QUOTE(tjwong @ Mar 10 2008, 01:36 PM) the hissing sounds appear once i power on the speaker. however it doesnt increase or decrease when i play music. i have tried it at the condition where i unpluged the cable from comp, unpower all the electrical stuff, aux in mp3 player. its still the same. Ur case is normal...hissing sounds appear once power on the speaker, this is due to poor signal to noise ratio....Wait, may i know how far the distance of the satellite from U? u won't hear it if ur satellite are 1m from u...

Change cable can't solve the problem.... Added on March 10, 2008, 2:02 pmQUOTE(Faint @ Mar 10 2008, 12:51 PM) Mine got hissing sound when set to maximum volume. Your's situation is ?

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Mar 12 2008, 08:34 PM) played the star wars episode 3 dvd on both my pc w/o sound card and on my tv + pensonic dvd player the quality from my dvd player was so much worse than expected, with slight cracking sound and a bit like zha zha zha sound, haha whereas for my pc, even without a sound card, it was really good can't really describe it in words, best if you try it yourself haha, maybe my dvd player and tv suck no idea la... hehe  i think u got something wrong in ur connection...although u using pensonic, it suppose not big different compare to PC...u directly connect ur speaker to DVD player or u connect to TV? or maybe ur player sound setting is wrong?

QUOTE(xk2 @ Mar 13 2008, 01:29 PM) but i think pensonic dvd dun have sound setting to adjust la,jus a simple dvd player right ? if u say u connect it to an amp then maybe is the sound setting problem lo,but since it is jus directly connect to the player,so maybe is the pensonic audio chip problem or the movie u use is cetak rompak ? then maybe got problem la  Added on March 13, 2008, 1:39 pmbtw,wanna ask here,actually mx5021 got how many version ? coz i see got 2 types of it(not the colour),they are different in the satelites driver,i read some one say tat one of them is cut down cost product,maybe someone here can explain a bit about tis  According to ur pic, the upper one is call "cut cost" product, but no evidence can prove it, just rumour....cut cost or not is not important for me, because i just satisfied by what the sound this speaker delivered..sound quality is most important for me...  Added on March 13, 2008, 9:15 pmQUOTE(domo_kun @ Mar 13 2008, 08:09 PM) haha, i did trust me, really no good also haha, never mind i'll just use it on my pc might be getting 2 new speakers for the tv some other time  although ur DVD is pirated, but the sound produced should be the same either PC playback or DVD player playback...so clearly is ur DVD player give u trouble...

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Mar 14 2008, 08:38 AM) wah wah, got such thing one ah then, how to determine whether the one i'm having is a cut cost product or not? haha, most likely la anyway, i happily pair it off with my pc again  The cut cost or not cut cost version actually use the same cap, SAMXON...only the "cut cost" redesign the amp circuit and satellite crossover which eliminate some component, maybe to "cut cost" or just simply "redesign", who knows? since no one compare these two version side by side...

QUOTE(blessedvillain @ Apr 8 2008, 08:43 PM) i think i've read somewhere that, the ACS45.1 button get worn out after some time. Your problem of not able to increase volume might due to the worn out button, and not the speaker problem. you dare to remove the rubbery layer and test the volume button underneath? i think he is not capable of doing this...  Added on April 8, 2008, 10:26 pmQUOTE(blessedvillain @ Apr 8 2008, 10:17 PM) @coolkwc hey, do u think there's still any chance that the older version of MX5021 still available? when did the cut cost version first appear in the market? i also don't know...i not see any "original" MX5021 in shop yet...you can see herebut still no people can tell us the sound quality different of this two version...only the weight of the older version is heavy than the so call "cut cost"...

QUOTE(domo_kun @ Apr 22 2008, 07:45 PM) image 1: the MX5021 uses that cable connecting the sub to my cpu is there any extension device that i can use? or is there any longer cables that are available? will the longer cables affect the quality of the sound? image 2: got myself 6 meters of these speaker/audio cables from ace hardware costs me less than rm8 for it saw one pack of 50 feet cables that costs rm80 printed on the package as studio quality, hm thank you! Hey, actually how far u want to separate your speaker from computer/your listening position? Any longer wire will definitely affect SQ especially the cable in your image 1.... Nevertheless, the cable u bought was better than MX stock crap cable... This post has been edited by coolkwc: Apr 22 2008, 08:22 PM
