not many shops in LY have demo units on cs21 and mx5021
correct me if i'm wrong, though...

then u go to the shop that have ...

i would need an extra connector if i'm to link mx5021 to my tv, right? anyone did it before? would the sound quality be the same if it's linked to the tv? hmm. thanks!

Your TV out is RCA or just 3.5mm ministereo jack? if it is RCA, then you can buy RCA to 3.5mm stereo cable, it cheap only...sound quality depends on ur TV out, if it is bad, then MX5021 will produce same bad sound and vise-versa...

RCA, it got the red, white, and yellow thing
what do you call that? tv outputs? or rca outputs?
meaning, if i hook it up to my dvd player, then how will it be?
the quality would be as according to the dvd format?

rca is the red and white, yellow is the video. the sound quality that coolkwc mentioned is the tv u used, if ur connecting tv output to ur speakers...basicly its for watching normal tv channels. if ur watching dvd and so on, better off connect it to ur dvd player. quality comes from various part, dvd, the player, amp and so on. not only the dvd itself.

Actually u no need extra cable to do that, i just remember that MX5021 provide the RCA to 3.5mm stereo converter, just hook up the RCA cable and the 3.5mm stereo line of ur MX5021 to the converter....

excellent explanations!
thanks a lot, guys
heading out to get this beauty tomorrow


the rca, red and white, what it does, actually?
what's the red? and what's the white?

white is left channel and 'r'ed is 'r'ight channel.

My old ACS54 is near dead. The volume is extremely soft even I turn the knob to max. But once in a while it will "awake" for 1-2 seconds then back to low volume again. Tried with headphone it's alright so should not be sound card problem. Any expert here know is there a cheap cure for this or I should start to save money for a new 1 already? Thanks in advance for advice

Probably ur volume knob got problem...I will open and test it myself if i am u....

Opened up and see nothing wrong with the volume knob board.. Even open up the sub-woofer but found no loose connection or trace of burnt components. Suspecting the main cable (thick cable connected to right front satellite) causing the problem but no multimeter to prove it. Any suggestion/idea?

Then bought multimeter lo, cheap only ma...

If that's the case is there any shop can fix it? That is not a normal audio cable but a cable with special 8-pin connector..
Sorry for keep posting noob question...

yeah, very
it works perfectly playing DVDs on my PC, well, at least, to my likings la
as for music, if the bitrate is pretty low, then the sound quality would be really bad
no complain on the treble, though, at least not that i can found, now
have yet to try it out on my home tv and the dvd player
honestly speaking, this pair of speakers are really good, very satisfy with it
and it really shake up my room, even when it's on to the 4th led
thanks for all the suggestions and tips, ya!

Honestly as MX5021 user too, the movie is sound good without any adjustment...but i strongly advise do some EQ tweaking when listen to song, the performance of tweeter just shadowed by the midrange and bass...but depends on ur taste, if u feel good in default,then is OK.

give me some advice la
i play mp3 with winamp
cannot use the preset settings at all
have to adjust by myself until it sounds okay
haha, how about you guys?

my equalizer setting all stock..even sound card driver also didnt install..

u mean the etc player of ur soundcard rite?
how u gona use the soundcard with driver not installed
