Mr DeLarafi,
I assume its the speaker stand u talkin about. The pic was previously posted on this thread
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=165661
The stand i dont think can get anywhere else except the showroom

mayb u can ask pc world 2 order 4 u..they can get it from mr jack

back to the black n orange sockets that some people state.. i think..its err..donno whos fauly.. with other souncard.. other then soundblaster. the orange input goes to ornge output from soundcard
same goes with black output..goes to black input to the speaker..
but with audigy or soundblaster.. both are switch..where black goes to orange n vice versa..
then the wooffer n rear are set corectly..

just bought r501 mk2...woooo..really impressed with the sound laa... love it so much..aarghhh..too bad...only use on board soundcard only ...no money to buy audigy2zs...bought dvd burner edi..adoi..nvm...can wait next sem...will receive more money from ytm hehe

man...am i qualified to be an edifier r501 fan?

When U Love it.. u qualified.. hehehe..

What is the diffrent between R501 and R501mkii.
Anyone use this speaker for home theater (i.e connect to TV/dvd) how is the performance like? is it neccessary to connect it with Power Amp?

Commend pls

the main difference is the R501 MKII has tweeter on all the satellites.

u don't need a separate amp to use it. the amp is built into the subwoofer.

and yes, some do use it for home-theatre. u can come to the Edifier Showroom 4th Floor, Low Yat Plaza to test on our dvd player and tv and nice sofa. just like a home theatre.

if the dvd player only have either RCA red and white cable or digital output for audio, then which connectors on the R501MKII should I plug in to deliver 5.1 surround sound effect/enviroment with centre speaker also fully working?

thanks

Haha this might be late, but me registering as a old skoll R501 user! Probably i'm the one here to own the oldest R501. Its the first gen model, and i got it back at 2001.



Best value for money 5.1 system back then, and the only contender was the z540 . Well, it still is now right .

Your DVD player needs to have 6 RCA ports at the back in order for you to use the R501 directly on it to fully utilize the surround sound.
The 6 RCA connectors should be as follows:
- 1xRed + 1xWhite = Front Speaker Output
- 1xRed + 1xWhite = Rear Speaker Output
- 1xRed + 1xWhite = Centre/Subwoofer Speaker Output

firstly i'm proud to own an edifier mkII, recently i have change dvd player due to old 1 quite sensitive, secondly when connected to my new jvc dvd player, i have two extra cable which unconnected, well, play anything no problem but without on the speakers no sound even from tv? scrathing head

That's because your speakers are doing the sound output now.
In order for your TV to have sound, the audio output cable from your dvd player has to go into the TV.

new version of r501mkII?
