Lol wardog disliked my reply. Lol who does that? I’m literally telling you what I want and have

It’s a very small bedroom and decided I want to free up the floor space by not having speakers and wire strewn about, and I know wireless speakers exist but they suck for surrounds. I have a proper SS system in my living room

Thanks for the quick replies. That’s what I was afraid of but figured I’d see if it was even possible. So I think I’d need an HDMI switch as I have more devices than most tv’s have inputs. How do I go about connecting a switch to a soundbar and the TV? Thanks

Hi all. I can’t seem to find a solution to my situation. In a bedroom, have an older Samsung TV with two HDMI inputs(no ARC) a Denon S900w receiver, a couple streaming boxes and a gaming console. Been using 5 surround sound speakers and want to downsize to a soundbar. The receiver has two...

You are correct, the 2400 doesnt have component inputs. I would run hdmi to tv, then use an optical cable for the dvd player and another optical or digital coax to the STB for audio to receiver.

I think i understand what you're saying. However i can not get the tv signal to go into the receiver then to the vcr and back to the receiver and finally to the tv. I dont have a cable box, so my only options are going to the vcr with the main coax and have a patch coax cable from the vcr to the...

Receiver's VCR (video tape monitor) setting, if present: On -- The receiver is actually selecting something else for an input but sending that signal only to a VCR via special VCR Out jacks. Only a VCR's output coming in the matching VCR In jacks is sent to the TV (via composite and/or...

Thank you for the reply Robert. I understand it all now. I was a bit confused on what input setting the receiver would need to be on for watching tv with this setup because i thought you'd need to have it set on vcr since the rca cables would be connected to the vcr inputs of the receiver, but...

Hi guys. First off, I have a yamaha receiver thats capable of upconverting composite and s-video to component. I currently have a vcr connected straight to my tv via the in & out coax connections of the vcr. This is of course the poorest quality. I want to connect it to the tv but through the...

Agreed with Jeff. Also, i know i plug Yamahas a lot here, but they're great amps, Yamaha's have a pure direct feature which bypasses all the video circuitry and DSP modes that produces a very clean 2-channel audio signal. You'd be fine getting a 5.1 system which you could use in the future if...

The 663 is comparable to the 659 that i have give or take a few features and watts. I like that Yamaha is now including Sirius inputs on their receivers. I wish i had that option but XM is fine for now. I didnt need HDMI inputs at the time but now wish i had them. Although I've heard that using...

Is your direct tv receiver set to output an optical signal? Check that its not outputting through HDMI. Also, can you just run audio from the Direct TV output to the second receiver and bypass the 3800? I'm not familiar with the cd-r in/outputs, but it seems a little strange to go that route...

I would at least get a 5.1 system. Unless you are planning on devoting an entire room to home theater (i.e have room for all the speakers and if the room is big enough to worry about it) I would shy away from the 7.1. To me 7.1 really didnt make a difference although i have a Yamaha rx-v659(7.1...

Like Bob said, if you are running multiple component or hdmi cables into a receiver to use a source switch, then use the single monitor output of the desired cable to your projector. HDMI cables of longer runs can be quite expensive since you want to use a fairly good one for those long...

How do you mean longer? Is longer and deeper the same? Like others said, its not really good to stack components like that, but if its something thats used infrequently like the dvd player(unless you watch movies for hours on end) then you could put something on top of the dvd player assuming it...
