    Contest: Win a copy of Terminator Dark Fate on UHD

    It’s like the liquidation sale at a store “EVERYTHING MUST GO, up to 50% off” then to disappointment everything is only 10% off and the shit that no one wants is marked up to 50%. Anytime someone questions a sweepstakes it’s built to be a sham to begin with. Honestly this the WORST Internet...

    Tired of all the app switching

    The Samsung smart TV’s have a “universal guide” and they also have the Xfinity App. The banner will show /advertise movies and you click on it, it will show all the streaming services that has the movie. Select one and it opens the App and plays the movie. First you sign into all the apps...

    Contest: Win a copy of Terminator Dark Fate on UHD

    You see that wouldn’t work, if you traveled back in time your current time would now become your past, and that event already happened! The timeline skewed creating an alternate! We need to go back and prevent Biff from getting the book! ... wait wrong movie!! I would program some malware and...

    Can’t get the IR extender to work Yahama

    Yea I’ve tried and double checked. I read on random sites that a lot of people were having trouble using IR extenders for a lot of Yamaha receivers. There are a few different IR extenders , MHz 37 and 53? I was wondering if that mattered.

    Am I getting Dolby Atmos?

    One other question. You mentioned the 7ch vs SURRDECODE which is the “program” the receiver can toggle, also has things like Hall, Cellar, Sports sound themes. The only two that I’ve been using is the 7ch and SURRDECODE. Both now say Atmos but when using SURRDECODE the rear surround speakers...

    Am I getting Dolby Atmos?

    Thanks for the response. I kept messing with the settings and when I play an official Dolby Atmos demo reel through a USB from the player, the receiver displays Atmos like it’s playing Dolby Atmos, I play Dolby digital and Dolby true HD demo reels and the receiver seems to reflect the encoding...

    Am I getting Dolby Atmos?

    Would someone be able to help with confirm I’m playing Dolby Atmos sound with the Yamaha 7850? I’m not using a 4K TV as that shouldn’t matter as the DVD is going straight into the receiver. Here is my set up UHD/4K , Hi Res Sony UBPX800 DVD player. Avengers End Game UHD w/Dolby Atmos Hi speed...

    THX: When the Audience Was Listening

    We had a store called Ultimate Electronics, maybe you’ve heard of them. One of my high school buddies would always go to that store and inside their theater room configure the speaker set up and fine tune all the equipment like it was his own just to play the THX intro. He’d drag us down there...

    I found this video yesterday which helped me understand all the connection types and cables that must be used for 4K and the audio pass through to work correctly.

    4 Klipsch Atmos set up

    Hi, I recently purchased the Klipsch RP500SA speakers and later will purchase the Klipsch atmos 140SA. Both are atmos speakers and the main difference is the speaker size and there is a cross over setting for the mid and tweeter. Trying to figure out the best set up for these. my plan was to...

    Dolby Atmos playing through receiver via Bluetooth but not TV

    Whe when you mean 2 channels would this mean like all sounds come out of all speakers L/R ? Not separate sounds from each channel, right?

    Input on my design please

    that’s what I need to figure out... may need to cut a hole in the floor of the cabinet and then the baseboard of the cabinets, ? Pull air from there? I have as much height as I need. Maybe a false bottom , like a platform that everything sits on, then pulls air from all around via baseboard...

    Need advice on surround sound on new construction house

    Never implied that Sir, no sense in driving it deeper.... As a new comer to the forum, I wouldn’t have had the perception I had about the responses if I hadn’t seen them throughout the forum. Easier to see as an “auditioner/agent” than “executive producer”. I get it, all forums have seasoned...

    Dolby Atmos playing through receiver via Bluetooth but not TV

    Thanks. I see now. Alright so I downloaded official atmos trailers and copied them to a USB and played them through by blue ray player. The sound came to life and ate me... much different than the YouTube. I guess a YouTube can still play audio to multiple channels but the true atmos wouldn’t...

    Dolby Atmos playing through receiver via Bluetooth but not TV

    If it only plays in stereo, how is it when I do a demo of 7.1 System, for 5.x it plays correctly through all the speakers one at a time?

    Dolby Atmos playing through receiver via Bluetooth but not TV

    So it wasn’t blue tooth it was airplay actually... not sure if that makes a difference. Are you sure about the YouTube videos? When listening to the official Leaf demo I can hear the atmos sounds in the atmos speakers but not in the other speakers really... even playing the YouTube video Star...

    Input on my design please

    Didn’t forget it. I have 2, 80mm fans inside the cabinet which exhausts the heat through a 6” void between the fireplace a and cabinets. Vents out the top. Is there any clean solution for wire management? I have all the wires dumping into the cabinet and was thinking of something like a patch...

    Dolby Atmos playing through receiver via Bluetooth but not TV

    I have a Yamaha TSR-7850 using Klipsch Atmos presence speakers with the cross over switch set to atmos on the speaker. When I play the official Atmos demo from YouTube via blue tooth connection to the receiver it sounds amazing, I can hear every little bird chirp, twig breaking and basket ball...

    Need advice on surround sound on new construction house

    Yea sorry most of my frustration came from browsing several other threads before posting this one, it’s the “theme” I’m seeing from this forum... I appreciate all the help that I see but more often than not it appears to be, don’t do this, don’t do that, I wouldn’t have done that, it won’t work...

    Need advice on surround sound on new construction house

    I’ve experienced a sub positioned in a corner and it appears there is more bass than when I placed it 3 feet from one wall, 6 feet from the other wall. Same exact set up I put in an alcove where a floor TV use to be, it essentially creates a box around the sub, and the bass was 10x better And...

    Purchased a Yamaha receiver

    Thanks! I tested it and it passes both Audio and video through the HDIM. This will make it nice as I only need one HDMI into the TV. I suppose I could hook in the Chromcast to the receiver as well. The optical cable I suppose only provides sound for the normal TV. Thank you again A.I

    Need advice on surround sound on new construction house

    Lots of ambiguity here... maybe you can elaborate... a disastrous wave... I see lots of comments from seasoned forum users that it won’t work, disaster, looking to chaos if you do that. Easy to critique but when comments aren’t backed up with any suggestion on WHAT to do, that chaps my hide...

    Streaming Live TV

    What I’ve found working well is using Chromcast devices. Chromcast is compatible with all the well known streaming services. Not sure if you can hook one into a projector but I think it would work. On any computer you can “cast” what you are watching , a single chrom tab, or your entire desktop...

    Newbie Speaker Question

    All the speaker and receiver manuals from the major manufactures suggest this as a common speaker layout. Then if using atmos , for a true system Dolby suggests up to 11 speakers, but 4 -6 can work well. The atmos layout can be above you pointing down in a circular pattern around the room aiming...

    Need advice on surround sound on new construction house

    Isn’t an inwall sub no different than installed in the ceiling? Setting aside the direction the speaker is pointing shouldn’t it work? I would imagine the sub wound need to be installed above you in the middle of the room

    Need advice on surround sound on new construction house

    Let me try to give suggestions based on your post like you asked. Seems previous posts simply ignored or didn’t bother $4000 budget would barely cover the wiring you’ll need installed in the walls, let alone all the components will be a few thousand dollars for basic equipment. You’ll probably...

    Can’t get the IR extender to work Yahama

    I purchased the Yamaha TSR-7850 7.2-Channel Receiver with MusicCast and have tried 3 different IR extenders plugged into the INPUT on the back of the receiver and I can’t get it to work. Is there a setting or special cable/IR extender? I’ve tested with a small 16” and a longer 12” and nothing. I...
