Bravia - 5.1 AV setup

-






A brief description of my home Bravia /5.1 AV Receiver setup is appended. This may be elementary to most but it took me a while to figure it out, in particular, routing the 5.1 to the Mac and the optical settings on the PS3.


Astro. On the back of the LCD, the Red White Yellow RCAs route to the Astro decoder. Video and audio (on the LCD) are settled with this arrangement.

DVD. The black Giraffe HDMI > HDMI cable routes to the AV Receiver that incorporates a HD DVD player. The Giraffe not only settles video and sound for DVD but enables what is called ‘Bravia Sync’. This feature enables Astro or any unit connected to the LCD to sound on the 5.1 arrangement and controlled with a single remote. The ‘sync’ feature also embraces iPods and the iPhone through the nifty little ‘DMPORT’ which I will explain in another post.


MacMini. The Xtreme Mac HDMI > DVI cable plugs into the MacMini. For the Mac to sound on the LCD, the green 1.8 > 1.8 mini stereo cable plugs into the audio jack of the Mac but for the Mac to sound on the 5.1 as well, a channel is chosen, in this case ‘TV’. To enable this, the Grey and Green RCAs from the ‘TV’ channel on the LCD are plugged to the corresponding ‘TV’ channel on the AV Receiver. What is apparent is the ‘sync’ feature minimizes cabling with the single Giraffe.


PlayStation 3. The Belkin HDMI > HDMI swings from the side of the LCD to the PS3 but for audio, I used an Optical Toslink as an alternative. The TOS > TOS optical cable connects the PS3 to the AV Receiver. The audio preference on the PS3 is then configured accordingly.


Cheers, Tommy

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte...

MING: 1999-2009

Preamble:- 8.48am February 21 st 2009 saw the demise of Ming, a confidante, companion, friend and a bundle of joy to Alex Peters, not to mention, Flo, Dian, Carol and those his life touched. Ming the entertainer de-stressed anyone who laid eyes on him and girls in particular just loved to cuddle the pocket dynamo. He did not have a 'business end' and given the pain he endured, he was still all 'fun'. He succumbed to cancer but not before thumbing his nose at kemo several years. His resilience was amazing. He hung on as long as he could. The video posted below is Alex’s labor of love for his dear Mingy. I sense dread in the impending storm. Mingy paused. “Would you face it alone! You see, I have no fear of ponies, none at all. I know them and they me” . You look bushed, your voice, tired. Your effort was more daunting than thought, wasn't it! That is because I am complex, born and bred. Just look at me and you thought I was a thoroughbred mutt? ...
