Hi to all bro using new 875,

What is the default calibration level of your AVR, meaning the value display when you select the Level Calibration option.

I set up my speaker manually initially without changing any of the leve value and I was happy with it. Later I used the Audessey thingy to do the calibration and now the sound level are much lower compared to before the auto setup. Audessey has adjust the front L/R by -7.5 db and the center by -12.5db. I have to crank up the volume to hear the audio out. I want to start all over again but forgot to jolt down the default value.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Frustration from my SR875 connectivity today....

MediaCentre PC
Option 1: HDMI to LCD, Composite Video + Digital Audio to SR875. Resolution problem through SR 875.
Option 2: HDMI to SR875, D-Sub (normal PC video cable) + Stereo Audio cable to LCD. Onboard RealtekHD chipset (PC mobo) does not allow concurrent Digital and Analog.
Currently using Option 1 without Video into SR875..... :grumble: :grumble:
Any suggestion?

2nd DVD player
Cap ayam DVD player to LCD ->> Component Video + RCA Audio.
Cap ayam DVD player to SR875 ->> S-Video + Optical.
Problem:  SR875 cannot see/receive picture, but ok for Audio.
Why ah?

Astro
Previously Composite Video to LCD, and S-Video to SR 875. Much better PQ through SR875 upscaling, but bad PQ on LCD (obviously). Do you think getting a good Composite video will help? How do you all connect yours?

The weight of this piece of metal nearly kill me when I carried it to have a check up this morning.   Told my buddy about the price being offered here and he called his supplier immediately.  Yeah, those are the 220v model.  Price is higher for 110-240v and 220-240v.  Mine is the later.  According to this supplier, the 220v model is for export to China market.  We still can use it in M'sia though but it may heat up pretty fast and thus shorten the lifespan due to our higher 240v.  That's the statement from the supplier, don't know how accurate can it be so please don't flame me.

Anyway, hooked up everything just now and tested out Star Wars lll, and boy, the sound now sounds awesome!!  Thought my previous 506 is pretty good, now this 875 is simply a big jump from there.   Now gotta start saving up for HD projector and player liao.

i believe aiman04 posted that his 875 contains a manual with 6 different languages, but not English.

which 6 languages, im not sure.

this heat issue is not limited to the 875 model....the NR905 also seems to be able to double as a room heater.

May I ask? Did u do set-up using the 875 remote?

how much is onkyo 606?..how does it perform with ps3?..senq has a package for the receiver with 5.1 speakers for Rm4799..is it worth it?..im planning to build a new home theatre setup and this looked as a good choice..any suggestions?
