing annoying sound? I fixed it by turning it off few seconds and turning it on again.

How was the wow factor moving from 49 to a 60 inch? The quality of of the sharp models are the same?

Because my nvidia shield(for kodi stuffs) is otw, so I might not need the smart tv function

To put it simply, HDR is definitely 4K, while 4K is not necessarily HDR.

Wait, did I confuse you?

For you guys who have a soundbar and connected via ARC or Optical do you experience that the TV seems to be sending rogue signal to the soundbar making it switch modes?

Im using an LG SK9 soundbar and when I play Spotify it would switch to ARC even when the TV is switched off and from what I read the mode only switches when it detects a signal. I dont think it's my soundbar because when all the cables are removed, spotify works just fine.
