Unboxed my new Yamaha receiver and immediately became intimidated, until I watched your video. This video was clear, concise and easily understood even by a novice such as myself. Thanks for an incredible video!
6:32 This is the video I've been looking for all this time. Installation details and function options for SPDIF and HDMI out cables. Thanks very much. May God reward you abundantly 🙏🏽 Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩👋🏽
so informative!! thank you this helped me a lot to setup my dad's surround system! just needed Information about binding posts which I found in another video
When you hook up the microphone at the end of the video, do you have to leave that connected long term or is that just something you connect at initial setup?
I've spent an absurd amount of time trying to understand all this stuff in the last few days, and this video is the first thing that was clear and super helpful. Thanks man!

Thanks someone gifted me a Yamaha receiver a few days ago and I don’t know how to use it. The guy kissed it and then gave it to me because he’s moving and I was helping throw away his stuff. I think the one I got is an old model though because it doesn’t have Bluetooth
Lovely video...can I ask a couple of questions please? Firstly I have just bought a second hand Yamaha rx-v375 ( one later than your old 373 ) it's in great condition for it's age and works fine except for the remote ( not all the buttons work) can one of the numerous remote replacements that I've seen online on Amazon,eBay ect ect actually be trusted to control my amp do you think ( they are similar in design to the original remote and are not that expensive tbh) what's your thoughts?...second question I have Hooked up my amp to my TV via the hdmi arc socket on both my TV and the receiver ( all good and works ok after turning TV menu to hdmi arc on) I've set the speakers up with the room Mike thing as shown in this video and it sounds awesome on my energy take 5 satellite speakers and active sub....now I'd like to know how do I get the on-screen graphics and instructions for other areas of set up if you get me as I can't figure out how to get the graphics on screen? Is it because I'm using the arc feature? Do I need to use a normal hdmi connection to set up and then go back to the arc connection once I'm done? Oh and 1 let question I have no clue what the scene buttons are about because when I press blu ray or TV it totally knocks the standard 5.1 graphics on the receiver display out and I then have to switch the receiver off and back on again to get it to default to standard 5.1 surround! Other than that I'm happy with it...any help from yourself or anyone reading this would be much appreciated.
We hooked ours up and can’t get any sound, and we did basically everything you can think of and we don’t get a setup screen for the receiver that shows up on the tv
Very nice. As someone who has not set up a receiver in 10 years this showed me some basics that made it easy. Thank you, I had been chasing all over the net looking for something that helped me with basic set up.
Hi. Greetings! Very usefull your tutorial, I’m having just a little issue with almost the same reciever, But I can’t see that menu on my tv! Maybe is because is not a high speed hdmi cable? Actually I had to connect a hdmi cable( maybe is not high speed) and and optical wire to have output from my tv
Thank you so much for this video. I was one step from purchasing pioneer htp074, but after this video I just might buy this reciever and then buy speakers later. One question about subwoofer, does the sub needs to have its own power? I have samsung sound bar and I was wondering can I use that subwoofer with this unit. Thanks
Good video but only thing I would change is that the speaker wires are labeled red and black for negative and positive, reversing them changes the polarity and will be out of phase, probably not giving you the bass or audio you expect. Usually white wire with black line is your negative or black wire.
I have a Pioneer Kuro TV, a Samsung DVD player and a new Denon AVR. If I connect the DVD player to the AVR via HDMI then the AVR to the TV via HDMI then the TV audio to the AVR via optical cable, do I then have to connect the TV directly to the DVD player? Or has that already been accomplished by the DVD to the AVR to the TV? I am asking because the DVD player only has one HDMI output. Thanks
Some years ago I moved into a house that had hard wired speakers in the lounge room. We bought this exact model of Yamaha after the TV salesman said we needed to have it, and a friend set it up for us. Now, we've moved to a house that doesn't have the surround sound system and I'm not particularly keen on setting that up, considering the type of house we are in now. Dumb question - can I use this device simple with a sound bar or is this device now too fancy for my simple needs? We shelled out a lot of money for this and I'm reluctant to get rid of it.
I hVe an RX-V661 receiver.... that is why I need help to get help to set it up and what components to buy..... Please help.... Yor receiver is easy to to hook up... my mine is old was eas giving to me for free that is why I want help
Outstanding explanation! This is the First time in my whole life that I completely understand the whole cables connectivity between TV and an AV receiver and all the different equipments!! Thanks a million dear friend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Airbus A320 is my all time favorite plane. This is also my hobby. I am also special needs. I love Yamaha Receivers as well. I own the Yamaha TSR-700 a rebranded model of the RX-V6A
Hi, I have model HTR-4071 , in stereo the music plays without bass. I can't set it up. But in a movie where the effects are a blast, for example, it already has bass. Only when I play music so no bass. Don't know what to do?
I have a similar Samsung TV, but it’s curved. Right now my main issue is that the arc connection is not working. I have a movie playing through Hulu and when I switch to other speakers settings, there is no audio. Help please
I connected MY PC to receiver via Optical connection and the PC detects the receiver as stereo instead of 5.1. The only solution that works is PC to Receiver via HDMI. I would stay away from Optical if you want anything higher than stereo.
Good video. YAPO result is not effective in case of room with furniture. Only for distance it is ok otherwise result is useless. Better manual calibration is ok.
hey bro how about the sound coming from my TV. Like netflix installed in my tv does the sounds come out of the speakers or you need a hdmi dev like apple tv and roku
Nice video. I've been setting up friends receiver's for years. He is spot on, on everything. Now when someone needs help I can send who ever here, to this video. Great video. Oh I'm getting ready to buy this very receiver and speaker system.
Does the tv output higher than 5.1? Can the receiver receive higher than 5.1. I think the tv and receiver has to be HDMI 2.1 to get higher than 5.1 and so does the arc. Let me know.
Is it possible to make this connection through a laptop? I don't like tv ... and I I would not like to buy a tv to make this configuration. I appreciate your advice
Very descriptive video. I used it to connect my Yamaha. But I have a problem. Only the left side of the speakers are playing from the television. But when I test the system surround sound as, all speakers work perfectly. Can you help me?
Hi... can't get arc to work on my hisense smart tv. I see you said you have to turn arc on on the receiver? Though of course I can't get that menu on my tv as the arc isn't working as yet. I would have thought setting the source to tv would be effectively turning it "on"? Any suggestions ? Great vid thanks.
hi great video....at 4:05 in the video ...you are talking about connecting your ixfinity /cable box directly into the back of the Receiver....and you pointed to hdmi1(bd/dvd)....is it ok to put the hdmi from tv there even if it says (bd/dvd)? thank you pat
There is a BIG Added Plus to connecting as many HDMI sources as you can to the 4K TV. You can make video adjustments for every HDMI source plugged into the TV, so you will get the best picture possible and the TV will store those adjustments for each HDMI input. Plugging everything into the AVR and outputting though the ARC/EARC cable means you will be making adjustment for best picture every time you switch HDMI sources.
This information was literally incredible! You definitely have a new subscriber here! Keep up the great work! I just got a Marantz receiver and will use your advice on getting it set up! Thanks again!
I pretty much new what I was doing b4 however this helped me freshen up and exhume the confidence I needed to not fudge it up. Btw you spoke very well, nice and easy consistent and with fluidity nice job 👍

Im having the same issue, did find out how to access that menu? Could be the hdmi cable is not high speed?
Which cable for the Subwoofer ?
Was connected but no sound the receiver is a Denon avr- 689 ,the tv is a Sony 65x8500G why no surround sound out of the speakers
You need to upgrade your Gaming Consoles.. Wow.. Like a Museum of Consoles..
We hooked ours up and can’t get any sound, and we did basically everything you can think of and we don’t get a setup screen for the receiver that shows up on the tv
Would this system be good for a sound blaster AE-9 sound card?
My TV doesn't have hdmi arc and it doesn't detect the receiver
How do I hook my Marantz sr 7400 to my TV an cable box.
Hello please I need help
5:31 That Is Not A Digital Optical Audio Input That Is A Digital Optical Audio Output For Your Sound System That Has No HDMI Arc Compatible
I am struggling to connect my REL sub with high level socket. Can anyone tell
Me how do i connect it to the amplifier.
With a RCA cable
Nice video. Would love to see a demonstration of how you switch between all the different source connections on your TV and AVR.
best video I've seen on setting up a receiver. Thank you!
Man you're so dedicated and explained everything so well, you're great, thanks for creating this

Thank you! ARC wasn't working for my setup. Turns out that I wasn't using the high-speed cable as you mentioned.
What if my smart tv has an HDMI port labeled ARC but my receivers HDMI out port is not labeled with ARC? It’s an older Sony receiver.
Good video but only thing I would change is that the speaker wires are labeled red and black for negative and positive, reversing them changes the polarity and will be out of phase, probably not giving you the bass or audio you expect. Usually white wire with black line is your negative or black wire.
I have an older RX-A810, that is very low sounding. No ARC plug. Cable/FireCube feeds through HDMI2/HDMI4. What am I doing wrong?
I have a Pioneer Kuro TV, a Samsung DVD player and a new Denon AVR.

Would the arc connection also output smart tv sound like Netflix, etc.?

Depends if he wants to

Ok so how much to come to my house.. lol! Seriously tho, thanks you did very well explaining.
Do you know which smart TV could connect to this wirelessly? Airplay works great from computer but can't get my Samsung TV to connect.

How do you get audio from netflix on the tv to be played through receiver to your cinema system?
Would be great if net radio set up was covered. This feature is useless because the damn thing will not work. The app is the worst i have seen so far.
Whats the Benfit of the HDMI ARC over just using the optical audio?
one less cable apart from that none
Hall Larry Davis Maria Lee Sandra
Great explanation thank you. I bought the same receiver and was confused. Great video tutorial
If I want to use the ARC audio from the TV, which source do I select on the receiver?
Does the tv output higher than 5.1? Can the receiver receive higher than 5.1. I think the tv and receiver has to be HDMI 2.1 to get higher than 5.1 and so does the arc. Let me know.
I have a question. How do you manage to see this setup screen on your TV? When I try to set up, I only see features on my receiver.
Thanks :)
Is it possible to make this connection through a laptop? I don't like tv ... and I I would not like to buy a tv to make this configuration. I appreciate your advice

Very descriptive video. I used it to connect my Yamaha. But I have a problem. Only the left side of the speakers are playing from the television. But when I test the system surround sound as, all speakers work perfectly. Can you help me?
Please advise how to plug in the power cable, in terms of neutral and line.
Do I need a system that has eARC and ARC OR ALSO, to have MORE HDMI outlets why not get a HDMI Splitter?
yes asking
Hi... can't get arc to work on my hisense smart tv.
I see you said you have to turn arc on on the receiver? Though of course I can't get that menu on my tv as the arc isn't working as yet.
I would have thought setting the source to tv would be effectively turning it "on"?
Any suggestions ?

hi great video....at 4:05 in the video ...you are talking about connecting your ixfinity /cable box directly into the back of the Receiver....and you pointed to hdmi1(bd/dvd)....is it ok to put the hdmi from tv there even if it says (bd/dvd)? thank you pat
Nice review very informative🧐🤓
What's better this Yamaha or nakamichi Shockwave
I know the nakamichi is more watts but doesn't always mean it better
There is a BIG Added Plus to connecting as many HDMI sources as you can to the 4K TV.

Can the ps3 have audio still go through only the tv if you dont want to use the speakers late at night?
Amazing information
I have the same system my question is can you turn off the subwoofer with the remote or you have to go behind the subwoofer to turn off.

in yamaha home theatre if i use hdmi arc port at that time via remote control which hdmi input should i select
Great intstructions - you're the best!!!
Really thanks for that video, you help me a lot to understand how connect my future setup. Specially how ARC works.
Thank you!
I’am connecting out on receiver to hdmi on tv and not getting any sound,why?
Did you turn on ARC and is your TV compatible with it
I can’t get sound to come out of my speakers
same
Now how do I add wireless microphone with a mixer
If you have your tv setup on the arc and your cable run to the back of your AVR does your AVR need to be turned on to watch the tv?
No, the TV will play with TV speakers while receiver is off.
crossover ow much?
How’s it work if the arc connection on the tv and the receiver are both output?
The TV puts OUT sound signals to the receiver. The receiver then puts OUT sound signals to the speakers.
Very helpful and detail, thank you.
