Receiver with MIC In for Karaoke Hello All, According to a friend, there really is no longer a need for a karaoke machine to have home karaoke. They say they can just open YouTube and find songs with the lyrics displayed so what they want is a receiver that has a MIC In input that works when...

Good day folks! So I recently bought a Playstation 4 Pro so I could experience 4K gaming on my Samsung 75" 4K television. I currently have several pieces of equipment running into the various HDMI input ports on my Denon receiver, with a single output cable from the Denon's HDMI Out (ARC)...

Hey, all. Been a long time since I posted. Anyway, I am cobbling together yet another HT setup, from some older parts. I have RF7-II's, an RC7, SVS subs, etc... I am kinda wondering what to do, receiver-wise. I purchased a refurb DTR 70.4 a little while back. I also have a new Onkyo 807. I was...

Hello, I planned to upgrade my home cinema sound. I am currently using the Philips 7540 and I wanted to have a better sound. The plan was to use the 5 speakers from my old cinema system and just upgrade the receiver and the sub, so I bought the Yamaha RX-V583 and as subwoofer the Yamaha...

Hello, I moved into a house a few years ago with a great whole home speaker system. I've used the receiver that was left for me since then but am thinking of upgrading. The speakers all feed into this receiver through a speaker selector or directly into the receiver. What would be a good...

Hello All, i have a 5.1 Pioneer receiver (VSX-821-K). my Subwoofer died last week and i have two SONY SS-MF315 speakers (3way floor standing) that i have used before as stereo. i was wondering i can replace my two front home theater speakers with the two SONYs and also connect LFE channel to...

Need some help with something. I’ve gone from an Onkyo to a Sony, specifically an 1100ES. On the Onkyo, I could set the desired “sound field” for each time of audio. So various varieties of Dolby and DTS were process exactly as they are, but all 2.0 channel sources (usually from apps and such)...

Hi. I searched the forum for this sort of thing, but only found really old threads. So I'm asking again. I need a receiver for about $350. My setup is: computer > USB Sound Blaster HD (analog) > receiver > book shelf speakers & subwoofer. I only use 2.1 on this, but I need it to play loud...

Hi I'm new to this forum, looking for some advice. I'm looking for an AV receiver, I think. What I really need is just an audio switcher. Currently my setup involves my computer as my main source of audio and it is output via the audio jack to the audio input jack on my TV. I also occasionally...

Hi Guys, Ive had a RXA700 for about 6 years and its been working just fine. It currently powers 2 energy rc70, a cb20 and cc10. I have a sub, but I keep it off because I live in apartment. For the most part it works fine, but the issue is that I have a 4k tv and cant use it for switching...

Once in a while I listen to music with RX-A2060. Is there any set-up where I would tell the receiver to output sound to 2 front speakers only ? I want to use 2 CH stereo, rather than 7 CH stereo. With 7 CH stereo I don't think RX-A2060 could output to 7 speakers simultaneously and end up with...

Hi I have a Yamaha RX-A860 A/V receiver, and I want to plug my iPhone into it to use it's built in DAC to play my lossless files back at the best possible quality. The USB port on the front seems like it only recognizes storage devices, and not something like an iPhone. I'm new here, so any help...

Hello All! Up for sale is a full, matched, set of M&K (Miller and Kreisel) 6.1 surround sound speakers, complete with subwoofer. These speakers belonged to a family member who passed and we are now looking to place them in the home of someone who will care for them as he did. Great care was...

Need some help and options in connecting my old passive Onkyo sub woofer which just has the black and red connection at the rear (model# SKW-391) to my new Onkyo receiver (model# TX-NR656) which provides connection only to an active (or powered) sub woofer. Thanks

Hi, I realize this is waaay below the level of sophistication of systems you normally discuss here, but I'm hoping the experts on this forum can help me out. I just got a new TV (Vizio M65-E0) that has only one HDMI port capable of handling 4K UHD input. I have two devices currently that...

My new TV only has Digital (Optical) Audio output (no Aux or composite out) which is great for my Sound Bar but now I can't use my headphones anymore. Is there a cheap(ish) adapter that exists that allows Digital Audio passthrough but also gives an aux out? I really don't want to pay $300 for a...

I have an older AV receiver (Onkyo 608) that does 7.2 It has connections for 2 front highs, really making it 9.2. My set-up now is 7.1. and am using my Sammy K8500 (3D/4K) for pass through. My question is, could I connect 2 Atmos in-ceiling speakers to those front highs and will I get 7.2.2...

I need to replace a Denon AVR-3808CI. I have been happy with it, though I need to replace it with a receiver that will support my 4K TV and different 4K devices. I want to connect a 4K DirecTV, a 4K AppleTV, a 4K Xbox, and have room for future additions. Other then that I do not know what to...

I’m about to buy a new 4K TV, the Samsung 55” MU6300 (waiting to see if there’s a price drop on Friday). We have the 75” version of this set in the living room and really liked it, so I’m going with the smaller one for my game room / man cave. Right now I have HD Plasma that will be going away...

Hello, I am definitely not a home theater expert, but I sure do love watching movies in my living room. I am looking to upgrade my older receiver, it is a Yamaha RX-V800 (specs here: https://www.cnet.com/products/yamaha-rx-v800/specs/) and I see that the Yamaha RX-483 (http://a.co/24CCiTt) is...

So my Denon 3313 has started to give up and with all this new technology showing up now It's time to upgrade. I have about $1000 to spend. Looks like I need Atmos and DTS-X 4K ability. What else do I need to have? Just bought the Sony x800 and maybe within the next year I'll get a new 4K TV...

My receiver is a few years old but works ok. I just acquired a turntable with the traditional red and white RCA pin plugs but there is no connection in the back of the receiver for this. Or a ground wire. I looked at a couple of used receivers for sale and same thing-no input for a turntable...

Probably time to ditch my Denon receiver and move to Atmos with my new home theater I'm putting in. My budget is probably around $2500 but I can go higher if need be. I've wired for a 9.2.4 system (and yes, I know that 99.9% of receivers out there don't power that without an amp), so I'm...

Hi everyone, I used to be on this forum years ago but got away with other responsibilities and interests. Recently, my Integra AV receiver (DTR50.2) quit putting out sound from any input. Fortunately, I have insurance from DirectTV to cover audio/video or PC components that malfunction. They...

I am going to eventually change all components in my home theater setup, but I am starting with the receiver. I am trying to keep the budget at $600. I currently have a Harman Kardon AVR 2600. I was looking at the Denon avr-x3300w, but I wanted to see if there were any other options in the price...

I currently have 2 older receivers. Due to only being partially employed (I live in the middle of nowhere) I can not buy a new one to use at this time. Choice #1 is a Sony STR-DA2000Es and choice #2 is a Onkyo TX-SR606. The Sony I bought new many years ago and has served me well, the Onkyo I...

I am looking for help selecting a receiver for listening to CDs through headphones. I have tried researching this online and, as usually happens, the more I learn the more confused I get (impedance, RMS, SPL per milliwatt vs. volt, Ohm's law, etc.). I don’t use speakers. I have an Onkyo C7030...
