I have watched a lot of video's on this topic and I would like to say thank you for making this exact instructional video so simplistic. I am sure you could have gone into a lot more technical detail, as observed by your link comments, but I think what a lot of people forget in these instructional video's are the pure basics that you need to provide. Many times now I have watched a video from others gone away thinking I knew what was required and then found I was tripped up by a very basic requirement that was overlooked in the video due to the focus on more complex topics!.
You prolly dont care but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any help you can give me.
@Tadeo Kristopher Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
So if i wanna hook up a bunch of speakers to my smart tv, i can just run the hdmi to the avr for audio and in turn connect all the speakers to the avr, video will just stay on the tv? Or if it does send video thru hdmi as well, could I just run it back to my tv? So that it would be both video in and video out
Wow!! What a great knowledge. I'm a novice in UK and I've had no prior clue about a receiver to be honest. I want to set up a basic home theatre and naively the first thing I've bought is a subwoofer (bad luck meant it came faulty and it couldn't even get switched on - waiting to have it returned), I've thought I would just connect the sub directly to tv, and that would be it. But then I started hearing the name "AV RECEIVER " and started to panic because the 12inch sub has literally dried my pocket out. Based on your review I've got at least a rudimentary idea of where this is going. A bit expensive though but I'm not going to look back. Thank you brother, God bless you
Thank you so much for watching! It's these kinds of comments that keep us going. We're glad this video helped and we wish you luck on your Home Theater journey! We also recently released a video comparing a lot of different AV receivers to help people make the right decision as they're looking for a receiver. Thanks again!! 😀
I have the Harman Kardin 235 it does not have HDMI. But I have a pioneer that does can I run it through the pioneer and use RV jacks to hook it to the Harman Kardin? I can’t figure out how to hook up my amp sub woofer to the pioneer that’s why attempting to use just the Harman Kardin
Thanks for watching! The best way to do this would be to try using multi-channel pre-outs on the Harmon Kardon (if available) into the Multi-Channel Inputs on the Pioneer (again if it has those ports). Short of that, it can be hard to setup multiple receivers to work together unfortunately. Hope this helps though!
I have a an old AVR and HD TV .Thanks to your review of the Sony X900H, I soon will be owning a 4K TV. I have a Blu-Ray player, a HD cable box, a PC and a HD Fire TV streamer all connected to the AVR. One question I have is is it best connect my old AVR to the new 4K TV and let the TV upscale to 4K, or buy a new 4K AVR and let the 4K AVR upscale first and then connect it to the 4K TV. Or since higher end TV's allow each HDMI input to have there own customizable settings, is it best to connect everything to the TV and then use the HDMI eARC on the TV to send the audio back to the AVR. Thankyou for any advice you can give.
Thanks again for watching and for all of the support! :) The 4K upscaling inside of the X900H is really good thankfully. If you don't want to spend the money on a new receiver, the way we did it was to use a blu-ray player with separate HDMI ports for 4K video and audio - specifically the Sony UBP-X800. This way you can keep your older AVR (which is nice especially if it's a model with good sound) and not compromise on picture quality. Hope this helps!
I've got an old H/K AVR 330 collecting dust. The main problem is that it hasn't got any HDMI. Is there any "box" that you can buy for multiple HDMI inputs that transfers the sound to the reciever?
Thanks for watching! There are some solutions called 'HDMI Audio Extractors' that you can get from places like Amazon but usually the best connection you can get from these is TOSLink which only supports compressed 5.1 DTS/Dolby Digital surround. It might be easier to get a new receiver but it's definitely worth exploring this option.
My receiver is an older model and doesn’t have hdmi, can I still upgrade to a 4K projector with my older receiver? My current projector is 720p using long component wires through the wall
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately to take advantage of a 4K projector you would need to upgrade to a more modern receiver. If you want to compare some of the most common options, we made a Receiver Buyer's Guide video, which contains sections for 3 different price ranges, right here; th-cam.com/video/KH12cmCJ3TE/w-d-xo.html
Yes you can, as long and your new projects had component cables and in case it doesn't you will need a cable component to HDMI. How ever your video will still remain 720p, and stereo audio. You might want to check on your local thrift store with a little luck you'll get a decent $500 fro like $100-$150
i have a SONY HCD-GZR88D hi fi system...the deck is not working so i want to buy a receiver for the speakers....i would be happy if you can suggest me the right receiver for the speakers...
Thanks for watching! There are a lot of options online for receivers that would work well with those speakers, but unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to review any. If you are looking for an affordable Sony branded option, Andrew Robinson did a review on a $150 receiver (previously $99) here; th-cam.com/video/FQnYkUmSR8Q/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
I have a receiver that I got for free. I have it set up to my roku stick/tv and it’s working good. But the subwoofer that came with it didn’t come with a wire. Do I use speaker wire to connect the subwoofer to the receiver?
thanks for making these videos they are great to help me put together my own home theater. I am wondering what cord to use to hook up a sub woofer. I love your videos and I am so glad i found you so I can have more help with my Dolby atmos theater.
Thank you so much for watching! We're glad we're able to help you out! Depending on the model of subwoofer and receiver you have, you might have a lot of different options - but for the most part, we would always recommend using an RCA cable to connect your subwoofer to your receiver. If you have the option of using balanced XLR connections, they could give you better sound quality but you'd have to make sure that both your receiver and your subwoofer support this type of connection.
Hey again, i have a denon 2300w receiver and a panasonic 820 4k player and a samsung 900b. What is the best way to connect all three to get lossless audio through my speakers and 4k to my tv, i know the 820 has two hdmi outputs one is audio and one is video , would i connect hdmi audio out to receiver and the hdmi video out straight to tv or would i use the passthough on the receiver with one hdmi cable to receiver, or is there another way. Any help would be great. Thanks again...Phil
Hi there! I bought a home theater system which is compose of a Harman Kardon AVR 142 and 5 JBL speaker s + a subwoofer. Now I wonder if I could still connect two additional speakers (monitor speakers), a mixer and an equalizer into it. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
Hi, need your help hear as i have a PS4 / 55 inches Sony android TV / Bose Acoustimass 10 series III, need to buy a receiver for better quality and connect my devises to it, can you recommend me as which AV receiver should i buy my budget is going to be under $ 300 USD.
Hey this is kind of a dumb one: I'm struggling to understand how the display for the db works and why there are negative db numbers on it. Would be nice if you could help me.
Thank you so much for watching!! The way we see it, there are no dumb questions! Essentially, your receiver is showing its sound output relative to reference level, or the volume that the recording studio mixed the track at. Usually, people play movies at reference level in really large theaters where they need to fill the area with tons of sound - but for most home theaters, that's just too loud. The 0dB volume represents a zero dB offset from reference level - and that's why it goes negative as you turn the volume down, because you're playing the track at that amount less dB from reference level. Hope this helps!!
I really dont know anything about this stuff so I wanna ask why I can´t just connect a Playstation to the TV with HDMI and a 5.1 System to the TV with optical input? In what way does a Receiver make this better? And why should I plug a Playstation in a Receiver when my TV has HDMI too? Greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching! You could do that, but optical only supports up to 5.1 compressed surround sound, so you might not get really good sound if you configure your system that way. Plugging the Playstation into your receiver, and your receiver into your TV, means you can switch inputs using the receiver and keep everything plugged into one central location, which might be a little easier to use. If you have a TV with HDMI eARC, and you get a receiver that supports it, you could use your receiver a lot like a soundbar - it just gets whatever audio signal is going through the TV.
If the Yamaha RX-n600 receiver does not have HDMl input but only optical input then which streaming device can work well for listening music, Sir plz suggest. I am waiting.
Thank you for the explanation of the plugs, I'm trying to set up a harman kardon receiver avr247 from 2008. I have one problem though, I want the reciever to pull the audio from my tv to my soundbar, however, it can only pull from a single hdmi channel, the issue arises because I play my Xbox on another hdmi channel and so it won't play anything, what should I do?
I bought a Yamaha RX-v573, I have never had a receiver and I can't use this, I don't know if it's broken or if I'm doing something wrong. It has no remote control, so I was thinking if this is a important thing to make it work. I paid really cheap, but if it doesn't work I'd be in trouble.
Denim avr 2308ci Mine has no sound to speakers except when running the microphone/ speaker setup for the room. I hear the thump thump thump through the speakers when the receiver is testing the sound using the microphone position around the room but no other sound comes through the speaker no Mayer what input I have it set to. I tried plugging in headphones in and out to see if that might trigger the sound but there is no sound in the headphones either. When switched to dvd, there is picture on my tv but no sound. I have followed some steps to fix it but no success.
Hay if you hook a PC desktop or laptop to an Atmos reciever how do you get the PC to see it as such? Like I know it will see a 7.1 AVR cause ironically though the TX-SR 373 is 5.1 it would show up as a 7.1 AVR. But what happens if you hook a PC to a 9.1 or a 9.1 with all pre outs setup for 7.1.4 Atmos? Will Windows output 7.1.4?
I am getting 5 speakers installed in my ceiling and I was told by the company installing them that I should buy a receiver and a subwoofer and I am “good to go” for a home theatre experience but I have no clue what I should be looking into. Any guidance here is appreciated!
I am struggling, because I'm looking for a receiver that has aux out and digital out, digital is for a pair of wireless headphones i would like to use when I want to be quieter to not disturb others and aux is for a planned set of head phones for me and another watching while still worrying about disturbing others
Hey! I have a Harman Kardon AVR 142 and I cannot choose surround off from the front panel. I don't have the remote, I got it only in one of the sources randomly (tape). But I can't on the others. Only Dsp surround off is shown. Does anyone know how to do it without the remote? Thanks
Hi im completely new to the home theater world. Is there any way u could recommend me a good 2.1 receiver with speakers (dont even need a sub right away) for under $500? Thanks
I have a question for anyone that can help. My question is I'm getting a new blu ray player from Sony . It has 2 HDMI ports. One is video and audio and the other one is audio only. Where can I plug the HDMI for audio to my home theater I have a pioneer vsx-LX 303.
I am in a total quandary about hooking up my new receiver (Denon AVR-S540BT) to my existing components: 1) Comcast/Xfinity X-1 Cable Box; Samsung Model # SX022ANM 2) Sony Blue Ray DVD player Model #BDPS1700 3) AXESS 40" HD/LED TV Model # TVD1703-40. I have tried to hook everything up using HDMI cables as instructed by your video: Cable Box to TV, via HDMI, TV to Receiver via HDMI and DVD to Receiver via HDMI. This doesn't work at all. The appears to be no working HDMI from the TV to the Receiver. As you stated this is the most effective manner in which to install all hook-ups is via HDMI, plus I would get the added benefit of being able to view the Denon Receiver Set-up process on screen and see any subsequent settings of the receiver. I believe the problem is with the TV? It has three HDMI jacks, but I believe that all three are INPUT only and using any is not outputting to the receiver's six (6) HDMI jacks: 1) DVD/Blue Ray 2) Media Player 3) CBL/SAT 4) Blu-ray 5) Game and 6) Monitor 4K HDCP2.2 ARC - which has the logo: HDMI OUT. Perhaps you can advise me on how to set this up? Or perhaps you have another video that does the same? Or perhaps you have another video that does the same? I cannot afford to hire Geek Squad or another home theater tech company to assist me. And I cannot afford a new TV, since I am retired and live on a fixed income. If necessary, I could try and email you copies of user manuals’ pages that show the back panels of my components. Thanks.
Mine doesn't have an hdmi port. but I just can't get audio out of it. I'm trying to run an optical spdif plug and I got my speakers wired in. just cannot seem to set it to make sound., losing my damn mind. It's the settings and screen display I can't work.
Thanks for watching! This highly depends on the individual receiver that you have, and whether or not it has a built-in Analog to Digital Converter. This information usually isn't disclosed in the manual or any online documentation, so your best bet is to just try it out. Hope this helps!
@@TwoGuyzTech Thank you so much! I just found out that mine doesn't have a Converter built in. So weird, not to advertise that. Oh well ... here goes more cables.

It has three HDMI jacks, but I believe that all three are INPUT only and using any is not outputting to the receiver's six (6) HDMI jacks: 1) DVD/Blue Ray 2) Media Player 3) CBL/SAT 4) Blu-ray 5) Game and 6) Monitor 4K HDCP2.2 ARC - which has the logo: HDMI OUT. Perhaps you can advise me on how to set this up? Or perhaps you have another video that does the same? Or perhaps you have another video that does the same?
I cannot afford to hire Geek Squad or another home theater tech company to assist me. And I cannot afford a new TV, since I am retired and live on a fixed income. If necessary, I could try and email you copies of user manuals’ pages that show the back panels of my components. Thanks.
I have a older harman/kardon avr10 receiver. And I have no idea how to hook it up and I have nobody to help me.. could anyone by chance help me out?
Could you do a video on how to tweak the AVR settings from Amp Assign to cross overs and levels etc.
Awesome vid mate. Enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it! You've been killing it too man!
Mine doesn't have an hdmi port. but I just can't get audio out of it. I'm trying to run an optical spdif plug and I got my speakers wired in. just cannot seem to set it to make sound., losing my damn mind. It's the settings and screen display I can't work.
THANK A LOT
Very interesting video but I've got a question, how do I hook up a minidisc player and also a cassette tape? Cheerio!
But my av receiver doesn’t have hdmi. I’m trying to connect my Apple TV and my projector to it. How do I do this without hdmi input for the reciver
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately in the scenario you mentioned you will need to get an AV receiver with HDMI ports.
What about the controls
I.love thiss
Thanks for watching :)
I want to make my own avr lol
i got a philips matchline fr975 for 30 euro´s. a bargain!
Sounds like a great deal man! Enjoy your setup!! Thanks for watching! 😀
I need help
"So if you have around $5,000 for your system" - HAHAHAHA... Oh wait, he's serious?
TIL the name for binding posts. I always just called them the speaker connectors :)
LOL you're all good man! Glad we were able to teach you something new! 😀
I am offended...what do u mean make your speakers sound weird!? It could blow them or short out your entire system lol.
Did he say $5000 budget? Lol bruh now way. I wish.
Too complicated
hey, so i can't find an answer to this: if i plug analogue signals in the receiver, will it output to hdmi??
Thanks for watching! This highly depends on the individual receiver that you have, and whether or not it has a built-in Analog to Digital Converter. This information usually isn't disclosed in the manual or any online documentation, so your best bet is to just try it out. Hope this helps!
@@TwoGuyzTech Thank you so much! I just found out that mine doesn't have a Converter built in. So weird, not to advertise that. Oh well ... here goes more cables.
