Hi, I'm planning to make a 7.2.4 system. Which is the most economical avr with dolby vision? Do I need an additional amp to power two speakers with this avr? Thanks.
I recently upgraded my AV Receiver to a Denon AVR 2312ci I found at a thrift store for $30! It works very well! The only problem is my old receiver used a passive subwoofer and my new (to me) Denon uses an active port. I was reading that I needed an amplifier to use my passive subwoofer. I found...
Hi so I just got my first real home theatre setup. Got the 4k lg tv, a pioneer vsx932 amp and a set of elac debut 5.2s for a 7.1 set up. I got the amp cheap through Ebay as it was a run out model. While I'm happy with the amp and the features I've read alot about a decent amp making a big...
I'm asking for a friend. He has $1000 to spend on a home theater receiver. He is just starting to build his home system and renting a home for the next year so the room size probably shouldn't be factored in. He will also eventually update his speakers. He can get a Yamaha RX-V2085 or a Denon...
Hello!
I’ve recently swapped out an Onkyo TX-NR1010 AVR in my 7.2 home theatre system to a Marantz SR7012. After hookup and calibration I’m hearing audible (and irritating) buzz through all 7 speakers. I went though the process of disconnecting inputs one by one to determine th source and I...
I have a Denon 4300 connected to a Trek tuner TUNVR1 connected by HDMI. The tuner says it is putting out Dolby digital. The input on the Denon is set for an HDMI only input (no other audio source is listed as connected). The on screen info from the Denon shows the input info pcm stereo. How do...
Hello everyone, our old LG "home theater in a box" sub woofer's cable is ran through a hole and sealed with a wooden wall from one side (We can't access it to change the cable) and from the other side (the one you connect to the receiver) it has a weird jack:
How do we fix this so we can...
By now hopefully some of you have seen the new Denon X8500H, and wow is it NICE. I'm already scheming on how I'm going to break the news to my wife that this is going to be the new baby that runs my home theater! Anyway, I'm nearly finished with my basement home theater, and I initially wired...
Hello -
I've moved and am trying to set up my projector to play the audio/video I'm streaming through my PC. I've had this same PC/video card with dual-monitors, AVR, and projector setup working in my previous two homes, so I'm clueless/frustrated as to why it isn't working now. I had it...
Hi - I have an older (no HDMI) Harmon Kardon AVR 525. I am streaming content from a Plex Server to a Chromecast plugged into an HDMI on a 2008 Samsung Plasma.... and then outputting Audio from the Samsung via a an optical digital link to the HK receiver.....
My speakers are a 5.1 configuration...
Hello folks,
I am not a newbie but this is not necessarily my thing. I have a Vizio Smart TV D39h-D0 connected to an Onkyo HT-R560 with Verizon Fios. The problem I am having is that I can obtain picture & audio to the tv via the AVR but I cannot get audio via the Smart Tv (youtube is what I...
I narrowed down my choice for a new receiver between the Yamaha 3070 and Denon 4400, can anyone recommend one over the other? If anyone owns one of these I would like to hear your thoughts on them. Thanks
Just curious - do most people with a sound system connect their cable box to the AVR or do you just use your high end sound system for your blu ray player when playing blu rays or listening to CD's ? Does it make a big difference with broadcast transmissions ?
I have an LG OLED 65E6V television and have just paired it with a Denon AVR-X2300W receiver. I connected the Receiver and TV as instructed via HDMI (ARC). I also connected an Optical link from the TV to the Receiver's Digital Audio IN 1 TVAUDIO (not sure whether I was supposed to do this but the...
New here, hello all, and Happy New Year. Sorry for what might be a bit of a long post.
Desperately seeking some help here on an "upgrade" Christmas present my wife bought me. First just a bit of background that might be helpful. I have a small dedicated home theater in the side of a...
Normally every question Ive ever had to ask, somebody has asked and there is an answer; not this time.
my AVR delays about a second when audio begins. it isn't out of sync it's just about a second late so i miss the first second of playback when any audio starts from a period of silence. it's...
Hi All and thank you for your input in advance! I am not a HIFI guru and have limited knowledge.
I currently own an old Harman Kardon AVR 146 with HKTS 15 speakers. I would like to upgrade my receiver to Denon AVR-X3200 and keep the same speakers and sub. My question is would I see a major...

Okay, So I am running an HDMI from the PC to the AVR but it only sends Stereo sound. I pull up the Control Panel and select Manage Audio Devices. I get two options (forgive me I am not...
So which would you go with and why, the Logitech Z906 or an AV receiver with a 5.1 speaker package?
With the second option, I was interested in the Pioneer VSX-530-K AV receiver and the Monoprice 13773 5.1 home theater speakers. With the AV receiver, 5.1 speakers, some speaker wire, and...
Hi, new member here, and thanks for the welcome aboard!! Didn't know this sight existed until I ran into trouble with my new marantz av. got it figured out but came across your site during my search for an answer . looks pretty amazing with a lot of up to date information. Anyway to my problem...
I have the Yamaha rxv-800 (to download manual: http://download.yamaha.com/search/pr...uct_id=1064064) and am using a Paradigm PD-8. We recently had a thunder/lightening storm that fried the board within our security panel, and also may have done something to either the sub or the AVR. For the...
To keep things simple, I'm looking for an AVR and speakers for my new man cave. Its roughly 16' deep and 30' wide facing the TV. I want to run a 5.1.2 configuration with as many in-wall speakers possible. Since the attic is above the room, I can easily run wires and mount ceiling speakers. I...
Good day all, its been a long time since I've posted (so long I can't remember my old account and had to make a new one no less as my "reset password" emails aren't showing up).
Anyways (and I do apologize if this is wordy). I have a Yamaha RX-V496 that has served me well for a decade and a...
