Yea currently Sunway HN is out of stock. Last friday went it to test and was considering it was still on stock. Then 2-3 hours later when i went it back to purchase the last unit was purchased by someone. So i paid deposit and the unit will arrive hopefully next week.

Price is 1999 but i paid extra for 1+2 years extended warranty

Finally gotten my RT5 today from HN Sunway.

Manage to set it up without much issue. Wireless pairing of the speaker was very fast and problem free. Only issue is that the back speaker wire is quite short i had to use an extension cord.

My first impression is that i am quite pleased with the output of this speaker. I hook this up to both my PC and PS4 using HDMI.

For the PC i tried playing 1080p Movies with DTS using MPC and no issue having the 5.1 surround sound. @SSJBen do you have DTS, DD or DTS HD displayed on the soundbar display when you played any of this format? Mine just display HDMI 1 or HDMI 2. So i am not sure which audio format is it decoding. Volume so far i did set 100% on my pc and 25-28 on the soundbar and it is already loud enough.

Only downside i can find so far about this soundbar is

1. I am unable to use the internet to update the firmware. Not sure why but i tried 2-3 times but failed. Not sure if its sony server issue. Tried to manually download but the page on the website could not be found when i click on the link

2. Menu for the soundbar is abit slow. Not as smooth as i hope it should be.

3. Surround speaker is abit soft. Not sure how to properly set the level. As i did the auto calibration and then i increase it to 2.5 dbs for the left and 1.5dbs on the right surround.

Forgot to mention that RT5 is to replace my logitech z5500. Quite like the Music arena mode and Clear Audio +. No problem pairing it with BT with phone.

I did check with the "Display" button at it shows LPCM 5.1 so i assume it should be optimum since its lossless? Can't find anyway to output it to specifically DTS on MPC

Already update it using the firmware from Sony Asia website through thumbdrive.

On the sound adjustment i think i would need more time to slowly listen and adjust it.

I was hopping that they will at least be as good as the PS4 menu

Thanks btw

I think the best option for you is to connect ASTRO HDMI -> RT5 ( not sure if astro have any content with 5.1)
For MKV files just get a media player that able to decode dd/dts or bitstreaming. Media player HDMI -> RT5

Then RT5 HDMI to your TV. I think the more device you go through the more headache. Sometimes could be compatibility issue or limitation issue.
