Receivers that can handle 4-ohm are typically the top-tier models. I’d you don’t mind buying used, you might look for an older flagship models. AVRs devalue pretty quickly due to ever changing technology, which makes one several years old a good deal on the used market, provided the features...

Most every input on this AVR has both in/out and/or video jacks associated with it. I recommended CD to minimize possible confusion for this OP. He's not just a greenie, he's a seedling. :) No offense intended to @satimis - after all, we all started somewhere! Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Get a 3.5 mm to RCA male splitter cable in the length you need (see link below). Connect the single end into the computer's headphone jack. Plug the other two ends into the jacks on the back of the Denon labeled "CD." On the Denon's front panel, turn the "Function" knob until "CD" appears on...

Sorry, but you can't use 4-ohm speakers with most receivers. Typically they require 8-ohm speakers. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Don't see any reason why it would not work. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Welcome to Home Theater Forum! You are on the right track. You will need a streaming device with an audio output (probably a 3.5 mm jack) that can plug into the Marantz. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Most everyone has them, except perhaps for the bottom-tier offerings.. Check the product lines (and manuals) for the popular brands to find models with the features you need. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Just connect the new AVR the same way the old one is, except that the cables currently connected to the MD/Tape outputs will connect to the new AVR’s Zone 2 outputs. It will work. Again, make sure the new AVR sends all audio sources, both analog and digital, to the Zone 2 outputs. That is a...

Yes, the bottom box is an amplifier. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Most AVRs these days have secondary outputs labeled “Zone 2” that could be utilized for your whole-house function. However, those outputs are typically analog, while the inputs of most components these days are digital (HDMI typically). The caveat is, not all AVRs will send digital inputs to...

Here is a link to the manual. Look for provisions to turn up the volume on the rear speakers. After that, look for a setting that runs all speakers during 2-channel (stereo) operation. If that option is not available, you will need to upgrade to a newer receiver, as that is a common option for...

Are the red circles up around the wood beams the speakers? The problem is that the speakers are off-axis. This means you can’t hear the upper frequencies that give definition to speech (the “s,” “t” sounds, etc.). Thus, it basically sounds like you have a pillow in front of them. Am I...

You can use any receiver with the 5-channel speakers. However, you will not be able to use the subwoofer. Receivers typically only have a line-level output for subwoofers, as most subwoofers have their own built-in amplifiers. That won’t work with your subwoofer because it does not have a...
