            <title>Pioneer HTP 518 SW (hope i got it right).</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1004698</link>
            <description>1st time poster here, so need some advices from the HT gurus here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was looking arnd in Desa this weekend when i come across the Pioneer&amp;quot;new&amp;quot; HT set (not HTiB), called the HTP 800SW. It consists of a Pioneer VSX818 AVR+ (2 floor standing + centre + 2 back surround) wood speaker set + the Todokori (? HTP RS7) powered amp. Selling at RM2999. I was told that this new set replaces the older Todokori HTP RS7 and RS3 sets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was later at Ikano and dropped into Courts. There I saw the younger brother set (HTS518SW), the main difference is the AVR is the VSX518, selling at 1999. There are not other places (that i can find) that holds these models, not even HN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My main reason to getting an AVR: To connect it to my Xbox360 and PS3 for gaming sound, as well as playing m2ts files from PS3. Will connect the HDMIs directly to the TV for video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 1: Is the wood speakers(the sales ppl all swear its real wood and not compressed woodchips) worth the set? I can get the VSX518 for RM700 at Desa. I know the VSX518 is entry level, but thats my budget. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 2: As the PS3 does the decoding of the TrueHD and DTS-MA, i dont need a TrueHD or DTS-MA AVR? True?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 3: As the PS3 does the decoding of the HS audio as above, could the older 7.1 systems such as the VSX817 deliver sounds from all 8 channels as its being decoded by the PS3?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Question 4: What else would you recommend (AVR + Speakers + Subs) for RM2K? I am not interested in HTiB as i have mine now, it cant accept inputs from PS3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thnx so much for reading, and look forward to yr comments, SIFUs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strange thing is Pioneer;s website dont even hv info on the STR or the new HTS sets....?? &lt;!--emo&amp;:hmm:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='hmm.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;</description>
