Would like to know what kinda speakers you guys used for your X360  . I'm currently using Pioneer HTS-GS1, official home theater speakers for X360. Wonder if I can buy this in M'sia?  Anyone using Logitech Z5500 for their gaming console? I'm just curious if you're using Z5500 as your speaker system, what kind of input do you select on your Z5500? The reasong I'm asking this is because I'm thinking of getting Z5500 in M'sia. With the Pioneer system that I have, the audio input from my X360 into the speaker is automatically detected as Dolby Digital input, thus providing a 5.1 experience when you're playing Gears of War or Ace Combat 6. You can actually hear the sound coming from behind. But if I were to hook up Z5500 with my X360, how's the sound like? Does Z5500 automatically detect the audio input as Dolby Digital? I guess this part of the question only can be answered by those who own Z5500 + X360 at home. Please discuss your setting here  . Here is my setting.

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Nov 9 2008, 03:57 PM) since Z5500 have dobly digital decoder built-in, it should manage to detect dolby digital signal and decode it to 5.1 sounds. Technically it should be that way. But I just wanna double confirm this issue. It will be not much fun playing with just stereo sound, defeats the Dolby Digital features right  . I'm happy with my Pioneer system now. |

QUOTE(wintzen @ Nov 9 2008, 07:23 PM) Just want to ask, your pioneer system, is it a home system or is it specifically for xbox? Its both actually. When you connect to xbox then the whole thing becomes a home theater  . But I used it as my PC speaker + for xbox. QUOTE(daidzz @ Nov 9 2008, 07:28 PM) thats cool, how much does the pioneer sound system cost? Around US$170 QUOTE(wintzen @ Nov 9 2008, 11:27 PM) but i don't think the xbox have an optical output right? Xbox has an optical audio output.

Since you have LCD tv, might as well get a surround speakers to compliment your excitement. You can hear bullets & footsteps from behind. Real gaming experience.

But ... it only has coax inputs, no digital inputs. Coax means those red & white connectors right? Can get surround sound from it or not? Or must have digital input then only can have surround? Otherwise ... I could always go for the Logitech Z-5500, I think it's around the same price also right? I think z5500 around RM1.4k |

With optical you just need 1 cable, eliminate hassle.  |

Your optical will transfer all your audio to the speaker. Don't have to connect any other cables for your audio. Depends what kinda of AV connection you're using, you still need to connect your AV component. Unless you're using HDMI, don't have to worry about anything. All being taken care of, audio + video in 1 cable. |

If you use HDMI, no need to connect other speakers. It will take care of everything.
