After the 100khz setting my FM is working, and the bad news is the reception is really poor, I can only manage to get around 3 channels from it 

guys,

can i add 2 more speakers to my 375? any comments/advice on this?

thanks in advance

i forgot to mention that adding 2 more speakers to 5.1 speakers. it will not cause any issues or spoils to my 375?

ic. thanks bro 

ic. i guess i just stick to what i have right now. thanks for the info bro

noted bro. thanks

Actually it isn't about power, I was referring to.

For e.g one movie had both DTS-MA (English) and  plain Dolby Digital 5.1 (not even True-HD) . When I noticed the DTS-MA tracking lacking details and punch , I switched to the DD track, and was surprised everything sounded much much clearer, even the subwoofer was delivering better punch all round.

And it's like this with a lot of DTS-MA movies on this Yamaha 475. I really suspect only the core 5.1 is being used, with the extra 2 channels not being downmixed.

A2040 is RM4650 n A3040 is RM5500 so the different is nearly 1k

For those who owns A2040, do you feel a mild electronic shock whenever you touch any metal parts when the AVR is on?

AFAIK,

AVR's cannot be cracked - I mean - illegally 'mod' - those  'software-mod' - tat are manufacturer sanctioned must be done by agent too and usually for  a fee..

LOL, wats so great abt Atmos anyway? Bragging rites??


D

if not mistaken, the emulated atmos from true-hd is called "dolby surround"

I agree that it might change much unless you have sensitive ears to hear the difference

Most (if not all) of the current audio mixes for DVD or bluray is based on either Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS (for Digital Theater Sound) lossy (or compressed mixed), and for bluray mostly DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD

Unless all of your movie is encoded in PCM 5.1 or LPCM 5.1, you are using the surround audio setup, and THX is not an audio standard.

those downloaded mkv or whatsoever format still comes with AC3 5.1 (Dolby Digital 5.1)
no streaming or downloaded material will use PCM/LPCM as it take up huge bandwidth, so you will still be using a very standard surround mixes by either Dolby/DTS 

also, for someone mentioning Dolby Atmos / DTS:X / AURO 3D as additional discrete audio channel, that is incorrect, as the new format is mixed using an object based mix and the sound output will depend on how many speakers you installed in your system and not like if you don't have rear speakers then the rear sound will go missing

Try go to those showroom with Atmos setup and listen by yourself then only decide if you can here the different. 

5007? Marantz?

If it is Marantz SR-5007, connect the rear speaker output and place the spk in ceiling firing down does not make atmos run as it need a newer AVR which can decode the extra layer of atmos info that being added to the primary Dolby TrueHD layer

If you just use the rear spk out to firing down from ceiling, you are merely let the audio of the rear surround to sound from the ceiling, which will be weirdly sound 

Ya today going to look for the movie at pg queenbay, hopefully can get one, but pg hardly can find.

Hei rich dud what is this

Blu ray can easily get it but with atmos format not many in the market n yesterday went over to speedy n artist outlet they dont have, so its not a matter you got money can buy anything u want.

i got this feeling too,maybe extended version/director cut release bluray comes with atmos
