No camera yet lol at this moment,will post up once i got camera.Sori.

i would prefer 875 or 805 coz it heavier than 876 or 806 but due to prices i decided go for 805 at attractive prices offered by another hifi shop.

yes,u are rite.805 are heavy than 806.i might over look but TQ for yr info.Anyway i had decided to go at 805 at good offered prices instead 875 which i cannot afford.

Anyway i had decided to select Onkyo tx-sr805

Tooooo Bad for me,just wanna pay out deposit then the hifi owner told me that Onkyo tx-sr805 no longer available liao even demo set also sold out.

called up till KL also no stock.

not sure but this hofi owner called up just just at KL to out sources but principal told him to stop promote as oredi discontinue.

May i know location for Desa? I'm from Pg anyway.

My fren check it out at Desa also no stock liao,looks like i have to buy Onkyo tx-sr875 which more expensive lol

Guys,below here that i got an advise from another forum.If you have a bd player with 5.1 decoder output,here are the changes to hook up with non HDMI Av Amp.Dunno whether true or not,you may try out these method and let us know abt it.


You still may be able to hear Uncompressed PCM, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS-HD Master with your older model receiver. (by "old school", I mean non-HDMI)

For those of you who have a standalone bluray player (not the PS3, as it does not have multichannel analog output)...there is hope for you yet.

I am posting this for those who are not very tech savy. For those who may be using an optical cable still, and have no idea that lossless audio can be achieved even with older model receivers. To cut to the chase...

if your receiver has mutlichannel analog inputs...then you can hear lossless audio. You will need to buy 3 sets of these analog cables. Just connect to your bluray player, and you will have lossless audio in no time.


This thread is intended for those who do not have an HDMI receiver but do have a Bluray player with Multichannel Analog outputs and an old school receiver with analog in's.

I know this is fairly common knowledge but there are still those out there who have no idea. And Im all about bringing everyone the best blu experience possible. This can work for audio in conjunction with component cables to the receiver, or even HDMI directly to the TV for video and the analog cables to the receiver for audio. So stop using optical, and get with the HD audio.

EDIT: TrueHD and Dts-HD can only be passed as Bitstream using an HDMI cable. For Multichannel Analog you would need a Bluray player with Internal decoding capabilities (into Linear PCM).

TQ for the info.I m still hoping for those who still have Onkyo tx-sr805 coz i only have tat amount budget alocated,otherwise i might select bd player with 5.1ch analog output which will hook at my current Yamaha rx-v1400THX and at least i won't spend more.
