After a day of research, decided to go for Sony HT RT5 soundbar. Phone Sony today for this product, they advice me to check nearest Sony stores. Called both Timesquare and MidValley, both said they don't have this model in their store yet.....hmmm. Is this model too new?

Found Sony HT RT5 selling at rm2250.00 inclusive of GST, Sony selling at rm2399.00.

TBM

Tan Boon Ming appliances store. They don't have existing stock, need to back order from Sony.

Went to Midvalley Sony centre, they had Sony HT RT5 on displayed, asked for best price and was quoted RM2250.00 (GST Included) for new set but need to wait around 4 days as they don't have physical stock. Told me to get display set for RM2150.00, rather order new set since only RM100.00 difference.

You can always check here. One contributor "Thanley" had a lot of similarities as SSJBen, not sure if they are the same person.

Went to Pavilion Harvey Norman yesterday, kept negotiating the price for Sony HT-RT5 soundbar, told the salesperson I only will buy if he can give it to me at RM1888.00 plus I'm getting several other big appliances such as LED TV, Washing machine, Fridge etc.

He went to check with his manager then told me alright, RM1888.00. I was delighted then went to look at other stuff, next moment he walked over and said "Boss, sorry. HT-RT5 cannot sell you at that price because below cost, our cost is RM1900.00."

I was like...wtf. No mood anymore....LOL. Anyway I don't blame him as people make mistakes. Told him I will conclude a month later when my house reno is ready. I read Sunway Harvey is selling at RM1999.00, any other better offer out there?

Will go Desa Home Theather within these 2 weeks. Thanks!

Yes indeed, even Harvey Norman don't carry all models. Better call before I proceed.

Displayed price at RM25XX.....zzzzzzz. Why not you go straight to Sony Centre displayed price mostly is RM2199.00. I'm still deciding whether to get HT-RT5 or Pioneer 5.1 Home theater.

Ya, Sunway not much service, guess most of them busy. Just go Sony centre at Midvalley.

Went to Midvalley today, bought several big appliances and also included Sony HT-RT5, manage to get a good price at RM1999.00. Will only set it up in March when new home is ready.

Bro, I've just hooked up Sony HT-RT5, realized there's a low volume issue with this system, have you encounter it or you managed to solved the issue?

Maxed out the volume to 50, it's loud enough but I want more than that? HDMI ARC from TV to HT-RT5, HDMI 1 slot for my Bluray player,"Night mode off", lowered all volume to zero on all system before hooking up, don't seems to work. Any advice?
