Physical Connections.

- Temporarily, I am using the standard RCA cables for sound from my normal DVD player and also the Astro decoder to the yammy amp, L / R. (until I get my PS3 soon I hope).


V663 Settings.
I read through roughly most of the manual, and whilst testing on some DVDs, I realised that from where I was seated (all speakers are pointedd in my direction, middle of couch), I can hear more sound that the rear speakers (the effects), and clear conversations from the centre. My T1 does not seem to contribute much.


So I have a few noob questions and I am hoping you guys can have an opinion on.

1. How do I get more bass without opting for a sub yet? Do I have to tweak the equalisers for more bass on the 663? If yes, which frequency level?
2. Is it my wiring that is wrong? From the T1 to the 663? Black = Positive and Red = Negative right?
3. What is a good sub to compliment my speakers and what are the price ranges so I can go audition them? (how do you audition subs anyway?)
4. Would it improve if I used those gold plated RCA audio cables from my DVD player to the 663?

*
U need to use optical / coaxial to enjoy digital surr (DTS/DD). RCA will only give you analog sound.

1. You simply cant. The .1 in 5.1 or 7.1 denotes the subwoofer. It is an integral part of the system. Unless you have full range speakers.
2. Black - neg; Red - pos
3. Try MS309 or WHarfy SW150.
4. It wont as you are not using digital connection.

I would go for 1800. My 1800 is able to drive my Klipsch floorstanders beautifully. My previous Denon aint able to that even it is rated at 90W at 8 ohms.

Both of tis brands cost more here in Mal la.. tats why u dont see many ppl suggest or using it.. drop down to our southern neighbor n its equal opportunity wif onks/denons/marantz hvin equal airtime.. Over there a denon 3808 is abt de same price as de 1800, which would u buy??
*

Bro, 3808 price went down? The last I checked AVR-2808 in our neighbour down south is abt RM3.6K, which is same as 1800. AVR-3808 is abt RM800-900 more. Maybe due to new model; 3809.

dirtrun,

Ooppss.. paiseh. Din know that SG is selling 1800 higher than here. Maybe due to high ex rate. I dont think the 1800 wld dip a lot. Most probably at abt RM3K range.

It is always good to share info smile.gif

hi htkaki. as far as i know, there is no new models for the denon 380x and 430x series for next year. denon announced 10 new models, all from 2809 and below. 3808 and 4308 will retain their position for 2009 lineup, so no 3809 and 4309 models.

Tks bro for the info. So, Synco wont be ditching his 3808 for newer model since there isn't any tongue.gif

The Yammy 1900 doesn't have much improvment over 1800 and it is going to cost more. Lucky me whistling.gif

I guess you might have read or compare it wrongly smile.gif . Maybe one in 6ohms, the other in 8ohms rating.

Here's the diff :

RX-V1900 Vs RX-V1800

Eh, I thought he is aiming for Marantz top end model? No? He changed his mind again, I guess. So, SPL1200R with B&W 6 series setup as in my friend's setup.

Not running my 1800 for the presence speakers as current 7.1 setup is sufficient and the surr sound field is enveloping enough.

Most probably at abt RM3.5K. The new 1900 will cost more than the current 1800. My guess is near to RM4K.

Try to connect ur dvd digital ( coaxial ) or optical out to ur yammy digital/optical in so that u have dolby/dts signal. Hope this help.

Yes, it could be one of the reason for this since it is not going to output DD/DTS signal.

For below RM2K with HD audio decoding capability, only 1 choice; RX-V663 for abt RM.185K. A&L in Sg Wang, Desa in Lowyat, and HN in Pavilion.

DVDP with HDMI output is able to upscale to at least 720p / 1080i. Some can go up to 1080p.

Bro, do u mean the only way to enjoy loseless HD Sound is using HDMI cable yeah ?

I wonder how good is the HD sound compared to already stunning DTS or DTS.ES.....

Bags of detail from lossless codecs, I would say. Life will never be the same again.

Cant get it. What do you mean by your spkrs are optical? Spkrs are connected to 663 by spkr cable only.

You should set to PCM as been mentioned earlier to enjoy lossless audio codecs.
