bought 5996 for RM360+Girafe HDMI..some say it can play file from hard disk, i tried for few times, but it cant..maybe some "otai" out there know hows...or shud the hard disk format to FAT32 instead of NTFS?

need some help,

anyway the quality of this player well acepted, USB conn quit speedy compare to my LG before..

use my Astro coaxial cable as digital connector instead of RM220 original coaxial, just spent RM10 to buy composit connector to terminate the existed cable, what a practical tips from some 1 on this forum. TQ bros...

You can't use NTFS. Use FAT32. Also some HDD need external power for it to work.

ok, TQ Bro, will reformat my HDD, but from what i heard USB 2.0 is powered connection, means u no need to plug an external power, as long it will run on ur pc without external power, it will run on other USB 2.0 connection such as my 5996..anyway will try to reformat my HDD 1st,then will update u guys later..TQ rclxub.gif

rm360? u paid by cash i presume? i paid by card...so the price didnt go down...stuck at rm369...still ok though

yeah...astro cable is presume is rg56...so shud do fine...i guess if the sounds quality is good, then i guess u shud be happy with it!

did u get the rca ends at jalan pasar? how much...used to get it for like rm2 or rm3 only....the bnc to rca and F-cnnector to rca is around that price too. Oh...read somewhere last time that could use wire hangar also to deliver the digital sound...that's be cool...habislah all hanger in the house like that tongue.gif hehe

if someone could do  a blind test comparing this quality with those darn expensive Monster or IXos cables...i'd love to hear the results...

btw - i hope i'm still within the topic smile.gif

Cash la bro..so far im sastified with quality of delivered sound, but i dont know either i could get better sound quality if i do use a high end coaxial cable or atleast the real coaxial cable available in the market since i dont do the test on the exact cox cable.

bought a phono conn at RM5/piece, 24K gold plated (but don know real gold plated or not) forsure, Q is gud and easy to terminate the cable..

What is "wire hangar" huh? icon_question.gif

just now i wanted to play one dvdr. Played it at 2 cap ayam players...film was jerking all the way. Even my old philips dvd recorder could not read the dvdr at all.

But then put in my new 5996 - voila! no problem at all. The whole film ran smoothly....no jerk at all. The SQ was much better too than the 2 cap ayam...

so yeah...go for 5996!

totaly agreed...and some more, High speed USB, can play external HDD..the lack of 5996 is just it dosnt came with optical out as some AVR (old model) dont have coaxial input..

..but.. if you already have HDMI dvdp.. why still use coax and not HDMI?

u have to understand the use of hdmi and coaxial, coaxial are specialy design to deliver digital sound data from dvdp to ur av processor while hdmi only carry a video to your av processor (what was happened to my 5996 and 506 onkyo)
