I just bought a Monoprice 15 V2 subwoofer that I want to connect to my Onkyo TX-RZ50. What cable would people recommend? I"ll probably need to run it 20 to 30 feet. It has what are called LFE and Line unbalanced inputs (1 & 2). I'm not sure what type of cables to use for these. Thank you in...

Hi all! I have a Marantz SR5004 receiver hooked up to 2 McIntosh XD715 Loudspeakers (which sound amazing and I love so much I might marry). We use the system for watching TV and movies in our family room. It's pretty cool; you should come over sometime. Annnywho - over many months I've...

Hi. I am in need of some help as I am quite clueless about audio. I am making a simple home cinema with 5.1 setup and I have a set of old Yamaha speakers, but I am afraid that the receiver I have is not powerfull enough. The speakers are: 2x Yamaha NS-515F 1x Yamaha NS-C515 2x Yamaha NS-M515 1x...

Hello! I'm thinking of picking up this complete set up for a home theater setup () I can save a bit of money buying the package then buying them separately. Each speaker seems to be rated for 100-145 watts max. And I've been looking around for some receivers, I know some people recommend going...

Hello! I'm looking for the easiest way to connect my budget Toshiba HDTV (which has an optical output) to a 5.1 in-wall speaker system (front L/R, front center, back L/R, subwoofer) through a Yamaha HTR-5730 receiver. Will it be possible to use banana plugs, or should I get banana plug to RCA...

I've been racking my brain around this for way longer than I care to admit and it's really frustrating me. I am no expert in this field, but I'm also not completely illiterate. First, what I'm using: TV: LG 65UH6030-UH Receiver: Yamaha YHT-5920UBL So, I have a setup with various devices...

I am having a heck of a time with a task that should be really easy: tuning my LG 55" OLED television's "Magic Remote" to control the volume on my Denon AVR-S540BT receiver. I am connected to the receiver via the HDMI ARC and the sound is fine. I can also connect via an optical cable and hear...

Hi all, novice here and need some advice on a multi-room speaker system that was pre-installed in my home (finally got around to utilizing it after many years!). Didn't receive any documentation or much information from the seller, so flying quite blind here. There are speakers installed in...

I’m going to get a new TV, I’m looking at the Samsong 4K Q led with 2.1 HDMI ports. My Currant receiver is a Sony STR DN860. Can I use this receiver, or would it be best to upgrade to a new more modern receiver? I’m really not familiar with all the modern technology, I’m pretty much old school...

I'm having issues with these two components (Yamaha RX V573 Receiver with LG 65" OLED C Series) and any TV app that is running 5.1 sound (Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc.). The Yamaha receiver is older but has an ARC HDMI slot. Sound works for everything else just fine. What's really strange is...

My 2nd receiver in two years is partially broken. It won't play HDMI video, but audio is fine. Either the HDMI out is broken... or all of the HDMI in... or all of the above. I have outdoor speakers wired to the receiver for playing music and it works fine, but, on rare occasions, I would like...

Hey guys, I finally purchased a pair of KEF Q950s towers + a Q650c center and I would like your opinions on what kind of receiver (or receiver + amp combo) I should be looking out for with the holiday sales starting soon. I know these speakers will require more power than the average receiver...

Ive been attempting to look for information in numerous places, but I am having difficulty finding very much at all on this subject. Does anyone know of a receiver that plays extremely well with HDMI-CEC? I'm wanting to setup a discrete speaker (5.1) amplifier/receiver system that takes 100%...

I've got an aging 5.1 HT setup that I've been using for probably ten years or so. At this point I'm not super invested in an amazing setup; I just want something better than the TV speakers. It's been working fine for a long time, but it's slowly having more and more problems. I've got an Onkyo...

I have a 5.1 home theater set up with an onkyo receiver and a 10” passive in wall sub powered by a dedicated sub amp. However, the sub has very little power and I’m afraid I didn’t connect the onkyo with the sub amp correctly. Here is the sub amp: and here is the onkyo: Any help is greatly...

Hello! Sorry if this is a newby question, but I have googled/searched for days. Probably not searching on the right terms. We have been trying to find a solution for our father who is hard of hearing, but others in the house are not. We have tried some external low latency transmitters and...

STR-DH190 Stereo Receiver SS-CS5 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers I don't necessarily need surround sound for my apartment, but I need better speakers than the ones built into my TV, so I can actually enjoy watching a movie. For the reason above, I don't want to spend more than $400-500 (receiver &...

Recently inherited a barely used Yamaha RX-V363 unit, that initially I want to swap into my stereo system first, will develop video/TV connections later. Want to connect all the old-school devices- turntable, cassette deck, CD player, even a reel to reel. Inputs on back are all digital (cd, dvd...

My Sunfire Ultimate Receiver has lost its mojo, it whimpers, and no long longer drives my Maggies, as if the gain has gone. I want to connect the Hafler DH500 as the main amplifier and use the receiver as a pre-amplifier. Any ideas? I don't know how to do do this as I can't see a main out.

Onkyo ht 560 no longer shows volume bar on tv. Receiver setup menu does not show on TV. Help!!!

Hello! I’m trying to connect the audio (only) FROM a Samsung Series 6000 HD LED TV TO an Onkyo AV Receiver HT-RC160. (I purchased both of them in 2011, so they’re getting a little long in the tooth. I only use the Onkyo to process audio signals, not TV signals—that’s way too complicated for me.)...

Hi everbody. I'm new to this world, and I bought recently a Sony RT3 (5.1). As a newcomer, I liked to start with a "basic" 5.1 system. I wanted a real surround system. After studying all options available in my country, I decided to give a try to that system (i's old, but a good budget...
