Proud owner of 500a and 428xg reporting in.
i've been in this forum for a while and recently only notice this thread..

anyway, just finished browsing through the home entertainment section and man, im very impressed with some of the elite's setup . Wish i cound also benefits from their knowledge and experience.

Like most of the others I guess, 428 in the master bed and 500A in the living,

My original plan was to convert one of the bedroom to an AV room but the space is too small, , so the mosnter is resting in the living room instead.

wahh...for audio have to downgrade below peasant level since all the money went to visual edy.

anfielddude,
thanks for the calibration setup, will definately try that later tonight.


May i ask where did u buy those sexy harmony remote? Actually i went over to C-Zone the other day and they're not going to bring in more units of em cause hard to sell..

Bought my 500A @ Toong Heng SS2 PJ...price is around RM11,xxx, and if I'm not mistaken, that is the last unit that they have..so I consider that I'm the luckiest person in the world...

errrr..actually i do have an HT setup in the master, but got L/C/R only
for living, haihhzzz, still got a long way to go, but i think i have something in mind...just dunno if my finance minister will approve...

wahh taukehh...now also im like "kais pagi, makan pagi setengah, petang lagi setengah", if get projector, then become "kais pagi, makan untuk 2-3 hari".

If I'm not mistaken, LX series is the premier product line of Pioneer, thus all the component is better.

But the price for LX72 avr is about RM7k++..

me tooooooooo

nice collection there norazwan...please share with us what's the content like..hehe

there's someone under your nose all this time..

by the way, its so frustating that I cant opened up my newly bought kuro wifey said that wait until we moved in to our new house than only can unpacked everything there. as of now, my 428xg also sitting behind the sofa as this house is too packed with stuff (my in-laws house ).

Anfieldude, I really am going to need your help on how to calibrate my kuro's once I moved in. Hopefully you can spare a time for a peasant like me . Meanwhile, I'll just keep on learning on calibration.

Are you looking at Pioneer in particular? its actually hard to recommend to someone without knowing what is their budget 1st.

I think for that kind of budget, its possible to get the entry level avr from Onkyo/Yamaha with HD Audio capable. and a pair of good speaker as well, if you know where to find em..

because I saw pioneer HT selling at 13++ last time at one of the electrical shop.. cant remember which model...

which version of ps3? i've read that the fat one could output lpcm and the slim one could bitstream. my friend has the slim one and that version confirm could bitstream hd audio to the avr.

sometimes good offer could be found in the garage sales, the music section. and you should also wait look in hifi4sale. sometimes once in a blue moon a good offer surface up. but don't hope too much.
also try to ask at hifi shops if there's used unit that people traded to upgrade.
okay boss, I'll start search around based on your recomendation.. btw my ps3 is slim one..
when electrical shop advertise PIONEER HT system only 1399 let say for example.. what do they give us? speakers only?

For a brand new, you cant get an avr with hd audio but if you're looking the other way, ie. used set, then it's possible. I agree with paskal that you have to get your legs moving by visiting those av shops. Pay attention to the internet forum as well ie lowyat forum or hifi4sale for any amazing deals.

nice,

but the blu-ray still doesn't supports hdmi 1.4 aka 3d...

Which model and how much?

if only anfield bro live in kl, will sure to get his service to calibrate my unit as well..but he doesnt..haihhzz

Glad to hear that, will pm u shortly

sadly, not all avr
