Hi everyone,
After buying different sound bars and not being happy with the results, I am finally setting up a new 5.1 Speaker System for my "home theater" in my apartment.
So I went with the following:
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V379 Receiver
Speakers: 5.1 Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS setup (subwoofer, 2 towers, 2 bookshelf's, and 1 center)
I wanted the "best" on a budget and feel like this is going to be a great setup from all of the reviews, especially for an apartment.
I'm going to mate this all up with my 103-Darbee Oppo Blu-Ray/Media Player and X-Finity HD DVR box and my Samsung 65" JS8500 4K TV.
What are your opinions on the route that I chose? I read a lot of reviews on here and many other sites and it seemed like this was a great setup at a great price. The only downside seemed like the subwoofer, should I have went with a different one? I also heard a reviewer mention that he was disappointed that the center channel was only 2x4" Woofers and not over 5" ones like in the Towers.
Is there anything I should know about setting up a system like this?
I just got the basic gauge wire that they sell at Best Buy and I actually purchased the 1 cable that was supposed to hook up my subwoofer, but my subwoofer doesn't have any output for it?
So what I ended up doing was hooking up AV Cables from the Subwoofer to the back of the Yamaha, is this fine or should I hardwire it with this basic wire? Would one wire be better than another?
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to home theater systems so any help would be great, even if they are links to external/internal threads that will help me.
I don't really have many options on covering up the wires for my living room other than a little rug, what do most people do here for an apartment? I'm assuming you can't do much. I remember an AT&T guy hooking up cable service years ago that had some kind of plastic staples that he used.. Where can I get something like that at to make the install cleaner?
I'm mainly watching Blu-Rays on this setup, but will watch DVR as well. Is there any specific settings I'm going to want to do on my AV Receiver, Oppo Blu-Ray player, and Samsung 4k TV?
Any help at all and advice would be very helpful.
Thank you
