mga sir, noob questions lang: can an Onkyo HT-R548 AVR (came with the HT-S5405 5.1 package system) drive Polk Audio TSi200 bookshelf speakers & CS10 center speaker? can these speakers be hooked to my AVR without any issues? tried searching the net but can't get straight answer. salamat sirs!

your motherboard has an optical audio out..
use an optical cable, connect it to your HK155 optical in1
digital audio out must be "ON" on your desktop "HD Audio Manager"..

configure Hk155, source..(e.g. aux) , audio input set to optical in1
play a sample music from your pc..select aux in your HK155..adjust volume to your liking

another option is to use a coaxial cable (rca), but you have to modify the other end to be connected to your mobo SPDIF header ( its a 2 pin header at the lower left corner of your mobo, in between the F-audio and the
F_1934 header( check your mobo manual on page 26)..terminal 1 ( near the mobo edge) terminal 2-ground.

my asus mobo have no optical out, so i used the internal spdif header using a standard rca coaxial cable, lucky to find a spdif header to rca adaptor from my emaxx mobo kit

Hi mga Master,

Bago lang po me sa HT world... tanong ko lang kung bakit may parang static yung speaker pag on ko ng AVR... nd naman malakas yung static pro pag wala naman naka play, maririnig mo parin sya. na check ko na po lahat ng wires and cables... ok naman po sila. Normal lang po ba yun? need ko po ba mag palit ordinary cable to high end para matanggal yung static?

Thank you in Advance po

Speaker: Bose Acoustimass 5 series II
AVR: Pioneer VSX D902S

Tanggalin mo muna lahat nang sources na connected sa AVR mo itira mo lang speakers ang nakakabit then pakinggan mo kung may static pa din when not playing anything..

Mga master noob question lang. Meron po kasi kaming old Sony speakers yung bookshelf type. Wood yung labas tapos malaki. May black and red wire cya. Connected kasi sa component ito dati mga 1980s pa. Pwede pa ba magamit yun kung bibili ako ng mga receiver gaya ng ONKYO? Ano po recommended? THanks

Receiver video output --hdmi cable--> TV
BD Player --hdmi cable (HD audio doesn't pass thru digital coax or optical)--> Reciever source input
Receiver Speaker output ---> Speakers

Sir Nelson pasakay Lang sa reply nyo. Pwede ko bang apply yung reco nyong connection sa LCD + bd/DVD player + receiver? I'm using hk 245. Presently kse I'm using hdmi for video only, for audio I'm using optical & coaxial cables. Read from the manual na hdmi switch itong hk 245. Can't understand what does it mean.
Hindi ko pa na try yung na suggested nyong connection.

   bale hindi na po didiretso sa tv ko yun bd player,dun ko na sa reciever [hdmi] source input iplug ang bdplayer... then receiver na ang magdadala ng video signal sa tv, via receiver [hdmi] video output?
   tama po ba sir nelson? TIA

   pahabol question po sa meron avr receiver na hk 156 kung meron ba itong standby pass through. TIA

Correct.

I think, ang standby passthru, means, your receiver "passes thru" the information from your HDMI cable source to your receiver's HDMI output maski naka-off yun receiver based on latest selection setting.

Can other guys chime in on these as i'm not familiar with this feature...

rockysta! · « **Reply #857 on:** Feb 06, 2012 at 06:34 PM »

confirmed HK 156 has no standby pass through feature

Ok lang naman ata kung walang standby passthru feature. Baka naman most of the time, when you watch movies, you'll be using your AVR din naman.

Standby PassThru is a nice addition...

So you don't really need to turn on the AVR to hear the sound maski na wala pass thru ang AVR.

The pass thru doesn't apply sa cable connection mo.

di ako master pero pwede pa rin yan. pero hindi yan true surround. check mo baka meron optical o coaxial inputs yung reciever para makalasap ka pa rin ng surround sound

meron po optical input old receiver ko

my problem is baka di lumabas yung audio sa receiver ko because HDMI is audio and video na di po ba?

baka po wala na audio output capability yung BD player through its optical out dahil naka HDMI na..
di ko rin matesting kasi this bd player is not around

meron pa rin yan. not all recievers kasi, case in point, can accept audio through hdmi. there are some newer AVR's that can't accept audio through HDMI even though they have HDMI inputs and they still rely on coax or optical

ganon po ba.. so the only thing to make sure for now is, this BD player should have optical output!

big thanks for your reply sir more power to you
