cool. go for it. uncle had one last time. very good sub. great impact. too bad has to sell coz uncle's heart can't take so much beating

remember to read the manual

Yea.. I kinda meant that but more of... if you're listening to MP3, what kind of quality is it at?
I noticed my mp3s also have different sound quality... something to do with the 'kb'?

Now back to topic.


1st.Did you set the Front, Center, surround speakers to "small' or "Large" on the AVR.
If you set the speakers to "Large' but using small speakers, there will be no bass coming out of the Subwoofer.
If you set to "Small" for Small speakers, the bass freq will be directed to the Subs giving you better bass.


2nd.I also did encounter loss of bass between sources. Only to find out that between sources, the settings is also different.
Depends on the AVR, you will need to set the settings again...if not they will be on default settings.
Example, if you have set the best setting for the DVD source, the same setting might not follow for TV,VCR or multiple input source.

I think i set my surrouns speaker to Large as i following the default setting lo.

Later back home will try to change the setting.
Thinking of selling YST-SW315.

= = only 1week plus = =

That could be the reason

Never set the Front, Center and surrounds to 'Large', unless you are using a very expensive and powderful AVR and massive floorstander speakers with 10~12 inch speakers built in!

Set all to "Small". By doing so, the low freq will be diverted to the Yammy Sub.
You will even get better sound from the surround speakers and also lessen the AVR load to play all those bass sound.

Try it out

And remember, If you use multiple sources....check between the sources that the setting remains the same.
Example media player and Bluray player Large/Small, Tone etc settings. On some AVR models, you need to set again.

Note: YST-SW315 should be adequate for most ppl except for those bass head sifus replying in here. Dun get poisoned by them You should be fortunate to own a Yammy Sub, other ppl like me only cap ayam Sub, before that, I was DIY Subs with old components and cheapo jalan pasar speakers..hehe

icic.. Only set the speaker to Small right ? then others just remain the same ?

I just know how to judge is the sound for Music is good or bad.

In term of Movie i still not good in it. Thats y i request for "solid" bass.

1 More question. If i use my Laptop to play music.
What sort of cable should i use ? izzit the banana head ?
(output from LAPTOP into my AVR input infront of the AMP)

or shall i use RCA cable to input my AMP and Buy a converter for RCA into banana head.

Set all the speakers to "Small"....Front, Center and Surround (back)

Laptop? well, most of the time you will get only stereo from a lappy...but can you be more specific what model / brand is your lappy. Wanna check the specs.

I guess if you want to use it for music only then its OK for stereo.

Thks azbro u been so helpful since the 1st time i came here.

The output for my Laptop is just normal hole. Yeap i think is Stereo.
Dell Studio 15 i guess.

Hey, a word of 'thanks' goes very far

If I'm not mistaken, the Dell Studio 15 comes with HDMI port and the means of getting a 5.1 audio out of there.

Your Yammy AVR also has HDMI inputs..

If you dun have a HDMI cable lying around, just go to Tesco and get the RM19.90 cable to test it out.

IC wow..nice nice. so HDMI cable that sell is everywhere is the same?

I mean is all standard ? can use for PC/LCD/TV/AVR....bla bla ?

Basically, you can categories HDMI cables to free, cheap, expensive. and then there is the standard 1.2, 1.3, 1.4..1.3 itself got a few variant...

But no need to confuse yourself...go to tesco and grab one

Here is how it looks like. Pictures from a member named PrincCaspian:



And remember this, I can't guarantee you it will work, depends on you Lappy and the software.
but at RM19.90, its worth trying it out..but if you connect it to AVR, you need another cable it from AVR to LCD....but I'm sure you can think of that. How is your system like now?...what components are you using?...example LCD, Bluray player, AVR, PS3 etc. You must make sure all are properly connected...if not another trip to tesco will you will be tired

And when you go to tesco, go alone, never bring your wife and kids cause the RM19.90 cable will cost Rm200 out of your wallet because of the rest of the junk food etc

lol azBRO u must have gone through this ! i'm still in a relationship status XDXD.

I just have my LAPTOP and 1 cakai DVD player with RCA cable only.

Have been working for 4months only. still not afford to high end product like bluray bro ~

Take small steps bro..and best is to ask question before buying anything...you wouldn't want your hard earned money go to waste for buying the wrong stuff.

yeap. May i know how long u have been playing AV system ?

Oh, everybody thought you're offering that price for CHT-10Q.

Just to clarify...

In a movie soundtrack bass info can be found in 2 places: (a) the normal speakers channel (front, center, surrounds) and (b) the LFE channel (for the sub).

Info in the LFE channel will always go to the sub. So even if you set the speakers to L the sub will still play the bass coming from the LFE channel.

Once you set the speakers to S (and if you can select the crossover freq) then that means the bass info from those speakers will be redirected to the sub. Meaning the sub will now play the bass from the LFE channel + bass from the other speakers. So for example if you set speakers to S and crossover to 80Hz, then any signal in the front speakers which is 80Hz and above will be played by the speaker, below that will be played by the sub (remember the sub will still play all the signals in the LFE channel).

wow.. what a deep explanation ! is time to learn how to play with the Hz / Om / dB..

if not really scare my speaker and AVR will busted !

Anyway thank you so much for the advise.

Much appreciate

Yeah...try it out tonite...I simply cannot believe your system lacks bass!

what abour crossover? 160hz ok?
