after yamaha auto calibration, set crossover to 80Hz or 100Hz. speaker size set to small. make sure no double bass...means bass redirected to subwoofer. LFE channel itself should get the maximum 120Hz limit.

if u like more bass...can increase the subwoofer level a little hot. same goes to center speaker level.

After auto calibration..

FL 0
FL +2
Center -4.5
SR +1.0
SL +0.5
X-over LFE 80hz


Front, Center - speaker size- Big

not satisfy with the result... will adjust manually later..

Actually all of those gain trims looks pretty ok except for the centre. You have the centre very near your listening position?

Set your front and centre back to small though.

A new Yamaha AVR model is coming out soon. Rx-v675 and Rx-v475. --> http://bmc.brandsmartusa.com/ProductData/P...es/20159916.pdf

The PDF file show the appearance is same. The back layout different abit.

Hi, I'm thinking of getting this home theater package from a&l audio: http://www.alaudio.my/index/product-range/value-package.html.

Basically it's the Yamaha RX-V373 and PSB Alpha HT1 5.1 speakers for $3190. But with cables it could be an extra $400.

Is it a good beginner system or can I get a better system since I'm spending around $3500.

I think that is probably a medium setup with low end AVR.If can try to get RX-V473 with more feature than RX-V373 because you already spent more than 3k for your setup

Thanks for replying. Will consider the RX-V473, but what extra feature should I be looking for? And are the speakers good enough? My room is not very big, maybe 8' x 12'.

Thanks again for your help.

RX-473 can have internet connection via LAN.Also support Airplay.Slot behind also can support banana plug in all the slot while RX-v373 have only for the front speaker.The AVR is probably much better a bit with RX-v373.The price is also not much difference

You can consider 473 - 1.3 k
Jamo 606 - 1.6k
Yamaha 315 - 1k
Total 3.9 k

Cheers.

Where to get jamo?

You can get from hn, desa home theatre

RX-v373 is capable to process real 5.1 surround if your bluray file is compatible with Dolby digital /DTS /PCM multichannel

also u need to install 5.1 speaker la <-- obviously

Planning to buy a home theater system, my house is going to start renovation this week. Has aimed for 473 setup with yamaha speakers budget around 3.5K-3.8K. The sales person in HN advised me to get the speaker cables installed first and he has the source to for RM7.00 per meter, how do you think? What speaker cable are you guys using and where to buy it? Hope to get advise from sifu-sifu here. Cheers.

You can go to jalan pasar. There is wide range of speaker cable and cheaper.

I did planned to go jalan pasar and i told the sales rep about this. He commented that all the cables in jalan pasar are from China and is lower quality. Therefore I hope to get the sharing of experience from you guys (pioneer of Yamaha Home Theater System) if it is ok to get from jalan pasar.

Thank you very much

I use bose original speaker from their HTiB.Around rm80 I bought for around 30 meter I think.If you want I can try ask my friend
