Need help in buying a Home Theater

[venkat_9099]

Hi,

I have done research some 3-4 months ago for a home theater and decided to buy Onkyo 3300 and Top Ten electronics in Vashi, Navi Mumbai quoted me 24k. But I could not buy due to some personal reasons.

I want to buy now and want to know are there any new models launched and what are their prices and is the price of 3300 came down in these months? My budget is upto 30k. I basically want to hook it up with my Tata Sky HD to enjoy sound in 5.1.

Thanks in advance.

Onkyo 3400 is out there.. almost same like 3300 but has some additional features like extra HDMI input.. check out Onkyo's website for the exact and complete specs.. 3400 is around 24-25K.. within your budget.. add couple of Ks for installation n all..

Cheers..!!

Venkat.. before buying make sure that Tata Sky is providing 5.1 Audio on HD channels.. I have DishTV and none of channels give me 5.1 audio.. i tried it with my Yamaha AVR.. most dealers have cable connections at their showroom.. ask them to connect Onkyo to Set Top box and play HD channels.. You can ask forum members to check which channel has 5.1 .. There are very limited number of channels which will give u 5.1 audio though in future u'll get lot of but as of now limited channels are there.. so spending 25K just to watch couple of channel does not make any sense.. If you are into movies then definitely Onkyo is gud at this price range..

Cheers..!!!!

Sagar, Thanks for your concerns. I am aware that only the Asli HD channels on Tata Sky + HD provide audio in 5.1 and am ready to spend money as most of the time I watch only these channels either live of recorded.

Onkyo also has the HT-S5405 model (HTiB) which has pre-out for subwoofer, and USB connectivity in the front of the AVR for listening to your audio files. This is beneficial if you need to upgrade your subwoofers later on.

Congrats Venkat... :clapping: Enjoy..!!!!

Thank you. I had to spend almost two hours installing and configuring. First I connected my Tata sky hd via htb but it did not give dolby for hd channels even though I had coaxial cable connected. Now hdmi cable is direct to tv from stb and coaxial cable to htb for sound. But in this setup I cannot see osd

Hi,

Don't they(Person from Onkyo) come, install and give a demo? Or do we have to do all by ourselves ! ! !

Thanks

Try using HDMI connection only.. HDMI from STB to AVR and then HDMI from AVR to TV.. and configure your stb for Dolby sound thru HDMI...

Read in another thread that Tata sky stopped giving dolby output via hdmi as many customers complained that their tvs could not decode dolby. Instead of asking them to change it in settings Tata sky stopped sending dolby via hdmi in their latest software update.
