I don't remember the shop I visited in One Utama because I was just passing through, and all items there were very expensive as compared to my regular shops. But for AVR1909 I re-checked at Desa HT Low Yat, it was priced at RM3,500 too, same price for Marantz of its similar spec.

If you often visit Hifi shops you will find price changes every time you see them, especially Denon, sometime it drops too much after one year.

must be hifi shop in 1u

Mediaplex in KLCC was too expensive too for Denon & Marantz, but they are now no longer operating business there anymore

Hi, guys.
I just bought Jamo S606 HCS3 speaker and it sound great.

Need a bit help here.
Why there is no sound output when i select DVD 5.1 DTS option?
Is it bcoz i'm using the RCA cable for connecting sound from DVD to AV receiver?
Need to use coaxial cable or what's the problem?

yup..need coaxial or optical for 5.1 output..

Maskedchan, any different in sound quality for playing with DTS or normal RCA analog sound?
DTS better?

when you select pure digital dts audio, you need a digital coaxial cable or optical cable or HDMI cable to output the compressed bitstream audio from DVD to AVR, and let the AVR to decode and process the DTS audio.

it depends on the player. generally you'll hear better sound quality with pure digital output.

Hi sifus,
I can feel that something is missing with my current Jamo S606 5 speaker setup during watching movies.
Is kind of lacking of bass (Umph......) as i havent buy a subwoofer yet.
Actually the front speaker have a pair of 8" passive woofer but i think not enough power.
Now searching for a subwoofer. Thinking of getting a Jamo sub 300.
Any comments on this subwoofer? or any recommendation which cost < 2k which is balance for music & movies?

Balance sub is hard to come by at that price range. Most of the sub at this range are ported, which leans toward movie. So, it is kind of boomy w/o good pace. A safer bet is to get a sealed sub like Epos ELS, Wharfy SW250, or REL. Then again, it exceeds your budget. Or try to look for 2nd unit. That should be below RM2K.

OIC......
So, if i connect coaxial or optical then do i need to take out RCA analog connection?
Can both coaxial or RCA can remain connected? or either 1 is permitted only?

And can i use the astro cable to make DIY the coaxial cable?

Depends on your source...but I can say 99% of the time, I'm sure there is a setting in the menu to choose between Digital and Analog.

Actually for the cables, funny thing is Coaxial is more susceptible to interference from other cables, thats why coaxial cables are mostly shielded.
You can actually DIY one thats using a single shielding RG6 cable at less that RM20...but you need to have a soldering iron.
Astro cable is RG59.....but actually, RG6 is the standard...but because Malaysian like to low cost..thats why RG59 is more popular.
To read more abt RG6 Vs RG59 just google it. Price difference is not much.

Anyway, if you dun want to go through all that mess, then just use a RCA cable and route the cables avoiding other cables to minimize interference.
Best is the Yellow connector instead of Red or white.

Any place I can trade in my old AVR?
Currently own a Yamaha RX-V420 with full set home theater speakers.
Looking forward to upgrade.

Yes, i know we can choose if the source got DD & DTS.

So, is correct la that both RCA & coaxial cable can be connect at the same thing la.

U mean i can use the yellow RCA cable to plug in the coaxial output of DVD to receiver input?
If yes, i'll try it out after get back from work.

When playing MP3, what source will it be? tru RCA analog only, right?

Yup, both can connect to the Amp.

When i mean yellow RCA cable doesn't mean the cheap RM2 type..at least in the price of RM30 above....why yellow is because it is suppose to be better insulated and so call 75ohm. Normally, when you see that the yellow is has a slightly bigger wires.

Use the yellow one as a Coaxial cable.
But you can always DIY a proper one at less the price...provided you have access to a soldering Iron.

If you insist of paying nothing and use any RCA cable laying around make sure it is the shortest length and route the cables away from others.

Try with the normal RCA cable to test the Dolby digital.
Eventhough is normal RCA connection, the sound improved a lot compare to normal analog sound.
Except from getting louder output, the dialogue is getting clearer, more details sound is head and bass output also improve.
Next will going to DIY the coaxial cable.

Where can i get the RCA connector nearby subang, puchong or kota kemuning area?
