Guys, after i'm find a new tv and then i want to find HTIB. My budget below RM1000 and looking type speaker floor stand because lazy want to wiring. I'm living in flat DBKL only.

well... im using philips hts3373... refer to my previous thread...
so far the htib is ok... regarding the performance, u get wat u pay for...

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1417733&hl=

Floor Stand speakers also need wiring wat...

Maybe i'm should say no need buy speaker stand....

put on tv cabinet la..no need stand also wat

pasang sound 'kuat2', x ganggu da neighbour ke? up n down floor...

Not only up n down. All 10-30 meter radius will be infected

Speaker stand can buy from IKEA. Very easy to install just 4 screw.

IKEA overprice a bit i think...

Yeah at RM40 a pop if not mistaken for two piece of steel. Any other place to buy speaker stand?

Guys, i'm keen to get 2.1 only due spacing inside my house....

Anybody know which one can get below RM1k? Interested to get Pioneer but price i know more than RM1k...

Got offer from Panashop for model SC-PT85 RM850...good bargain?

hmm
u can try pm tis guy n ask bout it
kuchingtiger
i brought my pioneer avr from him
service quite good n prompt

Rm1.4K

If u just want 2.1, why not just buy Altec Lansing or Sonic Gear speaker. More cheaper.
IMO, just get 5.1 before you regret later. You cannot get fully Dolby or DTS experience with 2.1 speaker.

TQ bro

Out of budget....

Yeah realize about that....just find type 2 floorstand, 2 satellite, 1 center and 1 woofer i think it's ok...

i got this one bundled with bravia KLV-32EX300 for RM1,999.00

http://www.sony.com.my/product/dav-tz210

Total output is 600RMS. Quite ok to me.

PHILIPS HTS3373 is the only choice

1.Price <1K
2.Four pillar speakers.

i bought Pana SC-PT580 with RM1180,

DVD Home Theatre System with Integrated Universal Dock for iPod/iPhone

Total Output Power 1000W RMS
Dynamic & Clear Sound - Advanced Bamboo Cone Speaker* & Kelton Subwoofer
* Bamboo cone material is used in the center speaker.
Integrated Universal Dock for iPod/iPhone
Easy Setup with On-Screen Display Navigation
Easy Connection with Only 1 HDMI Cable for TV Sound / ARC* (Audio Return Channel)
* ARC compatible TV is required



http://www.panasonic.com.my/web/pid/9294/Spec

please drop a piece of advice......
planning to get panasonic LVC 42u29k
at the same time, wanting to install home theater, most importanly, budget is the limiting factor. there's a catch, there is this option about viera-link where with a click of a button, u can control most of everything....is it worthwhile to get the same brand of HTIB or get others would be better?

Forget about the link.
Those expensives AVRs no need such link

For me.
1.Budget
2.Sounds/Specs

seems that space is your concern, why not Sony soundbar, less that RM 1000. you got 3 HDMi in. within your budget and most of all, space saving.

I heard many comments that Panny HTiB is not good, can't decode DTS from Toslink input. Maybe someone can confirm.

When you guys buy HTIB of course its due to the nice looks, all in one features and good pricing.....and one day, you are going to hook a media player up to it.
and suddenly...no sound!

Why?...Panasonic doesn't decode DTS signals through its optical in......DTS is available only if you are using the DVDdisc.

Panasonic HTiB is a no no

Dun believe?...read this..taken from SC-PT580 manual book.
Not only PT580...but I think for all Panny HTiB can't decode DTS using Optical/toslink in

Thanks azbro...lucky i'm didn't buy it yet....how about Philips?

Philips OK..I've got 1 unit also....but if I'm not mistaken only 1 high end Philips model offers both Coaxial and Optical in...low end model are just coaxial in or nothing.

But if buy Philips HT get the one with extended warranty, nice died at 2 years, because there was a leakage in Current in my house (work of termites). The Philips circuit design is sensitive to this. Price to repair is Rm250. No, i didn't repair it, took it as an excuse to upgrade to bigger and better things

Philips hts3373 have both coax & optical in. I think it's a good choice for budget below 1k

Yes ..i agree.

Seriously, I've listed to most of the HTiB around...most are just for bang - bang movies...if wanna play music, better get integrated amp instead of HTiB.
HTiB is like a noise maker ...serious

After second year using HTiB, you will demand to get AVR. Better save your budget and get AVR straight away.

i got AVR Pioneer VSX514 - http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers/pione...7-30998353.html with speaker http://reviews.cnet.com/surround-speaker-s...7-31531987.html but never user after first day i'm purchased it because it's very loud. Thinking to get compact because want to save space summore slow sound a bit.

Volume cannot be down?

Its like driving a Ferrari at 60Kmh..hehe

Ask the Ferrari user to downgrade to Kancil level

Driving Ferrari at 60KmH is for 'makan angin' not to speeding. So you have a choice either to makan angin or speeding.
If you have kancil, you cannot speeding la

OT, but on the contrary, do you notice that normally on the roads, Ferrari users normally drive like tortoise and it is the Kancils that speed?

I have bought HTS3373 but trying play avi files from usb thumb drive it's said codec not support. No display but got sound.

get an entry level media player if u want to play avi files from usb. can get as low as rm100 these days but if you want more formats supported then increase your budget.

Guys, i'm just bought Pioneer HTZ-101 at RM800....it's good bargain? I'm cannot find this info at Pioneer website...

http://www.24hifi.com/products_view.asp?id=1535

is the Panasonic SC-PT580 and SC-PT980 good?

I agree but takes time to save for a decent receiver, five speakers and a subwoofer. Because if everything get entry level, after two years also will upgrade one by one.

So for me, get a HTiB then wait until can afford middle range stuff.

I get HTiB because living in neighbour places....so cannot turn speaker loud...hehehehe..

true, true... Last year I bought a pretty decent Pioneer HTIB system (that comes with 2 subs) that cost about less than RM1800. Recently, I went out to buy an entry level AVR system (from Yamaha) for about 3k or so, the difference is quite apparent, especially so after the ears get used to the HTIB and I suddenly listen to audio coming out from an AVR system. I gotta admit that I bought it because I was moving to a new place.. if I wasn't I'd still be using the HTIB system.

The ultimate one is to save up for a nice spanking system (probably 2 pc) just for listening to music but that would cost almost 10k

not entirely true bro... even with an AVR with 5.1 (tallboys and stuff), you can listen without turning the speaker that loud... there's distinct clarity and SQ that can be enjoyed without maxing out the volume I also think that a good quality sub creates a rather accurate rumble compared to normal ones you get in a HTIB

For me (personally lah), good audio/sound quality can be appreciated without turning things into a rave party

As I posted...it can't do DTS using the optical-ins..so why buy it?
SOS: http://files.eurocomdc.co.il/Panasonic/hor.../PT980-580G.pdf
Page 8. Bottom right

I wonder why Panny keeps doing this..

Kinda weird that it can't do DTS via Optical eh... they screwed up somewhere.. that's for sure.

saving money for the licensing eh..

thanks for the info bro. Any recommend for other HTIB brand less than RM1,500?

If you're in Penang and interested, I'd sell you my Pioneer HTZ-777

sorry bro. i'm in KL

Hi all, is Samsung HTC455 a good bargain? Seng Heng selling at around RM 1100.

Pioneer HTZ-101DVD, RM880 with 3 years Warranty.

1 Yr Warranty - RM850, good deal?

Anyone currently using this model? Any issue?

Anyone knows if Sony's BDV-E370 can do it?
