I prefer Yamaha too, not because it's a Yamaha but mainly because of their DSPs, they're famous for that. Even my amp has THX, I never used it once, just used Yamaha's own DSP instead, they sounded a lot better. THX sound processing is a little boomy for my tastebut personally i prefer yamaha than denon  |

Hahaha,
Everythings exp in Bolehland ... especially if it dont come from PRC(wif sum equal sounding name, tat is ... not those wif sweat shops but Jap/US managers ... kekeke  ) or from sum factory in Ipoh/Penang/Shah Alam etc etc...I suggest u dont look at de net for models to buy but just read for infos sake and then go hunting at ur local av shops or places like HN or BD or Sen Heng even then listen and try out for urself la bro.... The problem is avrs are so competitively keen... they change their models every year and nobody in de right minds will want to keep up ( even when there is nothing new to offer they always come up wif a new model each year ... sumtimes wif a measly claimed 10wts/channel extra, note I say claimed... ) Cheers Dirtrun This post has been edited by dirtrun: Aug 17 2007, 03:42 PM |

Hiya,
I havent gone avr shopping since getting my pioneer 911 a good many years ago( since then Ive added a Rotel 985 power amp to it) and its suited me fine... Well from wat I remember when I was hunting for a new avr to upgrade from my marantz 4200 :- Ok first off de Marantz 4200 is a little under powered and it dont have much bass and to me was a little wheezy when it comes to de heavy bass music or scenes... I liked de HK sound - very powerful even in music playing but I didnt like wat I read in de net abt its durability so I crossed dat off... Next on my like list is de Yammy 1200(dat time it was one of de bestla) and yes it is good (again even for music...to my ears, tat is) but it was way over budget so scraped dat too... Denon 3802 was great too but below Yammy in my book and again over budget... I tried de Pioneer 811 and found it suited my budget and ears best... I have a friend running an Integra(basically an Onkyo) 989 - flagship model back then which has problems wif one of its channels(intermittent sound) but its pretty powerful when its working properly, definitely worth an audition if u can find it... BTW I later got a used Yammy 520 to power a bedroom HT and it rocks hence if given a new budget for avr, I would definitely shortlist de latest Yammy... Cheers Dirtrun |

At the moment, I dont think there is any AV receivers with Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD in Malaysia yet. However, I guess it will be here by October. Most probably Denon and Yamaha.

Denon does produce very high end AV receiver, which produces jaw dropping effect. The flagship model, AVC-A1XV cost as much as a Perodua Viva. Denon and Yamaha have been in stiff competition in this segment for years. |

Initially I was thinking about upgrading to the Onkyo SR605 to take advantage of the HD audio capability of my HD DVD player and PS3 but this thread at avs made me seriously consider the Yamaha instead

Guys,
Just go to Mega Pavilion Harvey Norman and you can compare both receiver hooked up to same speaker. To me, budget wise and more money for the buck, i go for 705 which i bought it for 3300. At first i wanted to have denon 3808CI because of the wireless ethernet streaming capability, but then i learned my PS3 can stream any mp3 too, so that lower it down, beside the denon and yamaha cost RM 1000 more than my current 705. For those having PS3, you will love the "BLUE"..blue light when it goes on, pair with Onkyo blue light when on...and in my case, my Philips 7432 also power on light also blue...hehehehe...so many BLUES, really look nice... To those of you who in doubt, go test your ear at the above said mall, to me, i cant differentiate the Yamaha av and Onkyo av quality, both sound almost the same. Plus, you cant go wrong with a THX certified a/v receiver 705. |

That's cool !! Harvey Norman using which player to demo on yamaha/onkyo? I hope they are doing the demo correctly, with proper players and connection, receivers showing HD sound decoding.
If different components on each set, then not conclusive. |

I hooked up the new BD player..forgot which model already. Go and ask the staff to hook it up. The best thing is, Onkyo place their own technical guy over there instead of salesman to explain each single thing. You can ask them all the Q you want. He will demonstrate the function and stuff.

arj, the fella will quote 605 and 705 by Thurs. But after reading the spec and the link that you posted, 705 wld be a safe bet albeit more expensive.
Anyway, hope that 605 problem is in US only. |

Music source...hmm..i cant say much as i only play mp3..not sacd...hooked up on ps3...am not an audiophile but all high end pitch can be drive crazily clear and crisp...i have a bright speaker from FIDEK if you see my pics....i know its not the high end speaker...but good enough for me...the imaging was GOOD !! Listen to Miles Davis CD...awesome and clear sound...you have to go listen yourself...my ear and yours not the same ler...
To Accs-Centre One U ? Didnt see any Onkyo there, probably i wrong...but for safe bet..go mega pavilion..heck they got Onkyo and Yamaha allready hooked up in Demo Room...bring your own cd for your listening pleasure... This post has been edited by Ka3tr0: Jan 1 2008, 09:22 PM |

today i went to harvey norman@pavilion. the guy quote me RM3399(credit card) for sr705 with extended warranty 1+4(years), bcoz i'm noob about speaker connections, i ask that guy to demo(connect) to pioneer speaker(htz363dvd) cause i already have this HT set.
This guy call his friend(maybe expert with pioneer system) & confirmed the connection can be done. they use hdmi cable to connect dvd player, receiver & lcd. no problem with video but the problem is no output sound. alamak card dah swipe 4 payment. After a few hours they found the hdmi output(from htdvd363) only carry video only. ohh sungguh malang nasibku. finally i've to cancel my payment dan pulang dgn hampa.

Confused. Your HTZ363 is a HTIB set right?
So how was the connection set up? The pioneer dvdplayer -> 705 receiver -> pioneer speakers? Thought for HTIB, speakers only work if output from the player itself (not from other receiver) Anyway, it's strange you plan to get 705 to match with HTIB. Should be with BD or HDDVD player.

If u read my post, i already state that i'm noob about connection setup. i ask that guy more than 4 times regarding the setup. he said it should not be a problem with the connection. BD or HDDVD player is already in my plan(next target) but not now(bajet lari). maybe after CNY or wait until the price reduce little bit more.

Just got back from Harvey Norman @ Pavilion. Was quoted RM2589 for the SR605, RM3299 for the SR705 and RM4xxx for the SR805/875. Can't remember the exact price. They also have the Yamaha RX-V1800 at RM41xx and the RX-V3800 at over RM5000
The receivers are connected to some decent speakers. Might bring over some CDs and DVDs during my next visit |

The Yamahas is in the next room which I didn't have time for a demo. As for Denons, you might wanna check out Desa Home Theater and Tong Lee at Lowyat for them. |

Sorry and I hope I dont ninja post. I got a question about this av receiver and I really a NOOB.
Here is my setup. 1. LCD TV with 3 HDMI 2. Pioneer DVD player --> LCD TV using HDMI 3. HTPC --> LCD TV using RCA+stereo cable (thinking to replace HTPC with Dvico 4100 or 5100) 4. LCD TV --> 5.1 THX Speaker I am thinking to buy those Av receiver to centralize control the sounds but after looking at all the above posted price which run into thousands, that really scare me off. Is there a cheaper way? Note: I am not hardcore a/v fan so I dont think I will spend that big bucks unless I strike big sweep 1st price. |

Just came back from window shopping at Desa Home Theater in Kepong and Acoustique Systems in Amcorp Mall. At Amcorp Mall I was quoted RM37xx for the Onkyo TX-SR705 and RM3690 for the Yamaha RX-V1800. At Desa I was quoted RM4000 for the RX-V1800 but as I was walking away, I was offered a "today only" price of RM3800

To the Yamaha RX-V1800 owners, any of you using banana plugs? I read in avsforum that apparently European and Asian models of this receiver does not support banana plugs. It would be very tedious to screw the speaker cables one by one

QUOTE(rx330 @ Jan 7 2008, 10:07 AM) htkaki, anjua? ask only kenot ar? you have $$$ to burnt...upgrade the speakers next time lor....get the receiver 1st ok, all this 605, 705, 1800, if pair with satelite speakers, is it a waste? the surround use satelite speakers no problem cos' most movie are front enhanced, surround is mostly for the "FEEL", most important is the 3.1 i.e. Front L, R, Center and the Sub....I'm using satelite as my surround also.... |

QUOTE Getting a good amp like SR705 requires GOOD SPEAKERS to pair with... A decent 5.1 speakers alone should cost u around 5k liao.. Yes, you are right about it. Better allocate more budget for the speakers as you do not have to upgrade it a later stage, which is waste of money. |

rx...I advise u got get those out-going models which should be a very good price or wait for the AV show...come to KL and sapu those discounted speakers...but be sure to drive a van up too
or...buy your receiver 1st then slowly choose your speakers and use existing one tahan dulu, hey, like that u'll want to watch the same movie again and fully utilized the value u invest in the PS3 and the TV |

my suggestion is to stick with 705, coz 700 no much diffrent also... and it will save u $$$ to upg to higher end amp.
lets said if u planing not to upg yr amp in next 5 yrs. its only cost rm140/yr and less then 40cents/day. for me i will rather save abit longer for that. QUOTE(Synco @ Jan 11 2008, 10:40 AM) if thats the case maybe i should go for SR605 extra 700 diff can buy center speaker liao |

There is one local distributor that refuse to repair 'grey import' of a reputable Hi-Fi brand that they carry. So, better check first.

Last time Sony M'sia did repair my CD discman and video camera bought from Japan.....with a fee off course...
Maybe only distributor won't do the repair but if the holding company have their own marketing/trading company here, they will. Lets list down those company with own service center and not through distributor in M'sia:- 1. Sony 2. Yamaha 3. JVC 4. Canon 5. Panasonic Those using distributor:- 1. Toshiba (Teledynamics) 2. Denon (Woo Kee) 3. Pioneer 4. Onkyo Please add on |

To be frank, both Yammy and Onkyo runs pretty hot, these amps need to be placed in a well ventilated area and not in between your A/V rack, you'll risk frying the mainboard. I usually put a cooling fan on top of it to make it run cooler.QUOTE(htkaki @ Jan 12 2008, 09:54 PM) I think Sony no longer has their own service center throughout the country.

From what I know, Pioneer doesn't have their own service centres anymore, they have contracted macam-macam punya people to do the servicing and they have done a pretty bad job. Had a bad experience dealing with them. |

HDMI 1.0 - This is the first version of HDMI. HDMI 1.0 combines a digital video signal (standard or high-definition) with a two-channel audio signal over a single cable, such as between an HDMI-equipped DVD player and Television.
HDMI 1.1 - This version adds the ability to transfer not only video and two-channel audio over a single cable, but also added the ability to transfer Dolby Digital, DTS, and DVD-Audio surround signals, as well up to 7.1 channels of PCM audio. HDMI 1.2 - This version of HDMI adds the ability to transfer SACD signals in digital form from a player to a receiver. HDMI 1.3 - This version includes improvements in both audio and video capability. With the advent of Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD, version 1.3 adds the ability to transfer the digital bitstreams for the new high resolution audio formats: Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD. HDMI 1.3a - In addition to the above audio improvements, HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a increase the amount of video bandwidth that can be transferred from a source to a display. This means, that in addition to the standard 24-bit color depth we are used to, HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a have the ability to transfer color depths up to 48-bits, and can accommodate resolutions much higher than the 1080p resolution standard that is in use today. if the player is doing the decoding, for audio..HDMI 1.2a will be good enough, since it will decode and transfer as PCM. unless your display support deep colour and the lip syn thing...u don't need HDMI 1.3a |

QUOTE(mpyw @ Jan 14 2008, 02:25 PM) HDMI 1.0 - This is the first version of HDMI. HDMI 1.0 combines a digital video signal (standard or high-definition) with a two-channel audio signal over a single cable, such as between an HDMI-equipped DVD player and Television. don't forget your whole HDMI chain will default to the lowest setting.. and also ability to bitstream DTS-HD to amp is great with the next gen low cost blu-ray players which don't have builtin decoders (so 1.3 min required IMHO)HDMI 1.1 - This version adds the ability to transfer not only video and two-channel audio over a single cable, but also added the ability to transfer Dolby Digital, DTS, and DVD-Audio surround signals, as well up to 7.1 channels of PCM audio. HDMI 1.2 - This version of HDMI adds the ability to transfer SACD signals in digital form from a player to a receiver. HDMI 1.3 - This version includes improvements in both audio and video capability. With the advent of Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD, version 1.3 adds the ability to transfer the digital bitstreams for the new high resolution audio formats: Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD. HDMI 1.3a - In addition to the above audio improvements, HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a increase the amount of video bandwidth that can be transferred from a source to a display. This means, that in addition to the standard 24-bit color depth we are used to, HDMI 1.3 and 1.3a have the ability to transfer color depths up to 48-bits, and can accommodate resolutions much higher than the 1080p resolution standard that is in use today. if the player is doing the decoding, for audio..HDMI 1.2a will be good enough, since it will decode and transfer as PCM. unless your display support deep colour and the lip syn thing...u don't need HDMI 1.3a as for higher bit color depths, this is a real bonus.. as it's 8bit per color already you can see color banding on LCDs... surely you need to go higher bits soon to eliminate these visible issues.. Added on January 14, 2008, 2:32 pm QUOTE(rx330 @ Jan 14 2008, 02:27 PM) but hor... hdmi cables itself also got different version? got, those < rm100 version and those rm1000 version..

okay, let me give u guys a little situation...
as we know, currently PS3 only outputting PCM (plus Dolby TrueHD) via HDMI, meaning decoding is done in the PS3. We never know when BitSreaming HBR will be added to the PS3 or might not. So currently, does it means that we dont need those A/V receivers that have the capabilities of decoding HD audio? only those could handle PCM is adequate? no need to splurge large cash on receiver... assuming PS3 is the blu-ray player, 5.1 speaker system. |

apparently, 661 is more future proof than 605. 661 able to allow processing on PCM sources. Onkyo 605 wont process it. but onkyo 605 able to accept bitstream HBR from players (sams 1400, pana bd30) haiyo, Im torn between yams 661 and onkyo 605... i planned to purchase it end of the month (CNY bonus )thinking to get standalone bluray (sam 1400 or pana bd30) but my finance minister wants PS3 (haha can u believe it, she wanted to play games as well).. no choice, have to heavily consider PS3. so im leaning towards yams 661.. need to go audition again!

As we know, TrueHD, DTS HD MA capable receiver only decodes these HD audio in bitstream (bit-to-bit). Currently there is no blu-ray player could bitstream DTS-HD MA, except PCM (thru HDMI or MultiChannel Analog out). DTS HD MA players that could bitstream it is Pana BD50 which hell's knows when it will be launched. So most blu-ray (including our beloved PS3) sends this TrueHD in PCM via HDMI. (no DTS HD MA yet, god's knows when it is). So if the player send the audio as PCM to the receiver, TrueHD light will not appear. So, 661 able to handle this PCM audio and able to matrix it to 6.1/7.1 and apply processing (PL IIx, DSP, EQ etc etc). plus we could get Yamaha's famous DSP processing as well. Plus, DAC in 661 is Burr-brown, correct me if im wrong. Even onkyo 605 able to decodes TrueHD DTS HD MA (only in bitstream), it cant apply any processing on PCM audio. 705 can. hope this helps. as for 5.1 or 7.1, on my experience it quite impressive. Surrounds sound more depth. This post has been edited by apisgogo: Jan 18 2008, 03:47 PM |

Erm, you mean the one that being sold by Tong Lee? Hard to give comment as I havent have the chance to audition 605. Given the tech advancement in this AV receiver, I guess it could possibly take over Sounstage' s task.
Btw, are you referring 'mid' as center speaker? I suggest you look for KEF to partner Cresta 10.

Btw, care to share the performance of SR-705?This post has been edited by htkaki: Jan 20 2008, 02:43 PM |

Aiyoh...the more I hear the more confused I get. I thought I already made up my mind on 605 but now don't know already.......
Anyway, I found 1 set of Wharerdale Cyrstal (CR40x2, WH2 center and surround) for RM1680. Quite a good buy but not sure if can match the 605 or not because the shop only have Denon. This price is almost same like the Jamo 606. Another choice will be the Mordaunt Short Carnival 9 for RM2500. Which one will you go for? |

who said Denon 1508 cannot do PCM 5.1????
that's the most basic signal and with HDMI 1.3a...1508 should not be a problem handling PCM 5.1...even my very old Sony can do PCM 5.1 with analog connection.....

QUOTE Denon's lower-priced receivers are similar, but there are some significant difference. The AVR-1508 and the AVR-1708 both offer dual HDMI 1.3a ports, but they're video-only ports, which means you'll need to make a separate connection for audio. The AVR-1908, on the other hand, offers true HDMI switching with audio, along with onscreen display, which both step-down models lack. The AVR-1708 and the AVR-1908 both feature Audyssey auto setup, along with upconversion to the component video output--the AVR-1508 is lacking both of these features. oh...sorry..their HDMI 1.3a is for video only...so funny but they can still do PCM 5.1 if connect through analog connection....

the Jamo A102
...u gotta check with RX330, he has the set with him pairing with Onkyo SR605...and he said cannot hear the different between DD/DTS with LPCM 5.1/DolbyTrueHD....but refer to the spec...I think the dynamic range starting from 150Hz is too high and a lot of bass will be missing.... |

Need some feedback from you guys. I have a Yamaha RX-V750 paired with yamaha NS777 speakers and a subwoofer. Thinking of upgrading but should I upgrade the receiver to RX-V1800 or upgrade to a better speaker? What do you guys think

Let me see whether i understand it correctlyasc, ps3hdmi in to onky, if xbox elite, got hdmi, also in, then out from onkyo to projector(if ada hdmi) so 3 hdmi cables but hor... this onkyo a bit weird one... lets say u wanna listen song lar... from the ps3 or xbox, after selecting ur songs, normally u will shut down the projector or the display rite? once the display is change, the onkyo will shut as well, so no sound 1. 1 HDMI cable from PS3 to ONKYO 2. 1 HDMI cable from XBOX to ONKYO 3. 1 HDMI cable from ONKYO to projector. So, projector will automatically know which device is currently running? Onkyo must have atleast 3 HDMI ports? |

Bro rx330, I feel that you always go SG to buy your stuffs, if I'm not mistaken, you live at Taman Pelangi right?
Anyhow, I beleive you got plenty of experience in bringing in your stuffs from SG. Mind telling us which one is "safer", the Tambak Johor or 2nd Link, and at around when ( morning ke, evening etc ) is the best time to avoid Customs to check your car? My previous experience, latest was middle last year. I was bringing in plenty of sports scooter & sportsbike stuffs for my mates ( and of course, I ask for commission lar! ) since I was spending a good whole week with my grandma over at Felda Cahaya Baru. If it's viable, rather go SG and get my HT stuffs. Maybe not floorstanders lah, that oen too heavy oledi. QUOTE(rx330 @ Feb 11 2008, 02:37 PM) spore still the cheapest |

Soli ah if wrong address. Anyhow, share le your experience. If I find it viable ( and can ensure that I won't get stopped for check at the at MY Customs ok oledi ). Haven't driven to SG for about 6 months oledi, so dunno le if now MY Customs is very strict the full 24 hours stretch. Seems like the prices for HT stuffs there is cheaper by at least 30% compared to here mah, that is why I'm eager to know your experience mah. I'm not doing a case profile la....

SenQ is selling around RM2700. Actually I'm thinking of driving down to Singaopre to buy.where is Watts? how bout SenQ? dunno whether possible got bulk before for receiver.... interested on onkyo.Added on February 11, 2008, 9:02 pm QUOTE(sunauto @ Feb 11 2008, 01:34 AM) That's the price for the sub only. I thought HiFiChoice already closed liao... Last time it's in Megamall Penang.Can try going to Hi-Fi Choice lor, I always get my hi-fi stuff from them and they can match the prices offered elsewhere as long as you pay by cash.

Thanks for the info htkaki. Hhhmmmm, this Velodyne sub will hold me off any urge to upgrade sub ke?
QUOTE(htkaki @ Feb 12 2008, 09:11 AM) I guess it would be around RM2K for that Ah, mucha thanks. Haihs, looks like hafta find a way to make the stuff look 2nd hand then. Out goes the spare tyre then! If I can drive my hatchback better lah. Got a nice hidden box, enough to put receivers + cables etc, but now there's two amps inside! Someone recommended me to find an old box and put the stuff inside, hide all the cables, warranty etc so the stuff look like I bought it from a person 2nd hand. So if I got stopped by MY Customs, show off the box and say : " Takde resit lah bang, brg 2nd hand beli dr kawan ni. ", maybe, just maybe, the probability of me getting off scot - free is there lah.

Aiyoo...
The past 3 years I've driven back to JB, I went to SG about 7-8 times, only stopped by MY Customs twice. Once I was carrying about 60 pieces to mixed clothing, that one I got away lah because the Customs officer was very kind. 2nd time, the see my luggage area, got a 10" sub and a rear strut bar, then simply let me off la. Only thing I had beside me was a sticker kit for Ducati MotoGP rep, that one didn't kena lah. Well, it's been a while since I've driven to SG, so I dunno how the MY Customs are. How they classify / rate your 2nd hand stuffs when there's no receipt for it?
