so RM3.5K is the retail selling price in msia? as we can get it senq or harvey norman rite?
actually i tested it out the 805 out, so i know the performance, but just the price i get here is RM3.9k..
and i dun hav the time to survey it out other pricing:)
thx for ur info.

i working in Kl..RM3.9k is quoted at my hometown in ipoh by a hifi shop..not those Harvey norman or Senq..
he say its is an offer b4 that the selling price is aorund RM4.8k..
i tot normally those HV or Senq will quote a much more higher price than those individual AV shop..
but it turns out to be a different way...
any Onkyo 805 owner can clarify the price u guys get at which AV shop??
ur help is kindly been appreciated , as i qute busy recently to go to do survey:P

how old is ur amp?? wat do u mean by dying??
wat model issit?

any feedbacks from 805's user reporting audio delays or unsynchronizing with video? heard from an AV guys pointed out to me,make me undecided of purchasing 805...

thx for all the feedback:)
so with the latest firmware, is the issue solved or the delay was not so noticeable?

would like to know more on the 805, is there any downside for this avr?

side issue, can the latest denon2309 consider same par with onkyo805?
the pricing is quite near, still deciding which avr to get..

anyone can clarify 805 is made in japan,
while 806 in malaysia??

any lip sync delay adjustable function for the 805?
marantz,denon do hav this function

but many pros those hifi kakis..they just listen to 2 chnl stereo onli..
no subs for their system..
so the sound is pure n clean, and without any other addictive..
me too prefer bass for music..so i not yet reach the highest lvl of hifi kakis

just get a 805, asking a newbie question here..not quite familiar with the settings..
1) while watching dvd movie using dolby digital or dts mode better? wat about if watching concert?
2) why sometims it display THX cinema and sometimes just DTS? depends ont he DVD played?
3) after audyssey setting i found the dialogue of the center speaker rather soft, adviceable for me to manually adjust the level? and where to adjust it?

thx augustine:)
1) i found when using dolby digital is a bit louder than using DTS..but cant hear any difference between them..
2) wat about the EQ calibration menu? anything to play around there?
3) currently using 40" LCD HD ready, can i know about the upscaling thing on the 805? wat it means by that is that after upscaling the 2 black stripes on top n below of the dvd movie will dissapear and become full screen?
sorry..newbie here..and first timer own an AVR...

the thing i notice is the sound is lower volume in DTS..may i shud tested it out wit other DVDs..

Added on December 10, 2008, 4:49 pm1) wat u eman by calibrating properly? recalibrate Audyssey again? but i m using pasar malam DVDs..
2) the upscale to 720p means better in picture quality? currently i m using analogue cable for dvds..will it be a big diff if i using a HDMI cable? any difference to the sound quality as well?

1) my dvd dun support HDMI, now using coaxial cable for audio connection, adviceable to upgrade to HDMI players? will the diff be huge?
2) if suppose i get a HDMI player with upscaling capabilites, any diff comapring with the 805 doing the upscaling job? the end product is a much more higher picture quality?

Added on December 10, 2008, 9:40 pmerm..so adviceable to use DTS for movie and concerts most of the time? after selecting DTS do i need switch to THX cinema from the remote control?

Upgrading to HDMI would not make a huge difference for SD sources such as DVDs. If you are currently connecting via component video and coaxial digital audio you should be good. Having said that, with the current crop of DVD players costing less than (or maybe just a little over) RM200 (even for the branded ones) and with most of them equipped with HDMI out as well as 1080p upscaling, it may be worth considering an upgrade, esp. if your TV supports 1080p (or 1080i). In this case, you should let either the DVD player or your TV's built-in upscaling engine take care of the upscaling.

branded HDMI player cost around RM400, with my existing still working fine, throw away kinda waste..just thinking save the $$ wait for blu ray to drop or get the hdmi player

if i get the HDMI player, how many hdmi cable to i need? from HDMI to AVR, den from AVR to LCD? 2 HDMI cable?

erm..means connect HDMI from AVR to LCD, den the DVD just use component cable? so the upscaling will be done by the DVD player?

u got my question right...
but now my setup is connect my non HDMI DVDP to AVR using the yellow composite cable? issit call composite cable?
audio using coaxial cable..

so now the case is remain the same connection as b4, but just get a HDMI cable to conenct from AVR to LCD for the upscaling to 720i by 805 right?

tat day i saw HV selling 876 at RM7.5k and 806 at RM5.5k..u still not 100% waterfish

ok..will try it...same as u waiting for bluray price drop a bit den get 1
guess not much diff from 576p to 720i
any nice HDMI cable recommend? MONSTER? Audioquest?

905 for RM3.5k? where u get it? shocking me..i shud get 905 instead of 805 for that price

no..u outdated liao
dvd9 repackaging that u said is in a better quality "blu ray format" disc...claim better than normal dvd9, normally cost RM10-15
and recently there are a lot of pirated REAL bluray titles on the market, which bluray player onli can play..this cost u more than RM25 per pcs

i'm in the situation as u last month, i tested both model out..and finally still get my hand on 805..
in terms of specand material used,805 beat 2309 flatout..burr brown DAC, TI 32 bit DSP..etc etc
but denon has a bit of plus point tthat u mentioned..
on movies terms it seems that denon somehow have a better sound dynamic overall..and the sound separation is amazing too(some how 2309 just entry level for denon, the higher series like 2809 or3808 will definitely edge out 805/875 alot..)
on musical terms, denon still cant beat marantz, sr7002 is the one to go..(this is the one i wish to have, but price 1k above them...argh..

actually if the 2809 if can price at the 805 range, i definitely go for denon..

onkyo certainly go for power, and the bangs certainly is there for u..
due to may be this factor it might give u an impression onkyo throw out everything out the speaker for u..

as u urself also experience it the denon have the superiority in the sound dynamics and srurround, it wont rojak up the sound to u,it will take it slow n steady, separate it nicely serve it to u..
this is wat denon can outdo onkyo..and not to mention a better outlook amp..
but i choose 805 as mention better material used, burr brown DAC, TI 32 bit DSP...and the 2309 is just an entry level for denon, i would only consider for 2809, but the price put me out..so hace to take care my pocket tats y my final decision is on 805

i got quoted if not mistaken black 2309 for 2.9k, silver 2309 3.1k
