User reviews

Loïc

Good overall but some features are inoperative.
I set up the Antal Pack speakers in bi-amp and in this case, it is not compatible with a subwoofer. However, the product user guide provides for a bi-amplified 5.1 connection:
"It is possible to connect front speakers supporting biamping to improve quality of the bass and treble. The maximum number of channels available with this connection is 5.1 because Bi-Amping speakers require.
One amplifier for the tweeter jacks and one amplifier for the woofer jacks".
I contacted customer service who told me that it was either 5.1 in single amplification, or 5.0 in bi-amp. I asked them why their user manual showed a 5.1 bi-amp diagram and they never answered me.
Result: my subwoofer is in the basement...
Another issue with the HDMI OUT SUB output which only lets the image through and not the sound, which may seem logical, but I have a wireless Home-Cinema headset powered by HDMI and I would have appreciated being able to connect it to this output.
Finally, the ARC functionality is not very stable, but impossible to know which of my devices is causing these problems.
Otherwise, the AccuEQ Room automatic calibration is a real plus.

Bien dans l'ensemble mais certaines fonctionnalités sont inopérantes.
J'ai monté les enceintes du Pack Antal en bi-amp et dans ce cas, ce n'est pas compatible avec un sub-woofer. Pourtant, le guide utilisateur du produit prévoit un branchement bi-amplifié en 5.1 :
"It is possible to connect front speakers supporting biamping to improve quality of the bass and treble. The maximum number of channels available with this connection is 5.1 because Bi-Amping speakers require.
One amplifier for the tweeter jacks and one amplifier for the woofer jacks".
J'ai contacté le SAV qui m'a répondu que c'était soit 5.1 en amplification simple, soit 5.0 en bi-amp. Je leur ai demandé pourquoi leur manuel utilisateur montrait un schéma en 5.1 bi-amp et ils ne m'ont jamais répondu.
Résultat : mon sub-woofer est à la cave…
Autre souci avec le sortie HDMI OUT SUB qui ne laisse passer que l'image et pas le son, ce qui peut sembler logique, mais j'ai un casque sans fil Home-Cinema alimenté par HDMI et j'aurais apprécié de pouvoir le connecter à cette sortie.
Enfin, la fonctionnalité ARC n'est pas très stable, mais impossible de savoir lequel de mes appareils est à l'origine de ces soucis.
Sinon, la calibration automatique AccuEQ Room est un vrai plus.

Auto-calibration needs to be reviewed.
