1. sino po ba gumagamit dito ng Monster THX speaker cables? alin po ba ang positive and negative? di po kasi colored and halos parehas lang yung wires except may marking yung isang half.

You wasted a lot of money on hype.
Anyway, either leads is fine to use. The mark was just there so you'd be able to distinguish which is which. Normally, I use the marked one for the negative.

2. kailangan po ba talaga ng separate subwoofer power center? di ba pwede isama na lang i-plug ito sa power surge protector?

Malakas kasi power draw nito esp at high bassy volumes. It's much safer na naka-separate sya ng power block.

3. after connecting all speakers.......walang sound na lumalabas, sa setting ba to ng AVR o tama yung sinasabi nung mamang tindero na kailangan ko ng optical digital audio cable from the source to the AVR?

to test, connect an antenna to the FM screw. Set function to tuner. You should be able to hear something. Meron din yang test speaker function.

eto po ang aking set-up but not yet operational

Sony Bravia LCD HDTV “40
Sony CD/DVD Player
Harman/Kardon AVR 146
Polkaudio RM6750

Cables:
Monster HDMI Advanced High Speed 2m
MonsterBass 300 Subwoofer Interconnect 1.83m
Monster Standard THX Speaker Cables

Monster THX Digital Fiber Optic (?).........or anything else I need?

thanks in advance!!

How did you connect the Sony dvd player to the AVR?
Did you set the AVR to DVD function?
Have you checked if it's on Mute?


Optical cables are best but no need to buy Monster. It's just a glass cable. I used all sorts of optical and analog cables and i have not heard a difference with monsters except for the monstrous price. hehe.

Remember that Optical is a digital data, it's a binary sequence of 0's and 1's. So as long as it gets transferred and delivers sounds with no jitter, it's fine.
