it's possible that some players are not that 100% compatible when playing on cheong dvds or dvds that is not mastered to the standard specifications. commercially available pressed dvds are strictly compliant to the standards while some other dvds are quite loose and lax in the authoring/mastering, so depending on how forgiving the player is, some dvds play nicely on some players while another simply refuse to play and spit out the disc.

I got a philips HTS8140. Reason is because its neat and nice looking. My living room isn't that big so i think sound wise, it provide just the right power required. No problem with playing cheong dvd though.

Hi All,

Initially I was about to purchase the Philips HTS6120 at the price of $799/- but at Gain City the HTS8141 was on special offer at S$999/- with $200 cash voucher from Philips so I bought the HTS8141. The sound was excellent more than enough for my living room and without those messy wires around.

Just one thing that the sound from HTS8141 DVD player was not as good and loud as compare to my Panasonic DVD-Ram Recorder. Other than that everything is fine.

Hi Brothers,

I need some advise on setting up the Philips HTS8141:

I have setup in this following manner and wonder is there any better way to set it up for better picture and sound:

I have the following equipments:

- HTS8141 Soundbar System

- JVC 37" HD Ready TV (2007 model) with only 1 HDMI input

- Cable Box - Hubstation HD

- Panasonic DVD-Ram Recorder

The Setup:

HTS8141 - connect hdmi cable to JVC TV, connect audio-in (red & white cable) to JVC TV audio-out

Starhub Cable Box - connect Component cable and composite cable to JVC TV

Panasonic DVD recorder - connect component cable to JVC TV

Note: the HDMI cable provided is 1.3 and I wonder my 3 yrs old TV is suitable to use 1.3 or to use the 1.1 cable? Should I connect the HDMI from the hubstation to TV or soundbar to TV; which is better?

Any advise is very much appreciated, and thanking you in advance.

Regards from Andy.

I got HTS5120 during the last Philips staff sales... Using it at my MBR where there is not much space... Of course soundbar cannot compare with a full 5.1 but it is neat and produce acceptable quality... HTS5120 come with wireless subwoofer...

How much was your soundbar?

How much was your soundbar?

Brought at $300+...

I recently juz received my HTS5120, can I check if anyone got the problem of the disc tray auto close when u press open...

I bought a HTS6120 from Courts at the start of the year for $849. Seldom used. But like all forumers say, it looks neater without all the wiring. Anyway, if we stay in HDB flats, how loud can you turn on? Unless you got a personal entertainment room just for listening to music.

Any louder the soundbar will emit noise. I have made extensive postings on the inefficiencies of a soundbar.

Look it up.

cheers
