the desa HT having some nice Mordount Short 5.1 + Onkyo SR505 going for RM2,888, very nice setup liao

Bro, try goto e-mall at Jln Pudu, there're selling package Onkyo SR505 with Mordount Short Carnival 5.1 system for RM2,888, ask them to upgrade to SR605 for some extra....

p.s. they sell the SR505 alone at RM1,488....

you have $$$ to burnt...upgrade the speakers next time lor....get the receiver 1st
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....

was offered a used 9.1 (2 pcs) for RM630 b4....but I prefer floor standing so pass up.....

Denon price are too much for M'sia market....

cheap, very cheap SGD700 = RM1,610 nia....market price here ard RM2.5k wor....

u come to KL and bring 1 unit back lar....

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 center speaker only cost me RM170 during KLIAV show
Cheapo Wharfedale WH-2, but it get the works done....

I would take Yammy over Onkyo anytime and some said the Onkyo runs very very hot....

then the Onkyo is overprice in bolehland, the yammy is almost same price worldwide

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

I think the Yammy V661 already can matrix 5.1 to 7.1 liao...

that's the entry level lar...with HDMI1.2a...confirm can matrix...but you'll need 7.1 speakers to start with.... not 2.1

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

for short length (Less than 3m), any HDMI cable as long as it can carry audio and video (ver 1.1) will do.
for long length, better get those reputable or certified one....

certified or tested compliance (or WORK!) maybe lar....

if using PS3 to decode, just make sure your receiver have HDMI 1.2 will do...

anyone with SR605 + PS3 can try if set the PS3 to sent signal as bitstream, would the receiver decode the TrueHD and the lights goes up...?
