how's the price of pioneer VSX-519 compared to yamaha RX-V365?

u being sarcastic?

if u were then i got what u meant

HT for ur WDTV? later have to look for spk too..

ht for another bdp

got Bravia X in the picture?

hi,

just bought an ONKYO TX-SR506 for RM1k, is this price reasonable? worth if compare to TX-SR304?

next time, ask before you buy or don't ask at all. It's like asking for buyer's remorse

haha.....as i knew this price is just good enough to make u jealous

next time if u want to answer the question, just direct to the point or dont answer at all........

I'll be KL on 18 Dec for few days. I'll either stay at Grand Pacific Hotel or Dynasty Hotel. Jalan Ipoh / PWTC area. Any nearby Hifi shop?

overheating Onkyos? naah, not jealous at all.

I was direct to the point - don't ask after you buy.

well seriuslycold is right, u should have asked before you buy.

Buy since you already got it, just enjoy it.

These what I think is:

Pro:
1. You got 7.1 out.
2. HDMI 1.3 passthru...
3. 7.1 channel input.

Cons
1. This unit dont decode HD audio such as DTS Master Audio or Dolby ThrueHD.


The quality of the sound is subjective, maybe u like it, others dont or vise versa. So is neither pros or cons.

Suggestion:
To enjoy HD Audio, get a bluray player with 7.1 channel out and connect that to your 7.1 channel in. Your BD player also need to be capable in decoding DTS Master audio and dolby ThrueHD. Example : Panasonic BD80.

Next get your favorite BD and enjoy....

Actually Panasonic BD60 already got 7.1 channel and capable in decoding DTS Master audio and dolby TrueHD. The only different I know between BD60 and BD80 is BD80 support Dvix.

BD60 doesn't have the analog 7channel out. The BD80 has. he cant use the HDMI to send audio to his AVR.

Why can't he use BD60 to send HD audio via HDMI to the AVR? If BD60 can do the audio decoding it should be possible no?

Edit: I see the problem must be the HDMI pass through on the Onkyo 506. Only does video and not audio.

Thats what I could remember... I could be wrong. Better let him check the spec. I remember the HDMI only for video.

hi tracktion3,

thanks for ur suggestion !

actually i am new to the audio world, i am here just to share the price which i bought, so that other might have a price guideline.

of course i knew that seriuslycold wont be jealous of my entry level receiver, just to tease him....... , as he was not answering my question (i was asking whether worth or not, u should answer either YES or NO).

anyway, no offence, ok
