WIRELESS MULTI-ROOM AUDIO
The increasing popularity of audio streaming around the home has led to the development of wireless multi-room systems that put streaming at the centre of their offerings. The Naim Uniti System consists of the UnitiServe hard disk player / server and the award winning NaimUniti and UnitiQute all-in-one audio players. A Naim badge ensures high fidelity sound quality with solid build and engineering while wireless connectivity delivers convenience. Uniti players are able to stream from the UnitiServe and any other UPnP server-enabled device on the network, such as a PC, laptop, or NAS drive, enabling convenient access to network-stored music from multiple locations around the home.
The Uniti players with their analogue & digital inputs and network connectivity enable the listener to enjoy multiple music sources, including CD, digital audio streams, FM/DAB/Internet Radio, MP3/iPod and USB memory stick anywhere in the home. Both the NaimUniti and the UnitiQute can be remote controlled using the supplied handsets or via Naim’s n-Stream app. Also like the UnitiQute, NaimUniti has been given Apple authentication enabling front panel USB connection and access to iPod-stored digital media files, bypassing the iPod internal DAC and enabling a digital output for optimised performance.

THX AV receivers win all awards in 2010
In 2009, Denon was king of the world with their AVR1910 and AVR2310. In June 2010, the new Integra DTR 30.2 (Is similar to the Onkyo TX-SR608) was award winner in a group test and now it’s more expensive sibling, the Integra DTR-40.2 (Similar to the Onkyo TX-SR808) is another group test winner. Both these products are THX Select2 Plus Certified meaning film soundtracks are reproduced accurately without any distortion at high reference volume listening. They both support HDMI 1.4 for 3D Video and feature HDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p with Faroudja DCDi. If these Onkyo model sound so fantastic, then be rest assured the matching Integra DTR30.2 and DTR 40.2 models will also be great. You can use them on any speaker system but the perfect partners would be THX-certified speaker systems from MKSound namely, K series and 750 THX system.

PANAMORPH LENS KITS PROVIDE TRUE WIDESCREEN EXPERIENCE
Who are we to argue with the greatest film directors of our time? If Steven Spielberg, George Lucas or Martin Scorsese wanted us to watch their work framed by black bars, they would have filmed them that way. Over 80% of all major motion pictures are in the wider cinematic aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 to 2.40:1, meaning their width is 2.35:1 to 2.40:1 times their height. The problem is that today’s home theatre projectors and LCD TVs show Hollywood blockbusters and HDTV programs in a 16:9 aspect ratio, a width 1.78 times it height. These beautiful, dramatic, and action-packed films are compressed to fit this smaller frame and sandwiched between two very noticeable and highly distracting black “letterbox” bars. The solution: pair a Panamorph lens system with a 16:9 HD projector and a cinemascope 2.35:1 screen to restore the original widescreen cinematic glory of your favourite movies.

PROJECTORS

Both JVC DLA-X3 and JVC DLA-X7 are 3D ready. The advantage of JVC is that you can add a R30 000 FVX200J anamorphic lens for cinemascope projection.
