just wondering if anyone of forumers can help me as i'm looking for a shop that sells ready made paper bag size A3/A4..

[WTA] Packaging suppllies

caprina — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 11:37:52 +0800

hi all..

i think there are lots of forumers here selling things online and will send the item using courier/ normal post service.. my questions are:

1. where do you guys buy your packaging supplies such as boxes? so far i only buy from a shop at endah parade.. using corrugated material.. if any of you could suggest any other shop selling box (not like present/ gift box made from soft material).. should be loose item.. dont want to buy in bulk due to limited storage area..

2. where do you buy the bubble wrap.. so far the cheapest i know is RM3 per meter.. anyone know cheaper place?

3. others maybe like tissue paper (not the one used in toilet of course.. normally used to wrap gift, shoes, etc..), sellotape, others...

thanks in advance.. appreciate your feedback.. hopefully you can suggest the exact location of the shop as well..

[WTA] HD sound not detected

caprina — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:02:40 +0800

Dear Sifus,

I connect my PS3 to my Yamaha RX-V663 using non branded hdmi cable. I noticed that when I play the transformers the movie BD the dolby true HD indicator at my receiver did not appear on the receiver's screen. is it because of the cable did not support hdmi 1.3? do i need hdmi cable version 1.3 to be able to hear dolby true HD sound?

TQ

[WTA] ASTRO reception

caprina — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:56:24 +0800

hi all..

dont know where to ask actually.. but if any of you have the solution for my problem.. the story goes like this.. recently renovate my house.. a week after renovation complete i register with astro.. however when the installer came he notice that the signal is very weak.. 40+ only.. some channel cannot receive such as 703, 707, 103, 102.. he blame the contractor for poor wiring.. easy excuse.. and i prefer not to re HACK the wall to diagnose the problem.

my question:

1. is it because of the weak signal i can only get selected channel?

2. will the signal amplifiersignal amplifier rectify the problem?

* just notice the new astro decoder dont have the optical audio out compared to the old decoder, must use the rca cable.

thank you

hi all sifus..

just connect my home theater.. using marantz receiver to connect to my jamo 5.0 speakers.. the question is that there is no sound came out from the rear speaker.. don't know if it is because of the wiring problem or not haven't check about it.. let say if i connect the wire correctly.. and if i play any DVD movie (downloaded from internet).. or maybe some thx clip.. the rear speaker should produce some sound right?

Budget ht System

caprina — Thu, 15 Jun 2006 16:53:09 +0800

Hi,

I plan to buy a home theater system but the problem is I have a small budget to start with (have no experience it ht.. just admire the sound). I will move to my new house this year and planning to have a dedicated room for my home theater. My budget is around RM3k and a friend says that with the budget he recommend me not to buy the HTIB and to start buying a basic component such as the front speakers and a receiver. and from time to time when I have xtra money I can start buying other components(maybe subwoofer or etc). I watch TV and DVD a lot. I want to have a second opinion.

thank you.
