Thanks you guys for superb links...
Especially...rudick...thanks dude...

Going thru those sites...will tell ya soon....
And also...just tell me why av reciever is important... Or is it not?

AV Receivers are not necessary, but they do become so if you have many devices like DVD Player, Game Console, HiFi system etc and you want to connect them all to a single Video output device or want to inc. their power. What an AV receiver basically does is to take input from various devices like DVD player etc and provide you with multiple out put options like if you connect ur PS3 to a HDMI capable AV receiver then you'll have loads of out out options for both, that is:
Video: Component, HDMI, S-Video, Composite
Audio: RCA,Coaxial ,Optical etc

BUT the glaring issue is that these things don't come cheap. An AV receiver with features mentioned above come for a price even greater than a PS3 so its better to look other way if you don't have that much money.

Thanks again...
I saw your links yesterday...
They were basic stuff...really helped me out. .but more info on those things or more links regarding it will be nice...or is there any international forum regarding audio video stuff....
Another thing is , is there any rule regarding the distance of speaker from the audience? Or simply just the angle you mentioned in those figure?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Yeah like Digit runs this forum so do many dedicated AV mags run theirs. Below is the link for the forum of one of the best AV magazines:
*whathifi.com/forums/
*www.hifivision.com/forum/ (Their Indian Counterparts, Good One)
Alternatively you can check these sites too:

Thanks rudick ..
I have answered in your PS3 thread... Check it out

Okay. (cracks knuckles).

1. The Z5500 has optical input and the PS3 has optical output. So that takes care of that.
2. The speaker wires are clamp on type. So you can buy any length of wire that you require (of course, longer means less audio fidelity) or any quality of audio wire and plug them in.
3. The sub is not just boom-boom. It does feel that way if the room is empty so if you have stuff in that room, its gonna be good.
4. For the Logitech Z4500 (or something like that), the rear speakers are wireless, though they get powered through a standard electric point. They cost a bomb though.
5. The Z5500 can connect upto 6 inputs at a time (4 is more realistic though). Very convenient. Also has a headphone port for those times when you need it.
6. The speaker system excels at movies. I've honestly had complements like "this sound is better than at inox" more than once. Gaming I don't do much but if you remember in NFS most wanted, when you hit a petrol pump, that explosion shatters the glass. We had to move the cupboard holding all the glassware to another room cause we couldn't watch a movie without the whole thing rattling (well I like to turn it up sometimes!)
7. I hear the price has come down to 14-18k.

Anything else?

 

[Plasma_Snake]

Thank you Goobimama! Yeah the price is now down to Rs.18,150/- only

 

[goobimama]

My friend tells me that Indiatimes shopping has it down to 14k or so... someone might want to hit that and see...

Although, I'm feeling insanely jealous of you guys. When I bought it, it cost me 27k. Of course, I was the 13th person in the country to have it, but still, it hurts.

THANK YOU so much my friend...

2.)if i need to extend the wires.. wht should i do.. like anyspecific quality wire ??

3.)you also said if i am gona increase the length. then less fidelity ... again


4.)can u posty a pic of ur setup ??

5.) are the speakers ( the satelite ) rotatable and adjustable ... i mean all axis ??

6.) where can i find a suitable Z 5500 compatible speaker stands... with adjustable height...



again thanks goobi... and also rudick...

1. Array just go to any audio shop (where they fit audio into cars and such) and ask for wire. It costs like 20 bucks a metre for good quality wire. Btw, the rear speakers come with 25 foot long wire, and was enough for my setup.
2. Extend the wire? Buy new wire!
3. Well you have easily have a very long wire, but don't expect to get good fidelity with wires as long as 50 metres and such. That is just crazy.
4. Um....
5. They are not height adjustable. Only left-right. If you remove the speaker stand, which you can, you CANNOT PUT IT BACK. So you better have a plan before removing the stand.
6. No idea. The speaker stand comes with two holes, so I've wall mounted the rear two and Center with the front left-right standing on the table.

thanks again for the reply..

any pic of ur setup would be very hel[pfull...

 

[goobimama]

Here's the picture of the setup. Ignore the idiot watching the Planet Earth video. *img.skitch.com/20080607-g1n8tb4htwbjur3wnh4s4n7a3y.jpg

 

[naveen_reloaded]

thnkas...

the rear speaker are placed too back... i think that will do the distance for me... i think soo...

goobi... should it be perfectly placed to get good sound like at ear level.. all those stuf..

coz it seems u havent setup that way..

how is the expierrience with the current setup...??

 

[goobimama]

While I have my reasons for the current setup, you can see that the speaker wire is long enough to reach all kinds of places.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

yes i see....

ok i saw a video depicting the satellites being placed on a sand... does satellites have a hole or socket underneath it

 

[goobimama]

Yeah. The satellites have a small little stand, like two feet with holes in them.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

indiatimes rate are very high... i mean they rerport that this system cost 26k... when i find its 19k in itdepot...
