    But amazon don't ship electricals to Ireland. Just checked that particular product out, and it's a no go.

    ...and haven't done so for 2 yrs or more. I only posted the price to show how much more we're being charged and for any of our readers in the North/UK, or anyone who can get it delivered to friends/family there. Free delivery I might add.

    For those with a BD (blu-ray) player I would suggest you consider to buy a proper hi dev sound (dolby True HD & DTS Master) AV receiver for a little more. The Sony DG820 at richer sounds is £229. But of course you will have to buy speakers.

    I got mine for christmas! €199 from PC World of all places. Very impressed so far, but need to pick up a HDMI cable tomorrow to get the full experience.


    How much did you pay for your HDMI cables? I wonder if Tesco will ever have those €2.50 cables ever again?

    FWIW - I have the DZ230 (back when it was €269 :( )and it's a stunning system, no drawbacks that I've discovered yet anyway. Solid buy if they've followed the trend with the 260.

    Whatever you do, use the mic to set it up/calibrate first run. Makes all the difference.

    never ever buy cables from Dixons, Currys.
    Their top rip-off item.

    I got the DZ260 there a few months ago and it really is an outstanding system for the price. I use it fot normal tv and console gaming(360 and ps3). It excels in all areas i've tested and my god, it completely transforms shooter games like gears of war 2. Turn it up loud and the gunshots sound amazing!! For 160e in Power city, and probably less up North, it really is a bargain.

    They have them in Tesco Castlebar, they are priced at €5 but they scan in at €2.50. Picked one up today, there was at least half a dozen left.

    What I did:

    Digibox & other satellite box > DVD recorder > TV (scart)

    DAV > TV (other scart)


    The scart on the DAV works as an input when it isn't outputting and the scart on my TV will output audio to the other scart in a similar fashion.

    I haven't set it up fully (to experience all 5.1 of it) but have tested this cabling combination.

    i bought the dz260 a month after xmas in power city for 160e! its a brilliant system the sound is so good ill never listen to music through anything else again! the woofer is so powerful it hits bass so low and loud you never knew it was in the song . i have a 32LG3000,with a 360 a ps2 my comp a blu ray and this system all plugged in. and the sony plays sound for all via one optical cable from the opt out on the tv to the opt in oat the back of the sony.the auto claibration mic it comes with is a good idea and works too.it balances the sound by playing a seris of beeps and what not so your always in thw sweet spot. the sony has a usb port at the front, i connect my phone in there and it reads the music like it was an mp3 player. also a cool feature is that it plays data cds.....you can burn 700meg of music as opposed to 80 mins on a disc (maybe 6 or 7 albums or 100-150 singles) and it reads them and shower the song name and that on the screen. you can also rip music from a cd to and mp3 or phone using the dz260 in one go. great great system reconmend getting it if you see it anywhere ! would have payed 350 E!!!
