QUOTE(Alan Yee @ Jun 3 2009, 07:56 PM) Sorry, no mp4, only AVCHD, MPEG2 and JPEG are supported. I know it can hook up to receiver/AV amp but the optical data is from what source? from the TV RTM channel? wow?Added on June 3, 2009, 8:03 pm That is a Digital Audio Output. Audio system that support optical input, such as surround sound receiver, can use this as an input. |

QUOTE(arremie @ Jun 3 2009, 08:47 PM) If you watch sports or music video or concert from astro or even normal tv channel....the sound from amp is better than listening to ur tv puny speaker. So hard to grasp the idea meh? can always use the RCA stereo cable to do it like it has been done for ages.. it's not like the terrestrial antenna source is so Hi fidelity to warrant using Digital connection..in any case if astro is so hi fi, I would route the Astro box signal directlt to the amp, not via the TV with astro RCA , convert it to Digital and then back to the amp.. |

QUOTE(irwan6179 @ Jun 3 2009, 10:41 PM) I don't have the TV.. But I believe the optical out can extract the sound from HDMI connection to your amp.. shouldn't the source like BD player's HDMI go to amp then HDMI it to TV? Either you watch tv or BD just set the amp to same input.. why BD to TV (HDMI) then to Amp (optical?) |

QUOTE(Mov_freak @ Jun 4 2009, 12:21 AM) Hmm... was wondering if the TV Upscale the sound to optical quality b4 sending to amp thru optical cable!!? dun think so.. if the astro sound is analog stereo RCA, then hooking up the astro direct to amp is better than going to TV via RCA, then digitize it and pass it back to the amp via optical..I just have to add, testing it out first is believing Panasonic can produce duds as well, believe me, I've seen them (the amplifier tv stand *groan*) Added on June 4, 2009, 12:49 am QUOTE(Mov_freak @ Jun 3 2009, 11:35 PM) true, but I prefer not at the cost of losing quality..This post has been edited by ar188: Jun 4 2009, 12:49 AM |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Jun 5 2009, 10:09 PM) Not all people have AV receiver that supports HDMI input. In fact AV that supports HDMI are only common in the last 2 years. So the optical input is pretty useful here. the TV has optical output.. not optical input.. thanks! This post has been edited by ar188: Jun 6 2009, 10:03 AM |

QUOTE(kianwee @ Jun 6 2009, 01:55 PM) Very much less, but the reflection is still there. But not that noticable. When I have my X10 previously. the glaring is almost unacceptable during daytime, I have to use blackout curtain for my 3 panel sliding door to totally prevent daytime light from coming in. I wonder how it compared to so called LED tv ? This post has been edited by ar188: Jun 6 2009, 01:59 PM |

QUOTE(emk @ Jul 4 2009, 04:32 PM) Tried and the dry cloth just made the oily print even worse. Only able to get rid them after using diluted glass cleaner. Finger crossed I didn't ruin the surface coating. hope nothing happens in the long run, like a permanent wipe streak.. |

QUOTE(arifjoe @ Jul 10 2009, 07:03 PM) I went to the Tan Boon Ming Old Klang Road yesterday evening and Mr Kong quoted me and suggested me these two items instead :- the price was cheaper for the S10 last month due to promo..Hitachi p42e102A - 2970 Panasonic Viera THp42c10k - 3050 LG pq30 42 inch plasma HD ready - 2720 And when i went thru all the posts in this forum most of them suggested that it's better to with panasonic viera thpc42s10k since the price is not much different. I called mr kong again and he quoted me 3699 without any freebies .What do u think ? Where did u get ur s10k if u don't mind to share ? Thanks. not sure what is the best price now.. maybe you can PM htkaki.. |
