QUOTE(Boat Collector @ Nov 24 2009, 12:54 AM) Okie.. correction.. I probably need at least a 500w-1000w step down transformer, which should cost me between RM150-250. The US manual says 350w power consumption. BUT I get to save about RM1800 (its half the price in US). I got quoted RM3600 for the VSX1019 in KL. So minus the transformer I'm still up RM1500!! Yup, ironic isn't it? Made in Malaysia but we don't get any benefit from that but instead get charged so much more locally  I think.... Still think it is ironic that the US unit is made in Malaysia - but I have to go half way around the world to pay half price and go through the hassle of getting transformer.. Anyone one where the Pioneer factory is? maybe got unit fall off truck..    Dontcha just love the price arbitrage played by consumer brands... NOT! |

About 3 mths back Harvey Norman was selling the exact same set for RM3,299/- (1 yr Warranty ) and RM3,499/- (5 Yr extended warranty) . Now Kiran (refer above 2 post) managed to buy for RM3,199/-. That means the price has come down not gone up)  This post has been edited by Ngto: Dec 2 2009, 09:45 PM |

Your Laptop HDMI connection could be only meant for Video, not sure. Check your details about your Laptop specs. Or are you just using one of those DVI to HDMI converters?

kiran: what laptop modem you're using? coz i have colleague here saying the he only manage to output 2 sound off his dell xps...despite tweaking here and there....
maybe theres a setting in control panel for audio...also i think in order to have 5.1 the soundcard must have that capabilities to deliver the output aswell which not many lappy have that function... |

check the latest driver for your hdmi video and also the audio.
I am using Acer Revo with Win7. At first only stereo but after update the latest driver from Nvidia, I can listen to DTS |

(VGN-FW590FFDv), when I connect my laptop via HDMI to the receiver (VSH819H-K) the laptop could recognize the HDMI connection and the sound device changes to ATI HDMI audio (think it supports 2 channel) by itself in my laptop and there wont be any sound from the laptop speaker .So in the receiver I tried to setup the signal to HDMI the Small little HDMI blinks in the receiver's screen but no sound.

What is the best hard drive media player that is can buy which suits VSH819H-K via HDMI and should support 5.1 channels. |

Those HDMI Media players (like AC Ryan, WD TV Live etc) wont have any problems with normal 5.1 sound. Only HD audio have problem and currently being fixed.
You said HDMI indicator in AVR blinks, shouldn't it be constantly on instead of blinking. There is an option in the Pioneer that can set HDMI audio to passthrough (bypass the Amp) maybe you could check that it is not set to passthrough. Could ask Soulquarinz about that, he is using 819 and AC Ryan POHD. In the meantime , did you look for updated drivers at Sony Website? This post has been edited by Ngto: Dec 3 2009, 10:58 AM |
