Ipoh which shop ? i want to check out !

Just wanna ask all the expert here:

How do i properly setup all the speakers and sub using MCACC? should be like the steps mention below?

1. Make sure all the cables are properly hook up (polarity maybe?)
2. Make sure your sub-woofer is set to the correct range ( umm can clarify what level of what i need to set on the sub-woofer?)
3. Make sure the mic is properly plugged in so that MCACC will start up
4. Make sure the room is sufficently quiet
5. Place the mic on your sitting position at ear level
6. Start MCACC to calibrate the speakers

Thats the step i get from reading all those guides though they didnt list them into steps. Iam noobie and this is my 1st HT set and setup

Current HT equipments

1. Samsung LA32B530 FHD TV
2. Pioneer VSX-919AH-K AVR
3. Onkyo SKF 330 5 Speaker Set
4. Infinity Servo Sub SSW-10
5. Laptop for XBMC and Bluray player

I will be moving into my new condo early/mid May and i wanna understand how to properly configure MCACC for my room so that i do not risk blowing anything up

Hi, previously i was looking to buy pioneer amp with preouts but there was no models with preouts that i can find in the market. Last week i read about this new model VSX1120-K, which suppose to have full preouts. Anyone have any idea when will this model be available in Malaysia? Also, if im using external amp, does the performance of an AVR, other than video upscaling, matters? Or i can just opt for the cheapest avr with preouts?

Hope someone can clarify. Thanks.

i just tried a multichannel amp with an avr with preout on my setup.
if you have the dough, do go the multichannel way. even if the avr already have enough power to drive the speakers, the amp does things with better clarity.

power and loudness doesn't change much (hinting that the avr have enough power to drive the speakers), but the detail and clarity improved quite a lot.
hopefully the vsx-1120 won't take too long to reach malaysia.

hi..newbie here htp rs50.

Hi, just entered the forums as I too am an avid Pioneer fan. Would like some advice on sub woofers as my HT is missing a good set!

Currently looking at the HTP-RS5 with the included S-RS3SW and additional speakers (bonus). I'm using a 606 as the amp so the pioneer 518 is planned for another system setup or maybe a preamp.

I did an audition for the RS3SW and it was great even in an open environment. Price given at Harvey Norman was RM1999 but got it down to RM1899 IF its a straight payment.

Would love some advice and feedback. Thanks.

why would you wanna waste that much just so that you could get the sub?
the rs3sw is good, but IMHO isn't that great compared to other sub-RM1k sub.

i'm using one and i do think you should try and audition other subs at around RM600-RM800. you might like others better

I've always been a Pioneer fan yet there are so few selections for subs. The only other sub I can take is the 20 cm sub set only, priced at RM1200 (roughly). I chose this because it gives the sub + xtra speakers and an amp for 2k. Can you suggest any subs for me to narrow my search? I aim for some deep bass if possible. Thanks.

IMO RS3SW petty good sub,plus it 12",im also own it.just go for it.

even i choose to buy rs7 because interested with the sub...

how much for this 1 ? and the other 1?

i believe you won't find some deep bass with the rs3sw. boomy bass maybe.. ha ha

not joking.

try and audit any 8" or 10" from other speaker manufacturer.
something from qacoustics, psb, velodyne, paradigm, wharfedale, b&w and etc etc and compare that to rs3sw.

i've heard some a lot a few 8" and 10" sub that will kick the srs3sw 12" a$$ flat out.
IMHO larger doesn't necessarily mean better.

not questioning your judgement, but have you audit other branded subs before buying the rs3sw?


but hey, maybe it's just me; and *maybe* my ears are broken somewhere.

True, bigger is not always better but its Pioneer! Had an old Pioneer amp at least 20 years old and it churned great audio till something fried and lost output to one side. Had always loved Pioneer for its bass and not too pitchy treble. I admit, it may not churn out low frequencies but I'm thinking with a 30 cm woofer, my house/room should be having an earthquaking experience!

Forgot to mention that I'm looking at it for mostly movie setups. I can take it for music as well but sometimes you have to use the headsets for better clarity (that's just me). My point is, I want an explosion and not a dull thud. I want to hear rolling detonations which doesn't sound like balls dropping on the floor.

Anyways, will check up on the other sub woofers available. If the woofer is around 1k I may consider just taking it.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Keep it (feedback/opinions) coming.

Too bad i was only a student that time , and my budget is rm1000 only. There is this one sub around rm500 which is klipsh or something. Man, that is half of my budget, where am i gonna get av receiver and five more speaker?

So when i saw pioneer rs7 HT package around that price, i go for it.
Compared to other HT package, it has vsx818 which can receive optical input unlike other ht package which only give you dvd player which is totally useless for pc-ht setup.
And then it has sr3sw, an active sub which other ht package offer passive sub only.
And yeah there is more, pioneer kindly make the front right and left speaker as a four-way speaker

Thanks a lot to Pioneer for giving a poor student a chance to own a home theater
