browsing on the internet, see a naim dealer stating n-vi in stock, i presume these must be old stock, i would have thought with all the problems i have read about on the forums they would have been re-called until all the problems had been sorted out ?

munch, if you lookback at some earlier threads not all dealers are willing to set them up, mine said he would only set it up if every thing was ready to plug straight in to the n-vi, some dealers are better than others,

My dealer was awesome, arrived with a big toolbox suitable for a F1 pit crew, and, using my existing NAC-A5, created the speaker cables on the spot. Then we measured the speaker distances to set up those parameters and he used a sound pressure meter to measure (and equalize) individual speaker volume levels. He was there for 3-4 hours.
Of course you'll have to come out to California if you want that treatment  |

set up took a while good read of book first.and half an hour bending naim speaker cable.put on roger waters in the flesh live high definition concert.it was mind blowing, to think when run in sound will be even better. then put on jarre in china concert from the forbidden city.the firstthx certified concert filmed in h/d all so mind blowing.i have played 10 or 12 cds this is one very good black box .still playing with set ups, not used dab yet got to get qed to make me a cable up. |

cheers munch, what display are you using and how is it connected, i did not bother with the dab as i have read that the stations in this country use such a low bit-rate signal that at the moment its not worth having, wait for your next update, also what speakers are you using john,

I take you mean Sky audio off the optical connection?
|
|||
|
|
Member |
Yup. Just want to know if the teething problems I've seen on this input are solved in the current boxes. Duncan |

If you refering to audio being delayed from video on sky boxes. to correct this:- would either require a video delay to allow the audio stream to catch up (not what the n-Vi does). OR putting the audio in a time-warp and forwarding in to the future (sadly not possible). |

av@naim, it states in the manual it has a lip-sync feature what is that for then ? the way it reads it should compensate for video/audio delay problems

John,
The lip sync feature is for micro adjustments on the DVD. Duncan |

duncan, the more i read about the n-vi the worse it seems to get, was hoping to use my telewest tv drive via optical into the n-vi, who knows might have the same problem, have sent an e-mail to naim regarding this issue, i await there reply to see if i need to cancel my order before i even get my n-vi, as i stated in my e-mail something that cost £3000 that you can't even watch digital tv through is in my mind taking the piss, at the moment using denon 3805 no problems with lip-sync issues whatever is feed into it, and the dsp modes work with analogue inputs,

Sky itself has always had lipsync issues.
Unfortunately, as stated, there isnt anything that can be done as its the wrong way round for correction. Also, the more revealing and detailed the equipment is that the audio is being passe through, the more noticeable it is. I had a long discussion about this with Chord when i had an av set up. |
