if the power consumption is 600 watts then yes. power consumption is usually found in the spec sheet. ask the salesperson kung pede mo makita spec sheet.

so thats means that you not really driving the speakers to its full output.

again, what are your thoughts on disk carousel (cd changer) they say that it easily breaks. and also which is better one way or two way on speakers.

kung maingat ka naman sa gamit, nde naman basta basta masisira. i-align mo lang ng mabuti yung disc para nde maipit.

mas ok ang 2-way kc me tweeter for highs and another woofer for mid/bass.

so in a 600 watts system, 60% of that would 360, divide that into 5, thats 72 watts per channel?

so your not really getting 100 watts of out of each channel?

You got it.

Those bannered ratings are more a numbers game than anything. The higher the figures the more impressive, the more sales.

so, the trick would be to get a high wattage reciever? where did you get the computation for the output?

av_phile1,

my friend has a teac HT, but the player is not working. the spec for the speakers are: sats 35w and sub 75. would be better if a just purchase a reciever and then upgrade the speakers later on, then the player, what do you think?

maxinell · « **Reply #244 on:** Sep 25, 2006 at 11:20 PM »

up ko lang po.

sirs suggestion naman for the recent releases of HT in a box.

has anyone tried the pioneer 5.1 wireless?
its around 24K now at abenson's i saw this when it was first released was around 35K.

with a budget of 15-20K...meron ba talagang bang for the buck?

TIA!

maxinell · « **Reply #245 on:** Sep 25, 2006 at 11:40 PM »

pahabol parecommend na rin po ng iba pa per price range

5-10K: like xenon, teac, next base etc.?

10-15K:

15-20K:

yung samsung P10 home theater system na bundled sa tv maganda ba compared sa iba?
ang sales talk nila eh orig price neto is 20K pero plus 5K nalang sa tv.

jcool · « **Reply #246 on:** Oct 10, 2006 at 01:37 PM »

Sirs, my HTIB (Samsung HT-Q20) does not have any headphone jack or an audio out provision.

Is there a way to somehow connect headphones or for the sound to come out from the TV? I know the answer may sound obvious but maybe you guys have a way. thanks

I got the samsung HTiB HT Q20 packaged with a TV for P5k lang. So far so good. 500Watts RMS. 80w per channel and 100w for the sub. Okey naman ang sound nya. Enjoyable for a small room na rin. With a FM/AM tuner na rin. Okey na rin ang mga features.

Saw sa SM appliance yung Pioneer na HTiB with 4 tower speakers. Price was almost P19k. GAndang tignan kaso wasn't able to audition it properly kasi hindi nila mailayo yung mga speakers sa main unit kasi nakabuhol daw yung wires. Nakakatawa yung mga ganung salespeople. Parang ayaw magbenta. So, I just passed on it.

thanks.

Thanks Sir Morpheous!

Finally bought my entry level HD system from samsung last oct. 8

Samsung slimfit 32" widescreen CRT
plus samsung HT-Q20 dvd player/amplifier PS-RQ20
all for 60K

nahaggle namin na 55K ung tv +5k for the HT.
feeling ko nga dapat lahat to 55K nalang eh kaya lang pahirapan talaga kaya pumayag nalang kami (as if i had a choice. its the only one i could afford!)

So far so good pero di nga lang kasama mga stands and brackets.
I just bought the pioneer stands at sm appliance for the fronts and powerview wall brackets at ace hardware for the rear surrounds yet to be installed.
concrete wall kasi sa likod so bro-in-law ko pa magdrill this coming weekend for that.
sa living room siya nakasetup.

sir mga ilang feet above the head nyo nilagay ung rear speakers?
basa ko dito mga 2-3 feet above the ears daw dapat.
problem with the room is that it opens up to the dining area at the back, so was thinking of placing heavy curtains to make it enclosed somewhat.
meron po kayo ma-suggest na ibang way?

thanks!

guys just want to ask... we are getting a pioneer HTIB cuz we're getting one soon. which is better

HTZ656 with HDMI
or
HTZ535 with the wireless rears... medyo hassle ksi sa wiring sa likod e.

29k yun HTZ656. cash is not an issue pero it has to be pioneer since we're getting a plasma with it.

motion55 · « **Reply #250 on:** Dec 03, 2006 at 06:50 PM »

It may be a hassle to wire but I suspect the HTZ656 sounds better than the HTZ535. I suggest that you audition the speakers and pick the one which sounds better.

Just count the HDMI as an added bonus but with non-HD DVD source the difference might not be significant.

JT · « **Reply #251 on:** Dec 05, 2006 at 12:29 AM »

For an HTIB, I'd go for models which has optical or coaxial input.

kyle618 · « **Reply #252 on:** Dec 06, 2006 at 01:17 AM »

got the 656 na lang since its the newest and it looks bagay with my 436hdg

Could be the wire, maninipis lang kasi pag HTIB. Or the terminal clips.

Quick q here: someone sold me an Omni-Phase M90 speaker system here in the US for $200 (the guy initially asked for $400 but I declined), saying it was an excess order and they really didn't want to sell it for full price (which was $1.8k according to the invoice and box).

However, though I'm not familiar with the brand. Any thoughts on this? Dunno if I'll get my money's worth on this or is this just a China-made brand that would go kaput in a month's time. Btw, the guys who sold me work for a home theatre installation company, one reason I probably took their word for it. I was also looking at eBay and the system normally goes for around $800.

Did the "HT installation" guys have a White van?

Hi Guys,

Would like to ask your opinion and instruction on how to connect an active sub (US audio) to an HTIB (Pioneer HTZ-222).

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

synchro_01 · « **Reply #266 on:** Jun 25, 2020 at 05:21 PM »

if the sub has speaker level inputs then you are in business. if not then you need a speaker to line level adaptor for your HTIB sub out

audio_slave · « **Reply #267 on:** Jun 26, 2020 at 04:05 AM »

@ synchro_01

as per checking the US audio have a speaker level inputs for left and right speakers, may I know on which i can connect the HTIB sub out since its just a single wire with +/- tagged.

Thank you

JeromeA · « **Reply #268 on:** Jun 26, 2020 at 07:54 AM »

iba ang connector nitong player. hindi ata pwede ang active sub sa HT ni sir..hindi nya kakayanin ata i drive ang active sub kung macoconnect man? DVD player pa to.

ito ba ang likod ng HTIB mo?

synchro_01 · « **Reply #269 on:** Jun 26, 2020 at 09:15 AM »

Jerome,

those connectors are just proprietary plastic connectors to make connections user friendly plus binding posts are impossible to fit due to budget (HTIB yan) and space. You only need a minuscule amount of power to drive speaker level inputs. Had a Samsung HTIB before and upgraded the passive sub into an active one using this method.

Audio_slave,

juts use the stock sub connector. Splice the other end of the wire and connect the positive wire to the two positive terminals and the negative wire to the two negative posts. Downside lang is that you will ditch the stock sub of the HTIB which im sure doesnt satisfy you hence the US Audio sub route.
