May I know, any 1 here have an experience comparing bookshelf speaker with Htib tower speaker. My intention is, i want to buy AVR and bookshelf speaker and subwoofer for the starting. I wonder if bookshelf speaker can't match Htib tower speaker. I assume bookshelf is more powerful than Htib tower speaker. The price of 1 pair of bookshelf speaker already can buy a whole new Htib.

I just want to make sure when I buy everything, the system will sound better than than my Htib especially for the fron speaker. Room size is an issue also. I afraid if i buy tower speaker, it will overkill because room size only 10x12x10. My prelim plan is going for bookshelf.

Dear all sifus,

I have an issue here with my HTiB system. Somehow recently my rear surround sound have no audio when process an output from TV via toslink. However, if i switch it to FM tuner, the audio came back.

Actually before this, I connect toslink from a media player and now because i bought new sharp android tv, i had to change this because media player not 4k compatible. Two days ago, I can't remember what i did and the surround speaker working but today no audio again. For info, from TV i use Kodi and passthrough option. In tv audio setting, i choose Dolby output.

UPDATE.

After did a detail checking, I notice the issue came from TV itself. I hook back my old AC Ryan media player and play the surround test video to check every chanel audio. It work fine on my Ac Ryan player. Both connect to HTiB by digital output. I don't know why TV cannot send a surround audio to my HTiB but my AC Ryan can. On tv, i try passthrough and also dolby but still no surround sound. Only left, right, center and subwoofer got the audio. I need to know whether this is tv hardware problem or android OS problem.

If any lowyat member here use Digital output as link to HT, may i know what player did you all have. Im afraid if i buy a 4k media player with android OS, the problem still there.

Older tv or non high end tv only outputs a stereo sound via toslink or hdmi..  The only way to get surround audio output from your tv is by buying new tv that supports surround output.

The issue solved. The TV is new. However, because i put an extension cable to 3.5 audio jack, the surround sound cannot deliver or process by TV
