I think it means it accepts up to 7.1 analog connection of HD audio decoded and converted from the player rather than sending the digital signals through HDMI.

Well, PS3 is just an average blu-ray player according to What Hi-Fi UK, it suffers from motion judder. As for XBOX 360, it doesn't output uncompressed audio signals via HDMI. So both are flawed but can be used to watch these next-gen discs but honestly, if you didn't know, PS3 and XBOX 360 consumes more power than your big LCD tv, these consoles use 200 watts - 250 watts when in operation. Not a good ideal in my opinion.

abt 200watts! Wow, it is like running 2 CRT TV. I didnt know it is such power hungry

me too . . no idea. i am a PC gameboi

So, stil no ideas where i can find this Onkyo Sr605?

Give Hwee Seng a call. They are the distributor. Phone 03-78754840

Only Nintendo Wii runs less than 40 watts in operation but it can't even play normal dvds out of the box.

Most amps, displays and other Hi-Fi components are power hungry these days.

aiyo .. use solar generator can ah?

look like i must let go my amp 2 take this...hmmm upgrade...

Solar lamp or heater maybe lah, Solar generator for such items, I guess the solar panels are even more expensive than a 100 inch plasma tv.

haha - but i think the power consumption is worth it. any how, Pioneer keeps producing units with less power consumption, darker and higher constrast

OMG... looks so gorgeous.. anyhow.. it would be interesting to see the price they are offering .. and does anyone have any idea how much is the ipod dock??
