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...

I found a picture of the backside of the VCS 10 and it has spring clip connections. That’s probably what he was talking about. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Have you tried dialing in more bass with your receiver's tone controls? Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Since your system doesn’t support eARC, I’d set the TV output to either AUTO (which will hopefully let normal HDMI work), or Optical. One of those should work. Don’t have both connections in place at the same time though. Unplug the one you’re not using. There are no shortage of...

Here ya go. https://ibsubwoofers.proboards.com/board/16/loudspeakers Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

In order to connect any active (read self-powered with built-in amplification) subwoofer to an AVR, it requires the subwoofer to have an RCA jack. As far as I can see from on-line pictures and the Bose manual, the Acoustimass 300 Bass Module has no jack of any kind. Alternately, you could...

According to Crutchfield, the 300 can only be used with the Bose SoundTouch soundbar. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Or maybe a bad input on the receiver. The AVR in my bedroom has at least one HDMI input where I get picture but no audio. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

If your TV has a headphone jack that’s working all the time, no matter what, and if your soundbar has analog inputs (either a headphone jack or RCAs), that should get what you're after. BTW, audio extractors blow out the 5.1 processing. All you’ll get from them is 2.0 Dolby Pro Logic, ala the...

Well, wireless isn’t going to remedy speaker boxes on the wall. The only solution for that would be in-wall speakers with wiring run inside the wall. Aside from that, wireless in general is oversold these days, at least as far speakers go. It’s basic physics: Wireless speakers require...

Marcus, From what I understand, your connection scheme (with the TV in between the blu-ray player and AVR) removes the 5.1 encoding. You end up with a two-channel (stereo) signal, from which is derived old-school, matrixed analog Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound. Likewise, HDMI converters also...

That passage fully contradicts what’s written in the previous Section, Connecting the Subwoofer to you Audio System: “The subwoofer output/LFE signal is filtered by most receivers/processors. The subwoofer’s variable low pass filter is usually not required and should be bypassed by switching...

Seems to me the 16-outlet power bar would be a good solution for you. The Fjallbo TV stand is open-back, so you could mount the bar on the wall so that it’s up between the lower and mid shelves. This will allow you to move the TV stand practically up against the wall, as the plug ends and USB...

What John said. AVRs and soundbars are different “eco systems” for providing audio to video programming. They are not compatible and can’t be used together. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

I'm going with "no." Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Probably your best bet is to look up reviews for models you're interested in. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Unfortunately, it could be any number of things. You just need to do some basic troubleshooting. The easiest place to start would be to move the cable over to HDMI 2 on the receiver, or another HDMI input. If that doesn’t work, use an HDMI cable that you know is good and connect directly...

Adding to what John said, you might also consider Marantz, since they are owned by the same company as Denon. Unless John says otherwise, of course! Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Please verify the model # of your Panasonic receiver. A search for number SA-HA100 gets no results. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

If there is an internal battery, I would think it would be mentioned in the owner’s manual. Regardless, it should be easy to pop to cover and see if you can find one – shouldn’t be hard. However, changing it may well lose all the info. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

The blu-ray player can be connected to your Onkyo receiver. That's the preferred connection of you wish to have 5.1 et al. surround sound. You don't get that via a TV connection. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt
