[gp_freak]

Hi machos,
I'm also looking for YHT-299 and this deal indeed seems to be a good one. Please could you let know whether this deal is in Bangalore or Chennai Reliance Digital?

Thanks gp_freak and machos for the info,

I finally bought YHT-299 from Reliance Digital. :yahoo: I opted out DVD player as I already have one and got Rs.1500 off plus got a Reliance Gift card worth of Rs.1500 valid for 6 months.

I have ordered a set of speaker wall mounts from Tono systems. Will have to wait for it to mount the surround speakers.

One quick question though: Is there any preferred height at which to mount the speakers on the wall to get optimal perf?

Thanks to all the folks on this forum, got a lot of info from here.

The rear speakers should be around 2 ft on top from the ear level. The angle should be in 90-110. The Center speaker should be straight inline and should be at ear level. Fronts apart from each other around 6-10 ft and angled towards the listening position.

This is what I have read on many forums and followed at my home using YHT 299 and I am satisfied with the results.

hello guys, Im new this forum. After reviewing your reviews ( of course some cons too) I finally bought 299, Sony BDP. Waiting for installation, to be done tomorrow. Any points to be noted and informed tech before he starts installation, please let me know Thanks in advance .

@neonwheels, which model wall mounts you bought, is it HT55?

@satyasekhar. I also brought YHT-299 online. Are you installing your self or taking help of service center? If service center can you please share me the price and contact details.

 

[satyasekhar]

@Amarnath: I bought from Reliance Digital but their guys just show whether it is working or not, not sure technically how much perfect they are. So I've installed ( wallmounted )and believe me it is damn good.

I bought mounts from Amazon. The company name is Tanotis and the mounts are pretty good.

@kudla, I brought it online from Amazon.in as I was having gift card. I guess Reliance digital is providing good discount.

RD is quoting me 33K for YHT-299. Is this good price?

Also, what is the power requirement in terms of wattage for this YHT-299(AVR + Speakers)?

As, I am on a 50" plasma TV which consumes approx. 400 watts and our Inverter backup is of 1KW, am worried whether it can support the TV + HT combo.

Please advise.

 

[satyasekhar]

@neoonwheels Can I have the model number or link please, I see couple of models

Re: YHT-299 in B'lore?

@Kudla, I bough it for 31K which is a good deal. They quoted me 34, and I dint take DVD player so got 1500 discount and 5% extra discount comes to 31. Try to bargain as much as you can with RD,

Usually, the height would be 6 feet from the floor for the surround/satellite speakers.
