R501 you cannot buta buta blast full 1, sure got cracking sounds
Have to adjust properly for best setup

To me the r501 fits well for its price-to-performance ratio
Its performance even surpass some other brands in this price range, the clarity and woofer power is good, can say blend in quite well but it would be better if it has tweeters in it (my model and the R501T)

But the MKII seems to fit everything nicely already in the box, but the weakness is still there so...we can't expect much for a 5.1 hifi system at the 300-400 range

The pricing at lowyat is different depends on which dealer u deal with
The best is you test it at the 4th floor first then you make your choice

Budget range for 5.1 best is R501 MKII (both clarity and power bass) and dun forget the smaller brother the R451 (superb clarity and weaker bass)

Any hjigher than that is S range liao

Ooo...ur settings is that ah
My settings is Master at 50% and Wave at 100%, then control the speakers, ideal will be 7-7-7-6 followup with volume at 4

Mine is not MKII version, its the 2nd generation R501 but chnaged its satelites with R451 so got tweeters, good for vocals and high frequency sounds

Oh you add environment settings huh, currently I using onboard Realtek AC97 audio, will get a Creative Audigy 2 ZS soon. Yeah I know that, I used a Soundblaster 5.1 DE before

I won't add any environments because everything will change, to me default is the best

Different ppl, different preferences

If bass and treble, need to use software
The speaker mostly is bass and the front channels+centre are treble, rear for surround

The purpose for F1 - look in the manual

I also no idea....because I never use the F1 button 1
Becasuse I control the souns myself

go to preference > plugins>output>directoutput
Then enable the hardware acceleration

Then restart ur mp3, there will be 5.1 already
Make sure ur soundcard has the 5.1 feature enabled

Go to your control panel under audio devices and check wether urs is in 5.1 surround speakers or not
Should enable that

What soundcard u using??

Aiyah...wasted lah the F1 button for the R501

Jack answered the F1 question for us already up there

Cya guys today at 1pm

Of course it is heavy, look at the woofer itself
Don't mention the S5.1 then....

Yeah the R501 old unit, 3rd day left 1 unit of stock left in the morning, so fast
Then slowly all the R501 MKII also gone
At last even the demo R501 also gone

Damn good wei.....

yeah it sure did but I changed mine to R451 satelites......

Sorry you can't.....buy all in 1 set

If they can sell seperately, everyone also want to change their satelites ler

Oh...rayck, wassup man
The 7-7-6-4 is actually my settings for my R501
Your S4.1 the volume control is knob base 1...so you have to change yourself for your best listening

No problemo

Nohting got to do with speakers....mostly software problem
