Yakuini, you're using DTX 9.5 tower for fronts di ba? Enough ba ang power ng AV 387 para bayuhin ang 9.5?
Whatabout the bass? Kindly share naman ang review mo.

Punchy ang bass ng Sakura-DTX Tower combination. With proper volume level and Bass settings, you will feel a chest pumping bass even if you are 8 feet away from the speakers.

As for high, my wife, who doesn't care about my setup, says the singer is very alive and she feels like she is right in front of the singer. She even said she never felt that with our AIWA Component...need I say more?

Upgraded my old Sakura 325 to the new Sakura 387 model yesterday. Asteeg! Parang branded na yung design, feature and aesthetic

My plan is to upgrade to Yammy but now that I got this one, mukhang mapo-postpone muna...

Yakuini,
Congrats pare! kayang-kaya na ngayon i-drive ng AV-387 ang DTX center mo.

enjoy!

Bro, thanks. Mine kasi is AV-377, ang sinundan ng AV-387, with almost the same features. Currently using a mini-bookshelf (wharfedale valdus 100) as fronts but contemplating on upgrading to DTX 9.5 tower para makatipid sa kuryente para hindi lagi naka-on ang active sub ko whenever listening to music.

Almot a year ago I saw a Sakura receiver with dual toroidal transfoermers. Failed to get the model numbers. But I was pleasantly surprised they sport dual toroids - a mark of good power design to begin with.

Marami pa kayang stocks ng Sakura AV-387? I'm contemplating on replacing my AV-1600 (has Dual Toroids) kasi e, because mono ang rear. Baka nxt week kasi andyan kami sa Manila e. Thnx mga bros.

Bro,
makasabat lang, since the peak power input of the 9.5T is only 140W(RMS), it only needs an amp that has about 175W(RMS)[20% allowance] to satisfactorily drive it. Since 250W ang Sakura 387, IMO, kayang-kaya. Gusto ko ring palitan ang 1600 ko ng 387.

Sinuyod ko kahabaan ng raon st. kahapon and dalawa lang nagca-carry ng 387 model. Yung tabi ng Knight Audio and yung D.Y.H or D.H.Y hehehe

Same price lang at P3,500

FYI: 387 do not use Toroidal power supply. Mahaba yung power supply nito, parang dalawang pinagdikit na power supply ng computer yung haba.

Mababa sensitivity ng Diamond center, baka mahirapan 387 mo.

With all the bangs and whistles that comes with the 387, who would believe na 3500 lang sya

mag all the way ka na DTX,
dumating na rin ang DTX9.5T ko for surround and balance na balance ang sound
tulad ng iniwasan ni neo yung bala ng agent sa matrix 1
from front to rear then from rear left to rear right, timber perfection!

also

their are some low frez sound that i only heard for the first time ngayon naka floorstander and rear ko, lalo na kapag DTS

Yakuini, Dirk,
pards kaya rin ng AV-377/387 i-drive ang wharfe 8c. may barkada ako AV-377 din ang gamit tapos ang speakers nya us audio (tower) for front , wharfe 8c for center, DTX9.5T for surround and dtx 4.15 for sub. a few weeks ago pumunta kami sa bahay nila, malupit din tumunog ang wharfe 8c bilog na bilog ang sound.

si mojako alam ko satisfied din sa Sakura-Wharfe (8.1 and 8c) combination nya.

Kimp0y,
bro, sarap naman manood sa inyo. try mo rin yung podrace scene sa star wars.

kimpOy · « **Reply #258 on:** Mar 16, 2004 at 08:35 AM »

podrace...oo nga ano, thanks,
pero mas ok siguro kung nakalagay na ang
DTX center ko kasi wala akong stand para sa rear center eh.

juneaki, meron ka bang pic ng 377? I just want to compare it with 387 kung ano pinagkaiba nila.

Hiram ako ng digicam pag naayos ko na setup ko.

juneaki · « **Reply #261 on:** Mar 16, 2004 at 11:01 AM »

Yakuini, yung AV-377 at AV-387 ay pareho na pareho ang hitsura, pati mga buttons at knobs, even the location of the buttons and knobs. I think even the specs (250X2 and 50X3, fronts,center and surrounds). The only difference is 377 vs 387.

Mga guys. Ang sakura ay well endorsed sa akin ng sister ko pero sad to say hindi yun ang ang klase na tunog na hanap ko. My setup is like this. I have a Xenon (forgot the model) DVD player that has a built in DTS decoder and is AC3 ready. Walang optical or coaxial input ang sakura ko but it is AC3 ready also(or as the manufacturer says) so ang ginawa ko, lahat ng AC3 output ng player ko, kinabit ko sa sakura ko, with the exception of the subwoofer. Dun ko yan kinabit sa isang 2 channel amp ko na panasonic (matanda na mga bro) and dinadrive niya ay isang passive subwoofer. Oks sana tumunog. Dumadagundong. Kaya lang, bakit di ko marinig ang audio (dialogue pala). Meron pero mahina. Cany you help me out? My DVD player has a test tone buillt in and when I tried it, only the front and a little bit of the center and tumutunog. I remeber na the model number: Sakura AV-326, Denon DVD-820, at ang aging ko na Panasonic, Digitalink Amplifier. Welcome mga suggestions niyo. Di ko binili ang Sakura. I won it in a raffle during one of the seminars that I attended. I am thinking of buying na lang a good brand but if there are any suggestions re in retaining my setup, welcome kayo.
GUSTO KO MA-UTILIZE ANG 5.1 SETUP PERO DI KO MAGAWA!@!!!!!

juneaki · « **Reply #263 on:** Mar 18, 2004 at 07:55 AM »

Bro, have you tried to change the audio option of the DVD player to 5.1 analog out? Also, did you press the AC3/5.1 button of the amplifier? If you did and it's still not working, hindi totoo na 5.1 ready ang ampli mo. Palitan mo na lang ng Sakura AV-387 (Php 3.5K) or if your budget permits, go for branded ones (Php 14K up).

Bro, maybe you can ask for help from DairHard and Ultraman, pdvd members din, they are satisfied owners of Sakura 327. Baka kakambal ito ng 326 mo.

DaiHarD · « **Reply #265 on:** Mar 19, 2004 at 02:15 PM »

Im not so familiar with 326, ang alam ko about this is mas mababang watts nito compare to 327

may seperate volume ba ito for center and surround? what center speaker are you using? Can you pls post a picture of front and back face of your 326?

abadmd · « **Reply #266 on:** Mar 19, 2004 at 09:46 PM »

Daihard, I cant post the picture kasi wala ako digicam. Anyways, I am using pioneer surrond and center speakers. Ok lang. My unit does not have a separate volume control for the surround and center speakers. Nakakaasar. d ko maintindihan ang pinanonood ko. what if I connect the center oout of my dvd to the center and sw in of my amp. May nakapagsabi sa akin na hindi true 5.1 amp ang sakura ko. Meaning, the sw in is acutally another channel for my center.

DaiHarD · « **Reply #267 on:** Mar 20, 2004 at 08:07 AM »

Dumaan me sa raon kahapon, these 326 have 120W+120W at 5 channel lang sya walang sub out ito

Sa center or surround hindi din nila alam pero estimate ko mga 15-30W lang. Isa lang ang master volume nya at malayo ang mga functions nya sa 327 at walang remote. Hindi ko naaudition dahil pasarado na yun store kakahiya naman kung aaudition ko lang.

Pagkakabit mo ba nagtestone ka na ba? Do they have individual sounds? magkasing lakas ba ang bawat isa?

Ilan Watts ba center speaker mo? Ganun ang naging problem ko sa Rongxin 89DV ko walang indivudual volume at hindi ko maintindihan ang pinapanuod ko dahil ang hina ng center(reklamo din nila dito sa bahay hahaha) tsaka kapos na kapos ako sa surround kaya ako nagupgrade to SAKURA 327 hehehe.

Try to check your DVD's setting by pressing the setup button on your remote. Then look for center settings try to tweak there.

Kung wala pa rin nangyari mas maganda

=========
OPTION 1
=========
benta mo na lang at bili ka ng bago. Kung may budget ka get 387, kung low budget lang at di mo kailangan ng tuner get 327

Para may individual volume na.

=========
OPTION 2
=========
Kung ayaw mong ibenta at dumagdag ng gastos mo, bumili ka na lang ng 2 pcs of Y-connector and RCA cable.

Gawin mo na lang ganito

DVD Center out Y1-- 326's center in
Y1--Y2 -- tv's audio right in
--Y2 -- tv's audio left in

Di nga lang ganun kaganda ang quality na makukuha mo

=========
OPTION 3
=========
May active sub ka na ba with satellite? Kung meron pwede mong isaksak ang center in mo dun at yun pioneer center speaker pwede mo ikabit sa satelite out ng active sub mo

Kung wala ka pang active sub with satellite. Im selling my Rongxin 88DV with Satellite. Magagamit mo ito PROMISE... Just pm me here or txt thru my mobile 0917-3768675
