    Wow, that really is a great deal alright. I wonder if this is nationwide....

    Anyway, i'm guessing this is the free dvd HC system. I have one and its an amazing system for 200e. Can connect sky, 360 and ps3 all through digital optical and the 5.1 surround is great. SO loud too, and dont get me started on how much of a difference the subwoofer makes.

    The 32v4000 is a great tv too and 540e would be quite a good price for it on its own in a shop, not a mind with a HC system thrown in.

    This really is a bargain lads!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 505 ✭✭✭hargo


    i was in the Drogheda store today and they told me the offer was coming in and would be €649

    You were robbed for the HDMI lead, only e2.50 in Tescos! :D

    The deal sounds awfully tempting but I'd be shot if I came home with another telly! :o

    399 sterling up north. Given the exchange rates atm it could almost be worth the trip over the weekend if you were interested in this. Working out around 462/463 atm.

    Question about this model. It says that you can "Play from and record direct to USB". Does that mean you can record tv onto usb through the dvd player ?

    Had a glance over the manual there. available here

    Didnt have time for a full look, but on page 66 was the only reference to recording i could find, and it seem to just be talking about recording mp3 to the USB from an audio cd. So not much use.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 828 ✭✭✭bored_newbie


    On page 41, the subtitle under Enjoying DivX Videos says
    (Except for United Kingdom and North American models)

    So no divx playback?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,369 ✭✭✭madmoe


    Just called them there now, still a few left, though not many.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,299 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    Anyone know if this is available in other stores?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,369 ✭✭✭madmoe


    Nope, I asked them that as well.

    If anyone is thinking of going North for this Currys have a "ring and reserve" facility on their website so that you can be sure that they will have stock for you!

    sold out in ballincollig and mahon point too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,736 ✭✭✭ch750536


    The site says:

    DivX : No

    Baffled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,736 ✭✭✭ch750536


    Also no audio in to the surroundsound apparently, 1 device only.

    Comment on Amazon:
    'Sadly, it can't connect to the 360, so i've still got to use the tv speakers when playing my xbox. Theres just no audio in! But i may be able to use an optical splitter. (hopefully) '


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,369 ✭✭✭madmoe


    I have a Wii so the front two speakers in the TV will do me.

    It has no DivX which is a bummer but it does have a VGA connector so I can connect my netbook and watch movies that way.

    Surprising, 20 in Mahon Point when I rang about 11am.

    Got mine about 12.30pm, must have been a close shave!

    Hi
    I have the DAV-DZ260 for a while now, just a quick note to say, that the scart on the back is two way for audio, so with a scart to phono adaptor, you can input an audio source, such as a tv set-top-box.

    Seems to be on the power city website now for 549.00


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    This is the power city link. Do NOT buy this one,though. The model in this one is the 32L4000 rather than the V available at Currys. The 32" L is s**t. Only 15000:1 contrast ratio compared to the 32v4000's, 30000:1. There is no Bravia engine either which means SD will look horrendous. Very cheap looking also. Do NOT buy this tv. Tell them to give you the 32V4000 or else you're going to Currys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,173 ✭✭✭cableguy.ie


    Sorry bout that thought it was the same one.
    Bit Busy in work and not supposed to be on line


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 371 ✭✭eioneill


    Just seen this post now. If someone really wants this package. Ring around. They have/had limited stock in all Curry's stores. Limited to 1 package per customer. It was advertised in the Metro today. Savage deal in my opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,078 ✭✭✭tabatha


    where is the best/cheapest place to get the wall mount bracket for these?

    What are the chances of them doing that deal?

    Parents are looking for a tv like this at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    Hard to know really. They wont be getting any business otherwise so they'll have to offer something to anyone who runs that explanation by them

    i just saw the ad on the tele there,

    looks like they're going to be nationwide!

    jobs a good 'un

    i think i might get a friend of mine to get it for me in cork!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 990 ✭✭✭rosboy


    Just got mine in Curry's in Limerick. A big thanks to the OP. The guys in Curry's said they got 43 in yesterday. Now (or as of 10 min ago anyways), they had 5 left. And someone had just called in on the phone to check for stock levels, so make that 4 left probably.

    God bless the Bargain Alert forum!

    Edit: As the OP and Zonda999 said on the first page, the home cinema system included is a DAV-DZ260. Curry's have the RRP at €219, but it available on Pixmania for about €200 inc postage (http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/s_action/search/index.html)...either way a great deal!

    i bought the kdl32v4000 and the dav-dz260 today from currys for in my spare room to watch dvds & play on my wii

    couldnt believe it when there was no optical out on the back of the tele! is that the only way i can send audio into the sound system? using the red and white audio out sockets on the tv and into the scart on the rear of the surround sound box???

    will that detect the audio automatically? for example if i decided to plug my wii into the component sockets aswell (on the tv of course), i would get sound out of the surround sound system? would i need to select a certain mode or something?

    any help from anyone would be appreciated
    thanks in advance

    hey which currys where you in town or the one out by the parkway, might see if they have any left tomorrow and try convince the dad to buy one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37 market_garden


    Just got the TV in Carrickmines. They had run out of Home Cinema Systems so they will call me when it's back in stock in about 2 weeks time.
    I can collect it then. Not too bad.

    Isn't it a Dixon's in town? I got mine in Parkway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,248 ✭✭✭Qwerty?


    Richersounds have the TV for 319 sterling (http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct.php?cda=showproduct&pid=SONY-KDL32V4000U)
    so about €372, and Pixmania have the sound system for €185, so if you miss this deal you can pick it up at a similar price, well about €50 more including delivery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Zonda999


    TYHat RS price for the tv alone is an amazing price IMO. I dont think the lads are able to ship it down to us at the moment, though. Supply issues, i assume. Thinkin of headin up to Belfast to get a tv off them next month...

    no it changed to currys there about two months ago, hopefully not many people realise that so might pop in to town tomorrow(eventhough currys and dixons were the same company and had mostly similar deals, but fingers crossed people don't know that either) a lot of hoping in that sentence and still gotta convince the dad haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2 Osuileabhain


    Bought two from Currys Liffey Valley to celebrate the Eurozone recession announced earlier today - worst Irish sales quarter since 1983 apparently - wasnt apparent at Currys

    -anyways were all hooked up at home. Watching 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' with the new home theatre surround system - class - hope loads of you availed of the offer -what a deal -

    thanks for the heads up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭jahalpin


    They have the same deal in the Sony Centres. I was in Swords today and they had some in stock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,748 ✭✭✭Do-more


    If anyone is still looking for this, I was in Harvey Norman in Mullingar about 2 hours ago and asked if they could match the Currys deal, they said yes but didn't have the DVD/surround sound in stock only the telly.

    The guy checked the stock in other stores. From what I remember there was just 1 free stock in Swords, more in Dundalk , Limerick and Tralee had about 7 or 8 each.

    I wasn't looking to buy this myself but if I was I would have asked the guy to give me the Telly now and put the DVD/surround sound on back order, not sure if he would have agreed but might be worth a shot!
