I just got a new Pioneer Surround Sound A/V Receiver - VSX-532 for my 66th birthday... This is my 1st a/v receiver and it is as intimidating as my old 4-channel receiver I bought 1972 the Sansui QRX-6500, which I still have and use. Thanks for the video. It sure relieved some of my anxiety and give me some new ideas.
That is excellent!!!!! Congratulations and Happy Birthday! Check out the entire HT Basics series including this one on speaker layout: th-cam.com/video/IVOn_17D1K4/w-d-xo.html
Have fun!
Ohhh foreal damn congrats headass boi 👎
Hey thats the same one i just got, but im having trouble hooking up the speakers to it
This is a great video, man! So glad I found it. You're telling me things that the "experts" haven't said a word about. Love the detail you go into here.
+TheStig ZeroZeroZero Thanks! Glad to help
thanks soooo much was struggling for months trying to figure out the speaker wiring and came across your video and within minutes had it working ....you are a lifesaver!!
Awesome, happy to help!
thanks for this! I scored a receiver and two speakers at good will and couldn't believe it would manage audio and video for all the video games and entertainment systems has, so we don't have to plug and unplug all the wires. And thanks for mentioning the optimizer mic, had no idea this technology existed.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for covering ”power output” and what that means! I have never understood the -db / +db on the display, +db in my head is usually positive decibel. So the -db did never make sense to me, always thought it was a setting issue :-) thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching
Excellent basic setup instructions and to the point on most aspects, well done sir and Thanks.
Happy to help!
Dude you’re the man!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad to help!
Great video! Very informative and thanks for covering the basics for us noobs!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank You. Good clear basic Information. Great to get a new comer started. Not too much high tec talk with too much detail. People can learn enough detail later if they want.
Thanks!! Enjoy your new setup! And come back anytime to check out the latest videos!

Excellent video ! i moved to a house that has a wall integrated home theater speakers and now im getting a new TV, PS4 Pro and need to get a reciever to hook all the speakers on the wall. This video was a lot of help to guide me what i need to buy and how to set it up. Thanks!!
Thanks for watching and happy to help!
Fantastic Help for setting up a home theater system - Video will help and teach you along the way Thanks So Much - Keep Posting
Thanks for watching and commenting! Enjoy your system!
Thanks for the elaboration on the back of the receiver. I’m binging all your home entertainment vids to know what to get haha
😁😁 thank you 🙏🏾
I have a Denon AVR 2801. I put the 14 gauge wires through the holes in my surround sound speakers and wrapping it around the spokes on the receiver. Then, I got my RCA cable for the surround sound and Hooke sit up to the TV/DBS slot in the back of my receiver and hooked them up to the Audio In and Out plugs in the back with the yellow Video out put cable. It does work, but last night when I hook it up, I don’t what source it was on but I heard a buzzing on my speakers so they’re definitely working.
Very informative, I am glad TH-cam recommended this video right when I bough my speakers and my amplifier, I just wish someone see this comment and could guide me through the whole process of hooking all up.
Please, anyone....
That's one huge unit. But you covered the basics very well. Thanks.
+Jet Fan Thanks!
Home Theater Hobbyist. No responce except for the same tutorial that will not explain how to get my unit to display true hd or Dd or sorround sound or pcm and so on
The eco was of so i turned it on is that what i should do ? Thank you for your responce
I was thinking the Eco mode should be off. Maybe Google this issue for your receiver to determine if others have had the same issue
I've seen bigger
THANKS again this worked on my RXV683 also.
Sweet!
Great video for beginners! Thanks!
Awesome! thanks for watching!
Good explanation, thanks.
Tech-Heads, I love them! Great presentation my brother.😊👍

Thanks for the video, I learned a lot!
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
Well done. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Home Theater Hobbyist hi sir, is it possible to connect an a yamaha active monitors on this receiver?
The Yamaha Rx-v673 does not have “pre-out” connections so it can’t use powered speakers in the main 5.1 or 7.1 mix. It does have Zone 2 audio out so it can send a signal to another room and powered speakers would be used. Hopefully this answers your question.
I own the TSR-700. It has really good sound, and a 4k picture. I am very pleased with my purchase. The TSR-700 series is the same as the RX-V6A. It is totally special needs adult owned. Always well taken care of. I love Yamaha receivers. Airbus A320's is my hobby. I am a big fan of Dolby Atmos as well.
Can you show us how we input the auxiliary cord??
I just bought a small white and red male cables to a aux female cable receiver. You put the white and red into a input on your system and it's ready. Unless, of course, it already has an input aux.
Thank you. Very good video
A very helpful video. Thanks, now I know what to do with my speakers I was given!
Awesome!
Easy and simple 😉 good job!!
+de jonge neven Thanks
Where do I get the calibration mic for this yamaha receiver
@@tobyhathaway1664 you can type your model in Google , there are so many ways to get it 👍 have a nice weekend ☀️
eBay is my best guess.
Great job. Keep up the good work!
Thanks
Great video. Easy to follow. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Well presented and really informative. Will save this for sure...thanks so much!
You have a great voice for presentation.
Thanks!
Thank you soooo much for this video. I am a novice and this is great
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Cool vid! Thanks.
Great quick overview. I'd love it if you got into all the speaker connections and the difference between them.
Thanks!
A great video helped me understand the basics in detail for a novice like me . I would like to check once i have the speaker setup and all running . i would like to find out how will i adjust the sound out put , meaning i dont want to have my surround sound while i am watching general programming like news . Like to know how will i shift between the sound output from surround sound while watching movies , playing games to a general viewing like news etc . Look forward to hear from you
Thank you. Very knowledgeable...
You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Great video series! I have an older Yamaha HTR 5440 receiver and I want to tweek the Set menu but I'm a bit lost on what the best settings are. Do you have any videos demystifing that? I'd love to learn but can't find anything. Thanks!
great video. thank you
A very good video you made it so simple great job...Thank you
You’re welcome, happy to help!
Very nice Tutorial. Great Job..
Thanks!
Supper helpful now I understand so much better thanks.
Glad it helped!
Awesome! Just so happens I own that same receiver also.
Sweet! How do you like it?
Like the video easy to follow, would like to hear more of similar contact
Thank you!
Where I get hung up is selecting the various options from on the front panel after everything is connected. I have a Marantz stereo with knob selector. Can you explain this for your audience? Thanks.
I appreciate the explanation.
Awesome!
great video and easy to follow thanks for sharing
This vid was awesome man!! Just bought a new Onkyo TX-NR686 receiver. Hooking up the speakers to the unit with those Banana Cables would have been so easy. Cheers!
Thanks for watching! How do you like the Onkyo so far?
I love it! Sounds Great and I haven't even tweaked it out yet. Wish I had those Banana Cables man. I've never heard of them till this. Cheers
Make sure you get speakers that can withstand the power your amp can give or else your speakers will blow up
Very good explanation. I need you to show how to put it on and operate. thanks
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for all the great info!
WOW, now that IS ONE RECEIVER! Haha. 1st thought was wow, doesn't it blow out your entire power supply ^_^. Wish you were local so I could hire you to sort out my connections for me. But hopefully step by step I will get there. Thank you for the demo.
Happy to help. What other connections do you have? I may need to do a video on them as well. 😁
@@HomeTheaterHobbyist Thanks for the reply and offering to help,. ^_^. I just have some wirings I would love connected to this and that.... So far I have managed to hook my tivo box to a splitter so I can watch it in my bedroom also without paying extra each month for a separate tivo box ^_^.
Now am searching if I can convert an old sitting 'idle' but lovely sony hi-fi speaker system - to be able to listen to it with a smart tv instead. But not had much luck or info on 'how to' with that type of speaker system. Model is SSWZ5E. Not sure what wires would go where, or if it's EVEN convertible, but wanna try. Have ordered some audio/video cable/ plugs, so will see what I can do..
- Failing that, my next move will be to get me a wireless speaker set. Not keen on having to keep charging a 'main' speaker, or else would have gotten a bluetooth one. Although IDEALLY, I DO want something I am able to move from room to room with... but I want something I can plug in socket - or back of tv and have it play continuously, rather than one that runs out of power. Sorry for the long post, but current dilema. ^_^ . 1st world problems huh? Haha.
Kind regards from the UK ^_^
For a newbie like me this video is great, nice one 👍
Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe and share the videos! 😁
Great content. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great explanation!
Thanks
Thank you sir!
You are welcome!
son, that receiver's as big as you!! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
That help a bit (not the same model) to understnd my new old Yamaha HTR6130 :D Tkx
This guy knows his shit 👍
Also, while holding straight button while powering the device on you will get to the advanced options to chose your speakers oms and other hardware options.
thanks bro
Nice video. You're a good teacher
Thank you!
Getting ready to set up a receiver that’s been sitting on the shelf for years because I’m too scared. Watching this, sweating. Thanks for the video. Here I go!
How did it go? 😄
@Home Theater Hobbyist So it turns out my bro must have given it a try: both wires (+/-) were twisted together and stuffed into a single connection point 😳 The wires looked like they were pretty thin (18 gauge) so I ended up buying a spool of 99.99% copper 12 gauge. I disconnected everything and I'll give it another go when I get the new wires in the mail.
Ok, let me know how it goes.
Bro! You rock
😀😀 thanks for your support!
Great video. How do I adjust the brightness on my display for a str dg500
@Hometheaterhobbyist, I am so glad I found your channel. Your video seems easy but in actuality sooo complicated.
My friend has a:
BOSE sound bar that has:
A)1.S/PDIF Output - B).a RCA input #1 C).a RCA input #2 -D).a sub out
SHARP AQUOS QUATTRON
What I see on the back(I'm assuming that's what I'm supposed to use for this case)
VIDEO 1 w/ R AUDIO L AND VIDEO
VIDEO 2 w/ R AUDIO L AND VIDEO
COMPONENT w/ R AUDIO L AND VIDEO AND Pr Pb and Y
(She has the BOSE RCA input #1 going into that component R AUDIO L AND VIDEO of the TV.
AV YAMAHA HTR
On the back of the AV I have no idea where to plug anything to the back of this. I twiddled around and put it in the CD in the DVD in everything I could and on the front put in the corresponding input and nothing works.
I just want to get that SOUNDBAR connected. Its a old one she said that around when they first came out but those are the only terminals at the back
I'm confused on making work through the tv(which doesn't work) the AV (which she has sitting there) and I'm lost.
I see from your video the visual on the back looks so much like mine, but I can't get it connected and for the last 4 weeks till I seen this video, it started to make sense, but still don't know what I'm doing wrong. Its driving me nuts!!
Can you tell me where I'm going wrong or what's the best way please, Thanks
From what you've said I don't think you need the Yamaha in the chain at all just use the Bose connected to the TV as it is. Then go into the TVs audio menu and select the audio output that the Bose is connected to. Hopefully this helps!
Great video
Thanks!
For anyone troubleshooting surround sound with the actual device here's the steps that I found buried on forums that are not in the instructions.
Set Impedance:
Look on the back of your speakers and check what Ohm rating they have. With the receiver powered off, hold down the 'Straight' button on the front and power it on. It will take you to the impedance menu automatically. Hit 'Straight' again to select the Ohm rating of your speakers (6 or 8 Ohms)
Turn on your HDMI Settings:
Hit 'Setup' on your remote to access the HDMI Control menu.
Set "HDMI Control " to ON.
Set the "TV AUDIO INPUT" to AV2
Set "ARC" to on
HDMI control lets you control the Yamaha receiver volume and power with the TV remote.
Connect Receiver to Smart TV
Plug your HDMI cable into the HDMI ARC port on the back of your TV (Just look for the port that says 'ARC')
Plug the other end into the HDMI Out ARC port on the back of the receiver.
Go into your smart tv settings and under the sound>Sound Output options select Receiver(HDMI). If you don't have this option then something is not turned on in the HDMI settings steps above. Mine wasn't displaying the receiver option until I turned on 'HDMI Control.'
Troubleshooting: While you're watching your program, scroll through the input sources till you hear sound. It could be the TV Audio Input is set to another input.
*Keep in mind, if you're streaming, Netflix and Hulu offer different sound options with each show or movie so the surround may be different with literally every show or movie you watch. While watching a program and looking at the receiver input source display you should be able to see the speaker icons for which channel that show or movie is actually using. Netflix's surround sound isn't great. Hulu is better but it doesn't seem to use all speakers.
Hope this helps.
I think it's time you upgrade your TV man!
On another note, great explanation on this topic. Thumbs up!
Thanks! I do have a 4K TV now but I still like my Plasma! th-cam.com/video/0GIaHRkhvWg/w-d-xo.html
Good intro. You could serve big need if you would show how people with hearing problems, for example older people with high frequency hearing losses, can set a modern receiver to add definition and volume at the needed frequencies. Thank you.
That's good point! I'll see what I can do to address that need!
Upper left hand corner on back panel is not USB, it is 12 V trigger to operate a relay to turn on power when a specific input or all inputs are operating
Thankyou..nice video. I just bought the Yamaha 271 but through optic I dont see dts confirmed in the AV window? Any advice?
I have hooked up my speakers to this same receiver but I get no sound coming out
I should have gotten this unit with the USB and internet, I still like the 861 for pre Amp out, there hard to find, I need Amps for my polks.
Sir , nice Explained..Sir I have request .please give full demo with all connection
Good video
If I wanted to connect (2) front bookshelf speakers which which connections on the back would you use? I have the same reciever.
What are your speakers of choice?
great video,thanks for upload.My receiver is Yahama HTR-6130 and I need to know how to hook it up with:
1.Computer
2.Powered behringer speakers and powered subwoofers.
Thanks! To connect to your computer you will need an audio output jack such as auxiliary. Then you can use this auxiliary to RCA cable to connect it to your receiver (this is an Amazon affiliate link by the way amzn.to/2INccQB). For the powered speakers you should be able to use standard RCA cables (this is an Amazon affiliate link by the way amzn.to/2PqiSXq). Hope this helps!
I feel the lack of highs in my 5.1 speaker setup. I have onkyo txnr656 av receiver and it supports upto 7.2 setup. I bought a pyle tweeter box which has 4 tweeters in it. Could you please explain me the right way to connect this additional tweeter box to my av receiver so i can listen better highs. Appreciate your help.
I liked this video, good, simple, detailed information to demystify the process. I have a question that I think I know the answer to, but I would like confirmation or NOT: I like my two speaker (Wharfedale towers) + subwoofer (Boston Acoustics) setup, but my receiver needs replacement and I need to know if I can use a multichannel AV Receiver with that setup or do I need to stick with a 2.1 channel stereo receiver?
Yes, you can use a multi-channel receiver for a 2.1 setup and it will work great! What are you thinking about purchasing?
Awesome review I'm lookin at this unit right now also a marantz...tough choices (""
Thanks! I don't think you'll go wrong with either. Folks who own one or the other really like them. Let me know what you think once you get one!
Which audio did u plug tv white and red wire into? I'm plugging into tv on reciever but no sound.
How do you hook up a second zone and control it from the remote control. I have a pair of speakers outdoors that I would like to play
I just purchased a Yamaha RX-A1070 Receiver. Can you tell me where I would connect 4 front speakers R, C, L and sub-woofer and 2 rear speakers L and R for Zone 1.
And 2 separate speakers in another room for Zone 2. Thanks.
Lmao “It transmits audio audio” Great Video though! Thanks for the help!
Thanks
Do you reccomend using a DAC for enhancement.
What are your views on sonos connect amp? I thought it was versatile but it limits me to the app as I'm unable to connect to all content on my phone especially youtube.....which is a deal breaker for me!
I have a LG surround sound system with a blu ray 3d player it requires a hdmi to connect to the tv.. And I have a samsung bar with subwoofer connected to my tv and it requires a optical cord to hear it I play both of them while watching movies.. Is there anyway I can get one of these and hear it with the rest of them by using a hdmi cord or headphone line cord?
I have a very similar receiver and have been trying to get the ARC feature to work with my Samsung UN55MU6290 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV. I have been through all the manuals, configured and re-configured all of the settings and still get no audio out of the tv into the receiver. You've probably heard of this issue before but its makes the SmartTV features basically useless so in our case we are using an older SONY BlueRay player to acccess Amazon and other video services. Any suggestions?
I am connecting a Denon AVR S760H that has 7 hdmi ports on the back. My question is if I connect every item I have through the HDMI ports on the receiver and one HDMI ARC out to the tv do I have to always have my receiver and surround sound on or can I still watch connected items through the tv without receiver on.
I think one of the kids has pressed something on one of my remotes by accident,,not sure what’s happened but the sound has gone awful on my tv sound,,,what’s the best setting to have on you Yamaha receiver for tv
Hi i have yamaha rxv685 and 5.1 klipschz. How can i use my avr for sounds while watching youtube and netflix?
Finally, the one detail I was looking about external connections, explained. I want to buy a receiver to connect from my blu-ray to and older projector (that has HDMI input, but no ARC). So basically, I would connect the BR output to the receiver input (HDMI), get the digital sound through my speakers and video output to my projector? That's what I would think, correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, awesome video bro. Thanks!
Yes that should work! Thanks for watching!
I have a Yamaha RX-V350. Where do you put the red and white cables from the TV on to the receiver?
Can you show me how to hook up an iPod to a RX620 and what settings the front panel should be set at pleased.
Good Job Sir.. Its been a While Scince I Set up a Modern Stereo , in the 70's ( Praise God ).. Thanks Man !🎸 Happy Easter Season.. I Am Partying ..😇 - UncLe MyLes + edm.Ab. Can
Happy to help!
I have the yamaha 2080 and the entire pioneer elite atmos speakers in 5.2.4. Why when I run the YAPO setup do I get wiring errors on 3 of the speakers? Took my time setting this receiver up making sure red to red and black to black twice before moving to the next speaker. I even checked the connections again after YAPO was ran and everything is connected correctly. Could this be due to sound reflections in the room?
Would you know how I would be able to hook a receiver into a projector such as the "Optoma HD33 DLP Projector"?
