Next morning woke up at 1330. As I did not have internet access I could not get creative's telephone number. I called up hardware place asking for Creative's number, he told me to call the Slix distributor C20City. I called C20city told them my problems and they told me to call Creative.
Called Creative and talked to one of the engineer. I told him my problems and he suspected the card might be faulty and needed to be replaced so he told us to go down for a chat. When we were told we have to put our system there for a few days for checking, my uncle was infruiated and started reasoning with the engineer. He told him that he had to took a day off to buy the system and the card is not working after being bought not even 24 hours and had to leave the system there for a few days.
Took a cab down to Creative. Told the technical support our problems. The tech support called the engineer we spoke to on the phone to meet us. They tested our system with their speakers 2.1, 4.1,6.1 all was working fine. Then I told them to hook up RCA cables. This time no sound came out. Creative guys were surprised. Their solutions is ask my Uncle to get computer speakers, as home theatre speakers might not be compatible.
Took a cab down to Plaza Singapura to sign up Maxonline. He chose the Wireless 1500 Maxonline plan. They would be coming down this wednesday to setup the network.
Had to pay:
1) $99 for the cable modem
2) $52.50 for setup costs
3) $58.80 for the first month subscription
Then we headed down to "Hardware Place" again to get our speakers. My Uncle chose the Harman Kardon Sound sticks. The design is damn CHIO, so differnet from traditional cubic sound systems. The subwoofer is transparent shaped like a hemisphere. The price was $270, but paid $250.
Went home setup the speakers, finally the basic setup is done , we just had to wait the network setup this Wednesday
Would be posting a gallery of his system soon
Don't drool
