hey yo bro, ive ord told u that its a mono1...
yup its only 1 black ring..

i'll go LYP 2mr, check it 4u...

bro, i've check 2day, i found 1 in SenQ, 4th floor LYP...
just rm2 only...

welcome bro, glad that i can help...

u can't just use the RCA cable..
this is the real coax cable..

the coax cable only carries a stereo sound, if u want to listen in 5.1, pls set ur Z5500 to DD PL II Movie o Music....

have u try it b4??

via mini plugs u will get a decoded 5.1 sound from ur sound card
yup i know this...

if using coaxial o optical, switch it to DD PLII Music/Movie means u will get a decoded 5.1 sound from ur Z5500 [control pod]

that's the function of DD PLII, decode the stereo to surround...

bro, DDPLII is not for DVD, it for other stereo source like mp3 o the other divx movie....

DVD is DTS n DD, n by the way, it hard to find a REAL DTS DVD, the DTS in "P" version dvd is not a "REAL" DTS....

haha..the sad thing here is i dun hv a PS2...

wow..u plan to get that??PS3 i mean..

yup, u're right..
Z5500 is way much much better than Z5400....

i think there's minor different between optical & coax digital input where human ears can recognize....

optical is better for a long distance transferation [correct me if im wrong] i.e. like a few metres n above..

for 1-1.5m cable, the quality is equal...

5400??if u got budget then go for 5500, sure no regrets...

i personally think it's not as blastable as 5500....
if u looking at the spec,

Z5500
. Total RMS power: 505 watts RMS
. Satellites: 317 watts RMS (4 x 62 W front + rear, 69 W center)
. Subwoofer: 188 watts RMS
. Total Peak power: 1010 watts
. Maximum SPL: >115 dB
. Frequency response: 33 Hz - 20 kHz
. Signal to noise ratio: >93.5 dB, typical 100
. Input impedance: 8,000 ohms


Z5400
. Total RMS power: 310 watts RMS
. Satellites: 194 watts RMS (2 x 38W front, 2 x 38W rear, 42W center)
. Subwoofer: 116 watts RMS
. Total peak power: 620 watts
. Maximum SPL: 103 dB
. Frequency response: 35 Hz - 20 kHz
. Signal to noise ratio: >95 dB, typical 99
. Input impedance: 9,500 ohms

y dun u connect ur dvd player with coax n leave the optical to ur console...

if u hv that $$, just go for Z5500...
u should personally try both b4 u make ur choice..

with the same langth [1-1.5m] of cable, i doubt that human ears can hear the minor different...

try ask around the owners of Z5500 or Z5400, which will they choose between Z5500 n 5400 if $ is not a concern...

i vote for z5500...
