It's 2022, and we were told about 4k 6/8/10 TV years ago, so I would like to know, where is it? Our providers have some sports channels and the rest is movies that I can stream elsewhere at way less cost than renting a 4K PVR from them. Everyone has 4k TVs but they can't just be for watching a...

Just another question arising as I plunge deeper into this rabbit hole! If a speaker is rated as capable of handling 20-200 watts, will it sound the same if I have an AVR feeding it 20W compared to one pumping in 150W? Asked another way, is it better to run the speakers at the higher or lower...

In my search for a new AVR I've come across some that include a feature for "rear wireless speaker support". Does anyone have some knowledge on this feature? Is it just a matter of buying some compatible speakers and adding them or is there more equipment needed, etc.?

Just a twist on the hdmi control questions out there. Do I need hdmi control activated if I'm using a universal remote such as the harmony models? This is premised on my limited understanding that hdmi cec fundamentally gives us control over different components of the system which is what I...

In my search for new speakers for my home theatre in a family (great) room setting, it now seems that the AVR I have (Yamaha RX-V577) may or may not drive what I may or may not buy speaker wise. I didn't want to buy a new AVR, at this point, as I thought I was clever future proof buying when I...

Can I just ask, SVS or Elac? And how about Elac without Andrew Jones?

Hi I searched the question posed in the title and the results show this topic hasn't been discussed lately. Don't know why that is, so I thought I would resurrect it as I was wondering if the main fors and agins for either have changed over the years and with changes in technology. Thoughts...

I was looking for a forum where we could ask the most stupid of questions. Couldn't find one so I'll have to post here: I have my fire tv stick (HD, not 4K) connected to my AV receiver. Unfortunately, the AVR, and stick, are in a cabinet on the bottom shelf, in a corner of the house furthest...

I have a tuner/receiver (set top box) from TV provider, Blu-ray player and Amazon Fire stick, all attached to AVR. AVR out to TV (all connections are hdmi). So all TV and streaming and disc playing sources are before the AVR and don't rely on TV. TV is essentially a monitor. Question 1: Do I...

Bit of a confusing bit of information from the Yamaha Canada site about the ability of the RX-V577 AVR (my receiver) being able to pass through 4K data to a 4k TV. Early on the page it states this: "This model will support HDMI 2.0 connectivity*. It will support 4K Ultra HD 50 Hz/60 Hz signal...

Hi. Hope everyone is well and safe. I have to replace my old blu-ray player. I have an older 1080p tv. All the while, something called 4K has come to this world and left me behind ;). A new tv is a bit off for me but I do need a new blu-ray player. As I'm looking around at all the 4k players...

Hi again. Hope everyone is well and safe. I have a Samsung Blu-ray player that is exhibiting spotty wireless connectivity. I noticed, more than once, when I went to use the Netflix app via the BD player I would get a "wireless network not connected" message. This got me thinking about improving...

Just bought a new digital piano for my son (Yamaha Modx8) and the first thing I noticed is that it doesn't have any speakers. I have a Sony STR-DG820 AVR and a set of Dynaco A25's (aaahhhh the seventies...) collecting dust in the basement and I was thinking about hooking the new piano into that...

Hi. Hope everyone is well and safe. I have a Yamaha RX-V577 AVR with a 5 speaker set up, no subwoofer. I use a Harmony one remote to control activities. I noticed that when I watch tv, the avr is set to "7 channel stereo". I recently bought a firetv hd stick and the avr is set to "Straight"...

I have the following set up: Bell fibe receiver and Samsung BD-H6500 Blu-ray player connected to Yamaha RX-V577 AVR which is connected to Samsung UN65F8000AFXZC smart TV all via HDMI cables. I have a 5 speaker set up with no subwoofer. I installed Prime Video app on TV but when I watch that app...
