Anyone have any recommendations to what would best???

At the moment I have a 40" Samsung HD lcd and ps3 and want a home theatre system to do the ps3 justice.

I'm setting a pretty tight budget as that's all I have to spend, around $400-$800.

Open to suggestions but I'm after something with full 360degree HD sound, doesn't have to be overly loud just good quality and fairly compact (Satellite speakers are a maybe) & looking for wireless capabilities.

Any help appreciated,

Brett.

Mate even those cheap surround systems can be good.I bought some no name brand thing from Aldi.The thing is awesome for the price.

Here are some systems in your price range:

I think you need an amp for the Creative products,im not sure.

How big is the size of the room where the PS3 is in?

Logitech Z5500 would be good for small to mid size rooms & they are available in about every electronic shop.

For larger size rooms, I heard those entry level Yamaha home theater packages are pretty decent (comes with a 5.1ch receiver & speakers), think JB hi fi have some in stock.

Nah, they should have build in amp like most other PC speakers.

If you can afford to wait and save a bit extra I'd recommend you get a bigger system. The ps3's sound quality it awesome and you should try to maximise it! I use it watch all my movies and stuff on as well as gaming. It kicks arse!

Try to get a 6.1 receiver. Yamaha is always a good price for what you get in return. And get some solid speakers! JB or Harvey Normal have a good range. Harvey Norman usually has a higher floor price, but you be able to negotiate a waaaaaaaay lower price than JB. (usually). Accusound are good speakers! Australian made too :banana:

The room is fairly small that's thing I won't need a super power full system, only prob is it's an open room and no door...

Also considering this system here it has the optical link, and the anynet connection that will go well the samsung lcd

In that case, the Z5500 would be good for you, that or any other high end PC speakers, (from like Creative, Altec lansing etc etc)

The Z5500 has optical input with build in DD & DTS decoders, & I'm pretty sure most other high end PC speakers also do.

The link doesn't work.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
