Morning All,
Just gone and bought myself a new 44" TV so need to re-jig the tv cabinet a bit. I currently have the centre sreaker of the surround sitting on to of the old tv, but the new on is flat screen so it wont fit on top like before. However wit will fit inside the cabinet (it's an open front thing) on top of the DVD player. Will the magnetic interference from the speaker cause any problems with this?
Cheers
Mike

Most half decent centre speakers are magnetically shielded. I've had various video\stb\dvd\centre speaker combinations in the past and haven't had a problem.
Cheers!
If it's a pukka centre speaker it will be magnetically shielded, as it's designed to be situated close to the screen.
Flat screens are in general not affected at all by magnetics. (talking of plasma/LCD, not just "flatter squarer tube CRTS") You'd need to get several tens of thousands of times the stray field from a speaker to stop them working.
As others have said, it should be shielded anyway. I assume you mean that it's going on a shelf above the DVD player though? Otherwise the weight/lack of airflow would become far more important ;)

None whatsoever. Not only are speakers intended for TV use magnetically shielded, but a DVD player is not susceptible to magnetic fields.
By far the item most likely to be affected by magnetic fields is a CRT tube of a conventional television, and it didn't interfere with that, did it?
Christian.
Obviously not from a speaker anyway.
But it would be affected if the field strength was high enough. Hard to see how that could ever occur in a domestic setting though :) :)

AIUI a DVD player has no magnetic components, its all optical/electronic, so fields can't affect it. Apart that is from the
10 cent ramshackle arrangement of tiny motor and pulley that drives the disc round and the mechanical servo for the laser. But they won't be at all sensitive.luggsie
