after reading through this tread its been more
difficult for me to decide between 606 or
yummy 636...

Now, anything that i miss out about this tx-sr606 advantages
over 636 sifu?

I'm more to movies rather than music listening..
anyone know where i can get the best bang for the buck for these two?thanks

The hifi shop in 1-U having a few units of Denon 2307 for sale at RM1.6k,
superb value....comes with HDMI 1.2a, only loss out at cannot decode the new audio codec only, but if u wanna use PS3 or any BD player which can decode internally with analog out, as your source, they have no problem in receiving the 8 ch LPCM signal....

PS3 can decode DTS-MA internally ar? sorry, abit out of touch now..

Yes! for long long time liao since firmware 2.4x

means ps3 owner dont have to buy receiver
that can decode dolby-trueHD & dts-MA..am i correct?

yup...but need to make sure that they have min HDMI 1.2a and can accept multi channel PCM signal

hi frend...im new here and im totally noob regarding HT...need some confirmation here....

"Video upscaling is all the rage in AVRs today, and the 606 can upscale all analog video signals to 1080i, regardless of the connection, for output via HDMI. When fed a 1080p/60 or 1080p/24 signal, the Onkyo passes it unmolested, which isn't the case with some AVRs on the market. Faroudja's DCDi Edge technology provides the deinterlacing. "

from http://www.guidetohometheater.com/avreceiv...k606/index.html

does it meen 606 can upscale 480p to 1080i???

Hmmm...... i also aiming for TX-SR805 model.But now sure how's the performance yet coz haven't go for audition.

Yes, can but don't expect mirage. There is slight improvement only. If you expect the Astro picture quality will look like bluray after upscale, you will be disappointed.

i am using upscaling from my avr when watching Astro..too bad din notice improvement..Astro lousy!

thnaks bro for the feedback....i still hope to see slightly improvement on asto image...actually im considering to buy whether this 606 or yammy 663....the spec i believe quite same but yammy don have the upscaling is it?

Tonight, i will buy sr606.....wohohohoho x sabar....unfortunately, still no speaker. Now, will hunting speaker.....

Already found the best bargain shop? mind to share?

Ai-yah y u didn't post this earlier I told my HM I wanted to get new AVR coz she can view Astro in 1080p like the blue-ray movies we c demo the shop. After sudah beli she marah me fr cheating her, only slight difference

... hunter hunted

That was part 1, part 2 I told her no good coz 'cap ayam' cables. In order to fully realize the potential of FullHD need branded HDMI 1.3 cables, bought and pasang oredi..... no difference!!! So to make her happy must pay fr her visit to the saloon

But then thats my experience, there r many ppl who swear only by switching to M***ter cable the Astro become HD

Second hand la bro.

ya....i also want to know, seriously. which shop and where?

Ha ha ha...sori lah...u never asked mah....Anyway u get your AVR approve right? This is good idea to get approval from HM...
