^ well i guess you gotta do the High Level setup, then.. meron bang internal cross over yung sub? and does it take speaker wires for connection?

Ianbond · « **Reply #61 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 03:03 PM »

Looks like pass-through yung LFE connection ng Sakura.

mojako · « **Reply #62 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 11:58 PM »

wala high level connection yung sub eh. I'll try to find another workaround.

BTW - where are sakura amps available? only in raon?? thanks

qball · « **Reply #64 on:** Mar 08, 2003 at 03:16 PM »

I saw a Sakura AV-98 sa raon, and according doon sa lalakeng nagbabantay may coax input daw ito and it sells for P7,500, di ko alam kung may bawas pa.

mojako- I think you just have to manually adjust the sub's volume to suit your taste then.

Mel,
o nga eh, yung mom ko kasi pag nag papatugtog ng audio cd's nya, bumabayo yung bass. heheh

does anybody know if sakura av receivers are available at raon, pls indicate store and prices that you've found.

any idea how much it would cost for daichi 5.1 speaker set, and the cheapest sub in raon.

Pare ull need a DVD player with built in DD and DTS decoder then connect the 5.1 out of the DVD player to the 5.1 in of the Sakura Amp.

I assum that t5he Sakura has no DD and DTS since sabi mo eh wala syang digital out

Jason_10 · « **Reply #71 on:** May 02, 2003 at 05:07 PM »

ive a pioneer dv-535k, with dolby digital and dts. hmmm... i think i saw a dts, dolby 5.1 at the sakura receiver, i guess i didnt see the digital out at the back of the unit. thanks. that answered one of my queries.

now another re: the speakers...i saw this brand of speakers, AUDIOFILE, kinda looks like the small bose speakers. is that ok na? btw what type of speakers do i need and how many? the subs? what brand is ok? what size/specs? sorry for my ignorance...just a newbie here who's on a budget, so i guess this will be a DIY project. need more help guys!

mojako · « **Reply #72 on:** May 02, 2003 at 05:15 PM »

actually, pwede mo gamitin yan sakura na yan, pero as a 5.1 amp lang (im using one). You may use the built in DD 5.1 / DTS decoder of your DVD player. Just make sure na may sub out yung sakura amp na yan.

Kung gusto mong custom made speakers, contact mo si Nirvblakr. Ok na ok yung custom speakers niya

johndoe · « **Reply #73 on:** May 02, 2003 at 06:47 PM »

how much ung sakura amp?im planning to buy one for bass shakers....

Jason_10 · « **Reply #74 on:** May 02, 2003 at 07:08 PM »

mojako,

yup may sub out ako na nakita. howz the performance of the sakura amp? so how does it work? ill connect the digital out of my dvd player to the digital input of the amp to achieve the 5.1 sound? siguro i'll have the sub and center speaker customized. pero yung small speakers, baka ill get the audiofile or daichi brands, asl long as they're small and may speaker stand. btw, may DSP yung sakura ryt?

johndoe,

the sakura receiver goes for more or less 5k.

what i am dissapointed about is the salesperson in raon was not very knowledgable of what she sells,that's why i got a bit confused. usually daw kse their customers go their with a list of what they need.

mojako · « **Reply #78 on:** May 04, 2003 at 10:01 PM »

jason,
ok naman tong sakura amp na to. Wala akong masabi, tipid setup talaga. Malakas pa. Naka diamond 8.1, center ako, kayang kaya nya movies and audio. Using 5.1 analog connectors from dvd to amp (wala kasing digital connection yung sakura eh). Only drawback is, hindi kasama sa volume yung sub, you have to change the volume manually. With regards to DSP, walang kwenta yung dsp nito, pero may Prologic 2 ata to.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #79 on:** May 05, 2003 at 07:16 AM »

mojako,

thanks for the info. pero i think i saw a DTS logo on the sakura amp. so may digital input na kaya yon? i forgot the exact model kse. what about the DSP? panong wlang kwenta? i myt get the amp dis week after i get my allowance and some savings...

I haven't heard the Sakura but at Php5k for 5 channels or PhP1k/channel, I guess the question to ask is this: are you saving ~PhP10k by not buying an entry level HT receiver like Onkyo or are you risking/wasting your PhP5k.

Just a thought...

Yes, DTS logo: DTS ready, walang digital in ang Sakura amps, only 5.1 channel analog input. So ang magdedecode ng DD and DTS is yung DVD player.
DSP is no use kasi pag ang input mo is 5.1, DSPs are disabled and if you use the DSP with stereo sources, the DSP sound does not creates "DSP" ambience, nagbago lang yung sound and medyo active yung sound sa rear/surround pero hindi talaga matatawag na DSP yun.

Some sakura does have Prologic 1 not 2.

I used to own Sakura amps, I have three models, but my adviced is get a better receiver, you can buy secondhand decent receiver for just 10K. If you have any question regarding Sakura amps, you may chat me at YM: angl_gnzls is my username.

Quality os sound? Can be subjective. Quality of the unit? so, so.
Thanks.

Why not share your experience w/ Sakura on the board instead of chat? Judging by the number of posts, this thread has generated A LOT OF interest on Sakura and you may be doing many PinoyDVDers a favor by sharing what you know...

...unless of course Sakura sponsors PinoyDVD. mods, do they?

Philander · « **Reply #83 on:** May 05, 2003 at 04:05 PM »

No problem naman, ang dami ko na kasing remarks regarding SAKURA. Medyo umuulit lang. I offered chat para mas madaling makipag communicate then mas straight to the point, kasi baka may masagasaan ako when i put my reviews here.

hi philander.can you post your ym id again? tried adding you.. but username does not exist. thanks .. your using yahoo right?

oooops. mali nga. its angl_gnzls

mojako · « **Reply #86 on:** May 06, 2003 at 12:30 AM »

Kung sound quality lang, ok na ok tong sakura. Perfect for movies, hindi na sayang yung 2.5k ko (2nd hand ko to nabili eh). Wala na nga akong balak bumili ng receiver eh, baket pa? I've heard mdsaint's onkyo + wharfdale diamond setup, hindi nagkakalayo yung SQ pag dating sa movies. Pero sa audio, hindi ko masabi, i don't have a good cd player to say so.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #87 on:** May 08, 2003 at 12:15 PM »

hi guys!

i already bought the sakura av-377 a/v receiver and a pair of audiofile surround cube speakers for the rear. (im using a pair of HUG speakers temporarily in front) the sound was ok, mejo bitin lang coz la pa subs and center speaker.

anyway my prob is my pio DVD- 535k doesnt have an analog out. what brand of DVD's that have a surround output to pair with my amp?

i also need a powered sub to connect the SW out from the amp. what good sub can i buy for less than 5k?

mojako · « **Reply #88 on:** May 08, 2003 at 09:55 PM »

The nextbase dvd player has 6 analog outs. Madami pa actually. Sub for less than 5k? madami sa assorted buy and sell section.

Jason_10 · « **Reply #89 on:** May 09, 2003 at 02:28 AM »

mojako,

thanks! bad vibes naman yung pioneer ko, walang surround analog out.

btw i just read the nextbase dvd thread, mukhang ok naman so i guess ive to get a nb unit soon. again thanks!
