please update here if can get DV610 at RM650 when he comes back.  If yes, then you might want to tell him that there are few forumer would purchase from him..as A&L will get a lot of publicity for DV610 purchase.

get dv600av-s if u able to.dv600 component quality r expensive than dv610av-s.u may check both spec which almost same but previously dv600av-s prices abt rm1k plus if i'm not mistaken and now had drop liao.dv696av-s r also good quality component,but it can go only at 1080i upscaling.u may compare these 3 models,set with same configure setting then see the different.

Yep,pioneer should be more cheaper than denon.u may check around hi-fi shop for better pricing.i think there is a hifi shop posting at this forum for clearing sales due to renovation,correct me if my mistake.

Look at garage sales where this shop did a promotion.

Pioneer dv-400s is selling for two hundred  bucks only. It is only one left and open. Is it worth buying? Is there any big different between de 400s and 410s?

Check with Amcorp. They just got a big shipment in and very nice price.

Was initially looking at the Sony HT-SF2300 but wasn't happy with the sound (maybe not set-up properly).

Since I still had a pair of old Wharfedales decided to have a look at components.

Ended up with Yamaha 663 + PSB Alpha B1 & C1 to go with the Wharfedales. Sub will have to wait.

Started talking about DVD players, and was offer the Pioneer 610 for RM480. No choice but to take up after comparing the prices quoted here.

He will come to set-up next Saturday but will have to pay to the surround cables. Couldn't squeeze that out of him.

Mentioned he had about 20 units of the 610 so you guys better hurry up.

Not sure if that was a special price because I got other stuff from him.

Call first to confirm 03-79582884

Person I dealt with was Alex. A&L Amcorp Mall KL

Could you please write some review on it? How's the ability to read low quality DVD? What about scratched DVD? How's the USB port etc, any problem? upscaling quality? Thanks

Hi,

If u r considerin de 19** series denon, I d suggest u read de rvws for de oppo 981/983..

Better value for money.. n it dont lose out on anythin

You've never heard of Oppo?

Here:

http://www.oppodigital.com/

Well,

I got my 981 from our neighbor down under for ard RM1.2k, if not mistaken..

Donno abt scratched discs - why do u nid to play scratched discs  n if u do , do u really expect it to play flawlessly?
Ah.. but if u mean d5/9's then ya no prblms .. sum discs tat cant play on  my pioneer 270 n 380 can play on de oppo.. wat do you expect from a china based player??

Cheers
Dirtrun

Oppo's not china-based! They're based in Silicon Valley, California.

Who in their right mind would pay 1.2k for a china brand DVD player???

Is there any product that isn't made in China nowadays?

My iPhone says "Designed by Apple in California, USA, Assembled in China".

My PS3, speakers, subwoofers, almost all made in China. So what to do, the least is to look for is the design and engineering part, or at least the brand itself is not from China. (My Onkyo proudly made in Malaysia though. )

*Note: Paradigm speakers and subwoofers are still made in Canada. But it's possible they'll move their production line to China to cut cost, only question is when.

I never trust China brands per se, but I have no choice for Japan/USA/EU/UK brands that are made in China. At least we these well known brands should have good engineering, design and QC, they're manufacturing them in China just to save the cost of labour, etc.

Just to share with you all, the Pioneer DV-610 S is available in Mustafa's the 24-hr supermart in Spore. There are 2 prices for the same product, one is with local warranty, can't recall the price, mebbe SGD229. The Export Special price with no warranty is at SGD160.

Still cheaper than KL prices after conversion but gotta hope kastam dun kacau la...;-)

Believe me, KASTAM will DEFINITELY kacau,
this is not a small thing where you can hide..

why the hard effort to go all way to Singapore for few buck save,
can get from A & L at RM480 and also local warranty, far better than buy from Singapore and warranty from Singapore

troublesome pula

Think A&L does not have it at Rm480 anymore. All sold out.

THink if you scroll back a few pages....you'll see that it was sold out as they originally had 18 sets on sale for that price.....
