Hi John - Nice to see you! :thumbs-up-smiley: I think Mr. Vizio was just exhausted running around for soooo long trying to find a signal he just gave up and collapsed. haha No actually I think because the darn 'MUTE' setting never seems to revert itself back to 'ON' (after the unit powers...

Problem Solved Thank You!

Hello John Thanx for the reply ... TV is putting out an analog signal? 'Yes' but it remains a mystery as to why the Vizio endlessly searches for the analog signal? It worked previously in analog mode, (not anymore) ... I'm familiar with the setting option for “fixed” or “variable” however I...

Hi Gang I've searched this forum and can't find anything on the Vizio SB 2920-D6? I realize this is an old device but would really like to use a simple feature: Analog Out of a Smart TV Samsung UN32J5500 to Analog In Vizio SB 2920-D6. Yes the Vizio SB 2920-D6 worked previously (in analog mode)...

Hi Gang - Happy Holidays! I bought a Yamaha RX-V385 - Then bought a Walmart Hisense Smart TV 58R6E3. I 'assumed' the Hisense had standard ARC? It does NOT. Apparently its eARC. When I search for recognition/connection (using Brand NEW ARC-HDMI cables), the TV displays the error message: device...

Hi again Gang - Hope all is well .... :cheers: For now I'm still using my older Yamaha RX-V467 with Tannoy's for front mains, a Polk Powered Sub, and standard Yamaha Center Channel and Rears. I've customized EQ settings within the 7 Channel Enhancement Mode. Anyhow I've noticed for some time...

Thanks for the research Dennis! :wave-hello:

Thank You Lord Dalek :cheers: Thank You John Rice :dancing-banana-04:

Ah there you are again John Rice (how's it going my friend)? :chatter: Ok - Roger That - I should have known that .... :rolleyes: Thank You!

Hi Gang I have a few older HDMI Cables (more than 6 years old) .... Keeping the discussion away from 'eARC' - With the new ARC Ports in Yamaha Receivers and TV's is there a need to purchase a newer HDMI Cable to connect from ARC to ARC between reciever and TV? As Always Thank You!

Thank You Mr. Lord Dalek (the commander) As MacArthur once said: "These Proceedings Are Closed" Production Project - North Africa WWII

Ok then Lord Dalek Thank you .... So then it appears the 385 should be able to handle 4k - yes? And the price is modest (then maybe I can sell my 467)? As for Banana plugs, I would have actually preferred that style of connection but the darn things force the whole unit to 'stick out'...

Hello Mr. Lord Dalek I'm a great editor @ 73 years old & disabled - but I don't know what an X81 is? Yes I do have roku Ultra but currently don't have any problems/issues with playback .... Wattage - yes I realize those units are all over-rated. But I'm totally satisfied with what I hear now...

Thanks Guys! :dancing-banana-04: BTW - How would you guys rate that RX-V385 compared to the others: HTR-5835 and RX-V467? Aside from naturally being a later model with ARC, hoping I get at least comparable wattage? Thank You - Mike

Hi Gang Everyone here are helpful, courteous and professional - that's what makes a discussion forum a great place in which to post questions freely :cheers: (thank you)! I've owned two Yamaha recievers over the years (enjoyed them), from an HTR-5835 to an RX-V467. But I was a bit behind the...

"There's no such thing as an ARC port" Thanx but we're getting away from the question-statement. The newer style TV's have HDMI ports clearly labeled 'HDMI ARC' As far as I can tell (again as stated); To take advantage of HDMI ARC, you’ll need a television and audio processor (AV receiver or...

Hi John Thanx for your comment ... :) As indicated I'm using an older Yamaha Reciever (2009-2010). The reciever has #3 HDMI ports, #1 HDMI Output Port (along with other typical ports) like optical etc ... So again strickly using my current equipment, (unless of course I buy a new reciever...

Hi Gang Would I still need to use 'Optical Audio' out from a Smart TV to an older Yamaha reciever (no ARC), if I ran an HDMI cable from the Smart TV ARC port back to the 'HDMI Out' of the reciever? Although the reciever was produced in 2009-2010, (approx. same year as ARC), there is no ARC...

Thanx John Are you suggesting this 'could' be a feature found in a more current 'Smart Style TV' which isn't possible right now with the Non-Smart Sceptre TV I'm using right now?

"That's just how it works" Well that's it John - sorry for the confusion (I was the one who was confused) ... And again I ask the question; would it matter if I had a 'Smart TV' - probably not - I'd have the same situation regarding the Blu Ray Disc Player .... yes? I believe there might be...

Hi again John (thanks for sticking with me on this). Yes I absolutely agree with you: "stick with a dedicated streaming device like a Roku" And yes you're correct: "The traditional way to connect things is to connect them all to the receiver, then a single hdmi from the receiver to the TV"...

"If the CD and Blu-Ray players aren't Yamaha, the remote probably can't control them" Correct again JohnRice! - I finally realized that when I couldn't find any codes in the book ... so I just go thru the AVR remote buttons to pull up the CD Player and DVD Player .... What I also needed to do...

Hello John Rice Nice to see you ... Yes I use an external outside antenna for channels so I'll continue to use the 'Optical Out' I will plug the roku Ultra into one of the HDMI ports (thank you so much) Trying to figure out how I can re-assign the CD short cut button on the AVR remote to...

Hi Gang I have a few questions regarding an older Sceptre TV and an older Yamaha RX-V467 reciever: The reciever has 4 HDMI ports including an 'HDMI Out' Since there's no combined audio & video 'ARC' port, I'll have to use the Optical Audio port from both the TV output to the 'TV Optical...

Hi Gang I'm an older Yamaha person - just picked up a mint condition RX-V467. Please bear with me as I scroll through the extensive manual. Wondering how/if I can separately adjust the EQ on the mains; (the 2 front channels), and the center channel independently of the other channels? I'm a...
