I personally like to simplify to as little cables as possible to reduce possibility of handshake problems. Just gotta make sure cable is properly up to spec, so if you're passing through 4k60 then make sure the cable is capable of HDMI 2.0 bandwidth (18gbps).
2 towers and 1 center + 1 sub = 3.1.
If I connect BD player to Amplifier and then to TV, do both HDMI cables need to be 2.0 bandwidth (18GBPS)?
Hey guyz...what’s the best way to set up a Blu-Ray player. There are 2 HDMI ...one for video and one for Audio. Should I connect the video direct to the TV and the audio separately? Or is the 1 HDMI setup sufficient, via the receiver, and then to the TV?
I only have a 3.1 or is it 5.1 setup. Two stand speakers, centre speaker and subwoofer. Will do the Dolby Atmos later when I upgrade the receiver.
Thx

very interesting question. I will see the model of player n how the board circuit was designed
if there's proper separation in the circuit design to isolate video and audio processing and sometime you do listen to music only without video out then u can consider 2 output if they just separate out the video n audio for user convince then dont waste your time.. just connect a single cable will do..
Just saying... why are 4K Blu-ray players so expensive in Malaysia? The SONY UHD UBP-X700 costs RM1399 on Lazada, yet I picked up an unused, open box meaning returned but completely new unit from eBay USA for US$110 (RM 460) plus delivery RM105. No taxes as under RM500.
And on top on this, SONY Blu-ray players are all Made in MALAYSIA. So if the player needs repair, it can be done easily here.

Isn't US player have different power compare to Malaysia ?
Decided to spend RM470 on a pair of Mission MV-DS bookshelf speakers (as surround) to complement my old Mission Volare V63 stand and V6C centre speakers.
Would the former complement the other? Will eventually add an ONKYO TR-N696 7.1 Receiver but for now, I’d be happy to just have 5.1 properly.
Can someone recommend a reasonably priced stand for said speakers? Dealer was trying to sell me stands which cost almost twice the price of the speakers!

don't get cheated by speaker stands. it's just a stand, some dealer or audiophiles will go and tell you how great a stand is but it's all bullshit. a stand is just a stand. as long as you can position the speaker it works just fine.

i bought this kind of metal stand (1 pair) for approx RM300-400 many years ago. dunno the current market price. very heavy. provision for adding more weight if you think it's not stable enough.

Stands do matter - to a certain extent.
Hollow stands will actually cause artificial reverberation, that could then be amplified by nearby boundary. Weak stands may also not be able to handle the weight of a speaker.
Of course, don't be an idiot and buy for some plutonium-infused blast proof glass stand or something.

Above bookshelf speaker lighter than 5 kg I think. So any old stand will do. Lazada has some for around RM200 but are sure ugly. https://s.lazada.com.my/s.dkG9G
I saw nice ones (metal) from USA but the weight is 5kg. The postage will be too much so might as well try to get here.

lol. typical reply from so-called audiophiles. speaker stands are mostly for bookshelf speakers and generally bookshelf speaker ain't that heavy most important is the speaker selection, that's where the sound comes from. not the stand.

Lol. Damn you're either stupid or a bigot, or both.
Sound of course doesn't come from the stand. Sound is REFLECTED from the stand off the speakers. Every object in the room is part of the sound, including the listener. Ever thought about that? No, because you don't even know how sound travels and interact.

Guys...
I'm torn between getting the Rosewood speaker stands for around RM200 or the IKEA bookshelves which can function as stands. Note that these are for surround sound only. The IKEA option works out cheaper and I get to use them as bookshelves too! But they're WHITE! Total colour clash!

The important thing about surround speaker placement is the height and the angle of them. How tall are those IKEA shelves? Ideally you'd want surround channels to be 2-3ft above your ear while seated. If you're doing Atmos/DTSX, then the surround speakers should be between ear level and up to 1ft above at most.
My opinion get those rosewood looking stands and get them higher than 80cm.

The IKEA shelves are 80cm high. Same as the stands.
The highest stands I can get are 90cm and they're around RM200. I already bought the shelves..which I need anyway.
The new Onkyo TX-RZ50 is the first AV receiver that could do 4K 120Hz HDR VRR with the Xbox Series X, the Sony PS5 & NVidia's RTX 30 Series graphics cards
Beginning to find that Onkyo too pricey in Malaysia vs the US.
