xetrov,
care to share which shop because I've looked all over raon and to no avail can't find the Sakura AV-377.

Talaga, I've checked 6 stores and they all have this model, the last store gave it to me for 3k kaya dun ko na kinuha. There is another model with AC3 5.1 din and DTS [daw] wala lang FM receiver for 2.6K silver sya forgot the model.

so this sakura amps will receive DD/DTS sound from DD/DTS encoded DVDs already if I am going to use a DVD player with built in DD/DTS decoders?

Thanks

How about speakers? Is it part of the 3k you shelled out?

Do these amps (377 and 388) have digital OR 5.1 inputs?

The 377 has AC3 5.1 inputs, no optical and coax.

stac · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 11, 2003 at 01:53 AM »

went to raon yesterday and did'nt found any MAAV amps but there are several shops that sells the Sakura AV-377 kaso ayaw ibigay ng 3k, puro 3.5k at pinakamura na yung sa Paul Vincent Electronics Sales (along G. Puyat St.) going for Php3,325 (discounted from 3.5k, look for Ria). BTW the lady also recommends the AV-5020/AV-5022 (unlike the 377, these amps are 500W and don't sport FM/AM tuners) for 3.28k from 3.45k

The older model Sakura AV1600 has DSP controls that don't work. I dunno lang if the newer ones do.

Has anyone bought the sakura av 388? Please give your reviews.

mojako · « **Reply #49 on:** Mar 03, 2003 at 02:08 AM »

AV-377 meron ako. Malakas siya (500w according to the manual). Powering my Diamond center, diamond 8.1 fronts and aiwa bookshelf rears. Using the built in DTS/DD 5.1 decoder of my dvd player, ok na ok sya. Surround on a budget. Separate volume controls for the front channel, center, and rear right, rear left channel. May sub out sya, pero walang sub volume (yun yung hindi ok sa kanya).

mojako,
panalo ba yung pair ng AV-377 and diamond 8.1? balak ko kasing bumili ng diamond 8.1 (pag may pera na).

mojako · « **Reply #53 on:** Mar 04, 2003 at 09:59 PM »

torque,
Panalong panalo! basta i pa tweak mo yung 8.1 kina Nirv, para gumanda pa yung quality nung speakers. Medyo muddy kasi eh, pag pina tweak mo, clarity and detail will increase noticeably.

mojako · « **Reply #54 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 03:54 AM »

I have a Sakura AV-377, a sub is plugged in through the sub out, and this is my concern:
When i turn the volume up or down the volume of the sub does not go up or down. Stagnant yung volume ng sub. Talaga bang ganito yung sakura? wala rin syang sub volume sa controller or sa face ng amp. Any comments sakura users there?

greatbop · « **Reply #55 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 05:27 AM »

does your subwoofer have a crossover built in??

i'm thinking na baka yun ang problem mo.

greatbop · « **Reply #56 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 06:06 AM »

wait a sec. your sakura's just 'amplifier?'

how do you have your sakura amp hooked up? naka kabit ba yun sa pre amplifer?

Or maybe what that sakura is. is integrated amp?

mojako · « **Reply #57 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 06:43 AM »

not sure whether integrated tong sakura. Basta it's hooked up like this

DVD player (6 ch rca-analog out) --> Sakura Amp --> 6 speakers (including sub)

mdsaint3 · « **Reply #58 on:** Mar 06, 2003 at 07:22 AM »

mojakos sub is custom built by nirv. dont know the specs of the sub. and the controls at the back though...

what i suggested was for him to pass the sub through the speaker output of his amp and connect his speakers to the sub but he said his sub does not have a high level input output.. maybe mel can give him better advice..

mojako,
wala talagang volume control for sub ang Sakura AV-377. Yung mga sub na may built-in volume control ang ideal na gamitin sa AV-377, like the sub of 2.1/5.1 computer speakers or Xenon/Konzert 2.1 sub/sattelite speaker. Ang problema mahina lang ang output ng mga ganitong subs. Ang gamit kong sub for my sakura is the sub of my 2.1 cambridge soundworks speaker. May bass control yung sub, pag nag-adjust ako ng bass level kasama na rin yung volume.
