frankly so far I don't recall any encounter with bitrate or wat issues when playing on the zidoo all these years

my stupid problem all these years was only ethernet stuck at 100mbps

huh??? why stuck at 100mbps? coz player limitation ???

my stupid PPPoe switch la

only 2 outputs is gigabit, the rest 100......
using wired ard the house for the media player

all these while I tot player rosak, be it q10 or zidoo

Fuhhh, the new firmware v2.3.80. Link is here below

http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/be...released.91052/

From what I see yesterday, the trailers are now working and it's automatic when you go into the movie profile in HT 4.0. I don't venture much into audio but it seems many new updates

Prior to this I also uploaded the v2.3.60 beta which is also better compared to the last official firmware (forgot which series)

So far so good with the latest 2 beta firmware

hey guys.... if u can point me in the right direction...

where r the discussions/threads on Atmos upward firing speakers?

just planning ahead.... current 5.1->5.1.2... is this going to be any good?!

my room is quite small, low ceiling... maybe it will work OK..?

the 2 atmos speakers - r they usually placed on the floor or on top of the 2 main speakers to decr distance to ceiling?

if latter, problem... my main speakers top are curved, not flat!

which speakers are most popular... wharfdale, JBL..??

ur ceiling plaster ceiling ?
cannot do downwards firing speakers ar?

Its plaster ceiling but i really duwan to cut it up.

Ceiling height is rather low, room small.... so maybe the reflection may work.

But after reading a bit more, seems many say its a lousy idea, little effect.

Then, there is this atmos virtual effect from new AVRs.... same, some say ok some say useless.

So...

the reflection i got hear from CMY demo room before.. its impressive.. but i m not sure what they did to their demo room.. i wont say its 100% not working but for sure its not as direct as ceiling setup.. if there's a pair of reflective speaker that can be loan to test the setup before purchase i will say that could be a good idea.. what you say bro?

If you cannot follow atmos, you can try dtsx speaker layout. Put your overhead speaker like SHL & SHR position at side wall.

yeah, i wud like to test them if available!

my SL and SR are now wall mounted.

i m wondering what diff it will make if i place a pair of atmos speakers SHL+SHR on top of the SL+SR.

can angle them to fire upwards to reflect down to target listener position, right?

my FL+FR tops aren't flat but curved - will be hard to put SHL+SHR on top of them.

this onkyo TX-RX840 is now sold out!

it was available at desa but no more, can't find any online seller stocking them.

i suppose can do with RZ740 - 185W is good enough, right?

i m dragging my feet becos my non-atmos AVR and non-HDR TV need to be changed together. if not, no point.

both are still going strong!

arr.... too bad...... Did you try A&L Audio? Maybe can try call them, their website did shown RZ840.

Not sure what different between RZ740 and 840....... 185W should be enough ba... just make sure new amp have preout so can add power amp in future..... haha

I think is just like denon X3700 and X4700, price range seem similar..... U no consider Denon? hehe

Yeah.... if u change new amp, TV also need to change to pair with yr new gear.... hehe

Just like mine, change new TV, new amp, new media player.....

The atmos effect is it better using SHL & SHR or FHL & FHR??

Not sure is it because my small speaker, my FHL & FHR cant really hear feel atmos sound.....

I hv 2 sets. The other one is ok, no need to change anything.

I hv onkyo n Denon, prefer onkyo... crispier, great for vinyls.

Home theater kaki's know v well... Speakers last v long, dun stinge, esp mains.

TV, media player, every 5-7 years.. AVR 8-12.

Turntable best... Last forever!❣️

haha.... to me everything 10 yrs.....

B4 my TV and amp kena lightning strike, it had been almost 10yrs......

So hope my new set can last next 10 yrs

Luckily my pioneer managed to repair and make it to drive front L/R.....at least now soundstage is much better than before.... quite satisfy now...

Just that been using Wharfedale for almost 10 yrs...time to upgrade

If you only got 1 pair overhead speakers. SHL & SHR position are better.

are you using just 1 pair shown in the picture or there is another pair in front?

before fixing them at ceiling, did u try a "reflect from ceiling" position... any diff?

those speakers are normal bookshelfs, right?
