I have a budget and am trying to get the best bang for the buck- I tried out an Onkyo RZ800, which I'm planning to return, solid unit, my ears just need something a little smoother and more geared to music- aka Marantz. Had a Rotel 1055 which I was replacing.
With a $6-800 budget-- Do I go new...
Hi,
My Sony STR-K502p 5.1 Receiver has just celebrated its 15th birthday! Unfortunately, the years have taken a toll and it doesn't look as nice as it sounds. There are several noticeable scratches on the top of the receiver and on the speakers which i'd like to cover. The speakers and receiver...
My Yamaha RX-V465 receiver now sees DTS-HD MA as plain old DTS. AT least that's what is says on the display. It used to display DTS-HD MA. According to the display option on my Blu-ray player, the player is outputting DTS-HD Master Audio--as it should.
The receiver is in the middle of the daisy...
so I have 3 "Video Displays", A projector and two televisions all have an HDMI input. I have a cable box, DVD player, Apple TV, and Sonos connect as Inputs. I need a way to run different video streams from the receiver to the "Video Displays" without spending more than $1000. This is tricky...
Good evening, new to the forum and the home theater experience I suppose. I have an all-in-one LG Blu Ray 5.1 home theater system, or rather had one, as the Blu-ray player/receiver died the other day. I had that one 5 years. Now I'm seeking a new receiver to work with the speakers as they are...
So I have a Yamaha Yst-sw216bl subwoofer and a Yamaha RX-V375 receiver. When I plugged in my sub with a subwoofer cable to the Pre-out jack in my receiver, I heard an annoying humming sound. I checked the instructions and I saw this:
"When you connect the subwoofer to the PRE OUT terminals of...
Hey everyone I have a Sony STR‑DN1060 receiver and am having an issue with a strange discoloring. When using pass through with my new Sony BDP-S6500 Blu Ray player the entire screen is a green and purple color. When I take the HDMI and direct connect and not use pass through it appears just...
With the recent release of the Denon 920, last years 910 model (virtually identical to the newer 920) is now showing up as "discontinued" and at a $100 discount over typical MSRP (now $479 compared to $579).
If you're in the market for a solid, well-featured AVR (and its limited Atmos support...
Hi all
Have a Pyrod av 1500 surround receiver with no remote and user manual so I'm having trouble trying to change the speaker configuration from 5.1 to 2.0 as I want to only run 2 x speakers from this amp. Trying to use the functions on the actual amp only gets me so far not sure how to go...
I am currently in the process of building my home theater. So far, I have just a 2.1 set up picked out and all I want to know is if the receiver I've picked will be able to handle this 2.1 set up without being too weak/too powerful, while also leaving room to add more speakers in the future...
I have a Sony 5.2 Receiver that I have hooked up to surround speakers in our living room. Our home is also wired to speakers in several other rooms. There is a "switch" in the living room that accepts a simple 2CH RCA (R and L) that then will route the sound to the whole house. I want to hook...
My TV has an HDMI input with ARC (Audio Return Channel) which supposedly can send any sound from the TV itself back to the receiver it's connected to. My receiver however is just a bit too old and does NOT support ARC, and I've verified that if I connect this to an input on the receiver it will...
So folks I think I'm going to start looking at new receivers and wanted some help picking one out. I currently have a Denon 2310ci and I'm looking to replace it. Mainly because I'm interested in getting a 4k TV soon to replace my Samsung PN58C500. I recently bought a Vizio 4k for upstairs...
I have a 5.1 home theater setup that, either I put together myself or have replaced some parts over the years. The speakers are Boston Micro80x II. The AV receiver is an Onkyo TX-SR500. I THINK we bought this stuff around 2002.
The subwoofer pooped out about 6 months ago. Now the receiver...
I am changing my speakers which require more power to be all they can be. They will need to be bi-amplified. On my Sony STR-DA3ES receiver does the second room (or B) speakers split the front "A" channel in stereo mode? Or does this use say the rear speaker channels to drive them? The reason I...
I have four Yamaha NS-IW280 speakers in living room and Kitchen. The kitchen speakers are situated to the rear of the couch. 90% of the time these will be used to just play music (so my wife can listen to them while in the kitchen) and therefore I want them to play in stereo (as apposed to no...
Hi everybody,
I bought a Pioneer VSX 930 recently, and have had hours of frustration, and few hours of great sound, ever since.
Pointless telling you about my early set up attempts as they didn't go well, a bit of a learning curve encountered I think.
I have never managed to get sound from my...
I hope someone can help me with their knowledge. I just purchased a new Samsung 50 inch LED 2160p Smart 4K Ultra HD TV Model # UN50JS7000FXZA and would like to know the best way to connect my DVR, TV, Receiver and Karaoke CD player together.
I am not familiar with the different types of HDMI...
This is very strange. Months ago I was trying to watch a 3D title on Netflix. It would start to load, got up to 25% and then would stop, and get an error that I couldn’t watch the title in 3D. I contacted Netflix; we tried different things but couldn’t get it to work. This was on a PS3 connected...
Hi there... I've been away from the HT scene for quite some time. Used to be a regular here. It looks quite different since I've visited last. Had to re-register because I forgot my old password. Well... my old Harman Kardon AVR525 seems to have bitten the dust due to too much heat.
I know this...

That is can two input source configuration used the same HDMI physical connection or is the HDMI source not selectable once its assigned to an input source.

I'm a little late with this as the finishing touches are underway, but I figured it might be helpful to others to see my theater construction pictures. I'll start with a finished shot and then start at the beginning. Here is where it is at today: (UPDATE: Dolby Atmos has been added. Updated...

So, I just purchased my new Denon AVR-S910W, and finished mounted my Swan Diva 2.1 speakers as my front height L&R channels, and found out my Xbox One will not send out the proper signal for me to enjoy an Atmos decided Blu-Ray. So, until I can buy a new Blu-ray player (going cheaper and saving...
All of a sudden my Yamaha HTR-4066 surround sound system does not relay the HDMI signal from my Directv receiver to the TV. When I turn on the Yamaha receiver, a message briefly appears, stating "Version error."
If I bypass the Yamaha receiver, connecting the Directv receiver directly to my...
