tenx, got mine as well nice meeting you enygma. congrats at na set up mo na. me i have not kasi no time din binuksan ko pa lang ang box at binabasa basa ang manual. you are right enygma hindi ganoon kagaling ang harman sa manual. ang kapal ng manual nila kala ko intensive ang info iyon pala konti lang kya kumapal dahil translated sa 100 languages he he he he....

i guess set ko ang hk ko next week na dahil medyo busy rin ako dahil lagi akong tinatawagan ni bush sa plano nila

post ko na lang ang question... definitely meron iyon.

qatarman,

pre, nice meeting you too. thanks fro the free ride at napadali ang uwi ko nung hk5500 ko.

actually, nung binuksan ko nung friday iyung box titingnan ko lang sana iyung remote and then iyung manual at isesetup ko na lang kinabukasan. e hindi ako mapagtulog that time at naiinip na rin ako so ang ginawa ko isinet-up ko na rin ng gabing iyon. hehehehe

alam mo naman na gipit na rin ako sa oras sakaling matuloy ako sa pupuntahan ko. buti ka every other month mapapagsawaan mo ang new "baby" mo. hahahaha tungkol nga pala sa pagseset-up mo, sakaling may tanong ka, i-pm mo na lang ako or just text me na lang para mapadali ang sagot ko. kaya siguro ayaw mo pang iset-up dahil gusto mo isabay mo na dun sa b&w speakers na inorder mo para isang bagsakan na lang. hehehehe ang tindi ng set-up mo ha.

siguradong matagal bago ka magaupgrade ulit.

isa nga pala beacause of hk5500 i was able to find out that one of my cd is an HDCD.

considering na binili ko pa ito 3 years ago. tinitingan ko kasi iyung display when i noticed na naka-on iyung HDCD instead of the PCM which is magdidisplay if you're playing a regular cd. so what i did tiningnan kong mabuti iyung cover ng ng cd and whoa! may HDCD na nakalagay doon. kaya pala i noticed na naiiba iyung dynamics nung sound na nilalabas ng cd na iyon compared sa mga previous cd na naiplay ko. my question is mas mahal ba iyung mga cd na HDCD compared to a regular cd?

kasi the price of that cd is the same as of a regular cd. kung pareho rin lang, i would definitely buy HDCD's!!!

no probs enygma, nawa matuloy ka na... dre maganda roon. if you need a help also just call me at the office... you got my number.

psensiya na at di kita naihatid sa mas malapit or sa inyo mismo

medyo guilty nga ako dahil mabigat ang daladala mo noon.

anyways,,,, medyo made delay ang bili ko ng b&w kay nico dahil sinabon na ako ni misis so what i did i ordered bookshelves and center kay nirvblkr at bukas ko na ng monday makukuha.

siguro by late may or early june na ang bili ko mukhang mapapayagan na ako ni kumander by that time.

enjoy sa bago mo rin baby. ill text you pag set up ko tom.

Qman · « **Reply #152 on:** Mar 27, 2003 at 12:01 AM »

galeng talaga ng hk

.... kahapon break in ko ang speakers na supplied ni nirvblkr.... todo ko ang volume to plus ten...... buong kalye sa subd. namin nayanig

... (galeng din ng speakers ni nirv.......).....

nagulat nga ako dahil kinabukasan may nag ring ng door bell namin na kapitbahay ko at nanghihiram ng mga audio cds ko.

though medyo frustrated ako sa philips dvd 580m (ht in a box) well since it comes along with 5 sattelite speakers at sub although may digital out (coax at optic) disable naman daw sabi sa technical team ng philips at kailangan i upgrade using some software.

so kailangan pumunta na sa makati at dalhin sa kanilang service center

Qatarman- I'm glad you are enjoying your HT now and with a good speaker to receiver combi.

Kulang nalang sub and surround speakers and you are in HT nirvana!

a friend of mine just got into the HT hobbie and got himself one of those HK packages sold by Archi Audio. the set was matched with JBL speakers. the combo sounded great!

anyone else using JBLs with a Harman?

Yung package ba na binili ng friend mo is yung jbl scs 178 and which harman receiver? how much?

bunkieboy · « **Reply #160 on:** Mar 31, 2003 at 03:00 PM »

not too sure which jbl model. its the light colored finish ones that are about 10 inches tall lang. will check with him also to verify the model.

the sub is small but provides adequate punch for movie viewing

pre mukhang puro harman na lang ang tinitingan mo diyan ha. hk fanatic ka na rin tulad ng iba kasama na ako. hehehehe

iyung hk3550 sa archie audio cost about 20k plus so ok na rin siya sa price niya. kung pamimiliin mo ako between yamaha 430 and hk3000, i'll pick the hk pa rin.

Hello, I'm all new to this Audiophile stuff. I'm in the market for an A/V reciever, and I think I'm falling in love with all the Harman Kardon Stuff... I went to this store selling amps and speakers in Podium (forgot the name), and said that they were recieving a new shipment of HKs its about 22k but he' priced it to me at 18.5k I think it was the AVR320... not sure though I all I know is that it has a 3 in there somewhere. I have an old Pioneer Dolby PL A/V reciever with Infinity center speakers, JPW FL FR and RR RL. I'm really considering to upgrade to this HK amp! any tips? I'm getting all to excited. I want to upgrade my AV reciever!!!

Kings · « **Reply #166 on:** Apr 04, 2003 at 10:32 AM »

Hi jpadua. I think this post should be in the Home Theater : Audio thread, instead of here. This thread is for buying and selling of miscellaneous (i.e., non-DVD) stuff.

oo nga eh puro HK nasa isip ko eh. lahat ng store na tiningnan ko rito hinahanap ko harman kardon eh. actually demo unit iyon at mukhang mapapababa pa ng 700 riyals little less than 200 dollars. Kako sa kasamahan ko kunin na eh so babalikan nya this week.

I think it's a H/K 3550 (20.5K) or a H/K 2550 (17.5K).

H/K 125, 225 & 325 are not available here in the Philippines.

hey since the hk5500 has only 5 built in amplifiers, how much is an amplifier if I want to make it 6.1 or 7.1?

cybermms · « **Reply #174 on:** Apr 04, 2003 at 04:38 PM »

There's an HK AVR320 RDS which is a European model. Its power output is 55watts X 5, with pre-outs for all channels and 6 channel inputs.
