QUOTE(sonerin @ Sep 2 2009, 02:15 PM) I am currently using option 1 as home theather with Plasma TV and Blu-Ray. I like it very much. bro, howmuch u buy ur full set of option 1? and where u get it? i've just ask a shop which is willing to offer me at RM2900nett after days of bargaining from RM3100.... Added on September 3, 2009, 8:27 pm QUOTE(Ngto @ Sep 3 2009, 03:18 AM) As a price reference, Option 1 can get at Harvey Norman Sunway Pyramid. thanks bro, i was thinking of buying 2 Monster M1000 HDMI cables for this HT set. Would have wasted one good HDMI cable if you didnt tell me the difference. Current Price RM3,499/-. Last time I asked, if you don't want extended warranty you can get it cheaper , maybe RM3,299/-. (You still get 1 yr warranty). This you have to ask and confirm yourself. Above is just for reference. Try other places for better prices (if they have the set yet) because it's very new. Added on September 3, 2009, 3:22 am The main diff between 818 and 819 is the 818 is obselete model which can't even accept HD audio over the HDMI (not even decoded LPCM). The HDMI is for show only to allow passthrough, not to playback the HD sound. The 819 is the new model where it accept both LPCM and also has the DD TrueHD and DTS-MA decoders for bitstreamed HD audio .  If i buy 819, i can use the first HDMI cable from bluray to tis 819 and another HDMI cable from this 819 to LCD rite? Like this i will get the best picture quality and best sound quality rite?

You can get this HT set from most of the big electrical shop...but for this option 1, i've try to bargain a few days then they only willing to sell at RM2900 (with 2 pioneer HDMI cables and two speaker stand).How much would the option 1 cost?

QUOTE(Ngto @ Sep 3 2009, 09:04 PM) You can infact input 3 HDMI devices to this AVR and then output to TV. Actually just get a decent quality hdmi cable (good enough for HDMI Ver 1.3) will do. No need for those fancy stuff. The output quality will be the same. I'm getting this deal in penang island. u wanna buy too? if buy togather maybe can get cheaper leh. For my info can you pls let me know where you are getting at RM2,900/-? Do be careful, they are also selling the VSX-519 model with the same speaker set , so check carefully they didn't quote you for the wrong set. For your info, the 519 don't have the HD audio decoders. But it can input decoded LPCM from your Blu-ray player through HDMI. yup they are selling it with VSX-819, not VSX-519...so u think RM2900 (include 2 pioneer HDMI cable n 2 pioneer speaker stands) is a good deal? |

QUOTE(Ngto @ Sep 4 2009, 07:56 AM) Unfortunately I am not fr Penang. I think RM2,900/- is an extremely good deal (espc with the free HDMI cables and stands for the surrounds). The speaker system is the one made of wood right and not the black ugly ones? Yeah, the S-MS800 speaker set is wood one, not the todoroki ugly set Which electrical shop did you buy from, maybe they have a branch over here where I can check out. :Pi actually not yet buy just asking the price around first. The shop name is CSH which sell all panasonic things one (strange that they can sell pioneer to me) and my friend know the manager there so i guess that's y they can give me this RM2900 deal. I'm going to PISA today coz i heard there is fair there and my friend intro me another manager there and he might give me other good deal |
