ask-avk

Real buyer questions on ask-avk, answered in plain terms.

Why is dialogue so hard to hear in movies, and how do I fix it?

Usually it is a settings or placement problem, not a hardware one, so nothing to buy yet.

Setup & troubleshooting
How do I choose an AV receiver for my room?

Room first, speakers second, sources last. Work backwards from the sofa, not forwards from the spec sheet, and the right receiver usually turns out to be one step below the one tempting you.

AVR & amplification
The auto-calibration says my subwoofer isn't detected (or the sub went silent after calibration). What's wrong?

Settings, not hardware, nine times out of ten. Do not carry the sub anywhere yet.

AVR problems
Do you price match if I find it cheaper elsewhere?

Share a valid quote from an authorised dealer and we will do our best. That is the whole policy, and the two words that matter in it are "valid" and "authorised".

Budget & value
Can I claim GST input credit on home cinema and hi-fi equipment?

If you are GST-registered and buying for business use, yes, generally. AV gear carries 18% GST, and that portion of the price is tax a registered buyer may claim back as input credit.

GST input credit
What questions should I ask before buying expensive AV gear online in India?

Five questions, asked in writing before money moves. A seller who answers all five without blinking is the kind you want; a seller who changes the subject has answered you too.
