I think yung SW+ is if you want to use your Sub even with speakers set to Large...

Normally kasi sa AVR when you set your speakers to Large, walang pupuntang LFE sa sub.. by enabling the SW+ gagana pa din sub mo even with Large settings of speakers. When normal, gagana ang Sub mo only if your speaker setting is set to small..

Ok I just confirmed this last night. Setting the Fronts to Large when listening to Music ok siya even when turning the SubWoofer OFF.

Sa Movie ok nakaON ang subwoofer etc.

Ok thanks ulit I understand now ehehehe

Yes sir, thanks

Gawa ako sa HT Gallery ng thread and ask opinions on everyone on how to position my Surrounds hehe
Ambaduy kasi ng pagkakalagay for now dahil sa formation ng living room (1BD 30sqm condo unit).

mga sir question lang po since am new to this thing (ht stuff)

am planning to build a 5.1 setup problem is limited budget lang so plano ko is hinay-hinay lang muna. mix and match nalang siguro muna ng speakers. now my question is about the nominal impedance. i tried reading stuff about these pero medjo nalilito ako eh..hehe! so my plan as of now is ganito:

avr (no particular brand/model yet pero eyeing on yamaha rxv371, rxv471 or rxv473)
diamond 10.5 fs
diamond 10cs
diamond 10 dfs surrounds
sub gx 10? (still looking for other options)

pero since limited budget lang plano muna mag 3.1 setup and will use a spare sony speakers that i have for surrounds. now my problem is wharfes has a nominal impedance of 6ohms and yung surrounds available ko is 16ohms. is it ok to match these speakers? can someone shed light regarding this stuff..yung sobrang simple lang sana..hahaha! salamat po!

since your using avr.pwede pagsabayin yan.most avr support different ohms combi.

It's from a sony htib eh..5.1 rin pero diff ohm combi..my fronts has a 6-ohm impedance then center and surrounds has 16 ohms..plus passive sub..

question ulit

Gaano kaimportante ang Automatic Voltage Regulators and/or UPS sa AVReceiver?
Ano mga advantages? Lately kasi parang nagoAuto Standby itong si Receiver kahit gawin ko na yung mga standard procedures e.g. turn it off, take all the speaker wires off etc.

For some reason, di ko nanaman maGoogle/Bing hehe.

Thanks.

ako hindi ako gumagamit ng avr sa receiver ko ever since. even when i had my very first receiver 10 years ago. depende ata sa daloy ng kuryente sa area niyo yan.

Kelangan mo AVR for that bro. In my area nung wala akong AVR nag auauto standby din receiver ko.. after ikabit ko sa AVR di na ulit nangyari... Yung mga di nakakabit sa AVR ko like modem and router, minsan basta na lang mag rereboot tapos i hear clicking sa AVR ko meaning biglang nag fluctuate kuryente or bumababa sobra voltage...Kita nang ibang members kung gaano kababa kuryente sa amin nung nag EB.. minsan less than 200V

anlalaki ba naman ng gears mo eh.yung kuryente ng subdivision nyo sayo na lang napunta lahat

instead avr gumamit na lang kayo ng line conditioner

If you tweak it properly and don't mind the coloration an external EQ gives sa sound, then it can make your system sound better.

Thanks. Got me a UPS, but... it went worse.

So baka di sa fluctuation ang problem. We'll be sending it to the service center.

Baka yun UPS mo is limited sa pag provide ng power supply only. Walang regulation ng voltage. Try mo muna servo motor na avr.

Help naman! Pano ba babaan yung level ng bass kasi nasa condo kami at ang hirap manuod ng movies kasi nagshashake daw yung mga gamit ng kapitbahay namin. Meron yung sa setting sa onkyo na may + or - dB, yun ba yung aayusin ko?

You can lower the gain knob at the back of your sub and lower the Sub level at the receiver it self..

Well meron o walang UPS full stand by mode na nangyari after or bago matapos movie na pinapanuod ko

Ayaw na magON sooo I think service center or palitan na hehehe.

[dcw]aaron · « **Reply #979 on:** Nov 05, 2012 at 10:29 PM »

^siguro try mo muna to use a voltage regulator and/or try mo saksak sa lugar na alam mo stable ang daloy ng kuryente..

Hindi kaya amp clipping na (amp protect)?

Walang knob sa likod. Passive kasi siya, onkyo 3400 kasi gamit namin

My Vintage Akai Integrated Amp says in its back:
A,B (4 to16 ohms)
A+B (8 to16 ohms)

Does this mean that i can only hook up 8-16 ohms speakers if I use A and B at the same time, and if i use either A or B the speakers must not be below 8 ohms?

What will happen if i use both A and B with a 6 ohms speaker on B? Thanks

jerix · « **Reply #985 on:** Dec 15, 2012 at 07:15 AM »

Thanks Bro defcon3 - actually I am a bit confused about the actual capability of the Akai. Its 35W per channel but it is driving my 200W speakers hooked in speaker A with ease. I asked the question because i just changed the 100W 8 ohms of my speaker B with an 80w 6.5 ohms speaker. Can you comment on this please...thanks

Question... Is the yamaha rxv 673 rated at 90 w per channel good enough to power kef r500 floor standers (30 to 150 watts)?

I tried this setup. Ok naman sa pandinig ko, but sabi sa akin ng supplier, di daw labas full potential ng r500 because 90w s peak, not rms.

much better na integrated or power amp ang gamitin mo for the kef kesa sa AVR. mas gaganda ang tunog nyang speaker mo at mailalabas nya full potential compare sa AVR/Receiver lang gamit mo.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how does an integrated or power amp work? Is it supposed to replace or complement a reeceiver?

Bro Gav if your receiver has multi channel pre-outs, you could connect that to the power amp to feed your speakers more power. This bypasses the amplifier section of your receiver... Magiging pre amp na lang yung receiver mo...

Examples of power amps are the Emotiva XPA-series, NAD T-977, etc...
