hi guys, some updates here

mounted my rear surround speakers on the wall...

its pretty easy,

1. just get 4 screws (with rounded head and compatible size)
2. knock them on the wall (check your user manual for info)
3. hang the speakers

attached some pics here


Attached thumbnail(s)

finally got my b.yond set up and running through the hts...

all i can say is amazing...am happy my panny plasma is linking with the hts so i don't need to use the hts's remote to control anything....

highly recommend this system for those looking for simple, hdmi repeater based home theater set up...

Izit same with Model Sony HT-SF2300?

Sony HT-SF2300 that u see in www.sony.com.my website is 2-3 years ago model.
HT-SF470 is the latest one, just release last month.
The upgrades are:
- 3D Pass-Through
- Audio Return Channel
- Wireless S-AIR ready

design and firmware also better.

just compare http://www.sony.com.my/product/ht-sf2300 and http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores...#specifications

I see... what is:-

- 3D Pass-Through
- Audio Return Channel

ok william42... when will ur condo be ready?

linking.. is using BRAVIA SYNC and VIERA LINK.
it's actually HDMI-CEC, see this link => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#CEC

every brand just rename this thing... but certain function might be proprietary and can only be used when linking with same brand items...
eg: Sony BRAVIA + Sony PS3 Slim ... the new 2010 Sony BRAVIA LCD TV can now access the the menu of PS3 (TRIANGLE button) ... others i think can only access (O and X buttons) ...

3D Pass-Through = ability to allow Blu-ray Player with 3D movie to pass through Home Theatre System (HTS) to TV via HDMI cable

Audio Return Channel = allow TV to return audio sound back to HTS via HDMI cable (conventionally u need to use composite cable or optical cable to output TV audio back to HTS for sound... so with this ARC, u can use Sony BRAVIA's Theatre mode with just one HDMI cable from TV to HTS. so now this HDMI cable has audio traveling both ways -> HTS to TV and TV to HTS .. cool right?

Where can I get this model of HTiB?

at Sony Style got..

i am also selling HT-SF470
didnt meant to hijack this thread for sales... but just providing extra information for ppl who are here.
hehe

u can get it at Sony Style (KLCC, Curve) or other Sony Centers (1U, Ikano, SS2, etc)

Thanks for the info.

Bro, suppose to get the key last month but the developer screw up something..... hopefully this month can get the key and start the reno soon....

hi guys...just bought mine yesterday from klcc sony style. and they delivered today and fixed for me everything nicely.

but when i set up my ps3, i change the sound setting in ps3 to HDMI and choose auto but it detects only LPCM 2ch. this does not allow surround. weird.

but if i set to manual and select everything, then it works.

can anyone help me with which settings to choose in ps3?

when u choose AUTO, it suppose to detect all possible audios (which includes DD, DTS, LPCM 2.1, LPCM 5.1, LPCM 7.1, etc)

anyway, here's my settings on PS3 :

VIDEO SETTINGS :
-Audio Output Format (HDMI) - LPCM

AUDIO SETTINGS :
-HDMI > Auto

when u set this settings on PS3, make sure your HT-SF470 receiver is ON...

huh? need to configure under video settings as well????

Yes, under VIDEO SETTINGS...you will need to set BD/DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI) to LPCM

i see...maybe thats why i think...ill go home and try later...hope that works and solve it..

thanks for the info....really helpful

wah.. 2am still havent go home yet... u must be watching Spain vs Chile out there

Hi guys, I am about to purchase this set. Just wanna confirm the speaker wiring. The connectors on the back side of the speakers are just the normal 2 wire positive and negative right? I have concealed wires for the surround speakers all ready done up and it's the 2 wire type. Just wanna confirm that the speakers connectors are not any kind of proprietary type. Also, has anyone tried hooking up this system with PS3 and WDTV Live?? Confirmed it can decode DTS over HDMI for PS3??
