setup

I'm an American living outside the US. I've not had a TV at all since 2011, for various reasons, but I recently moved, and my wife and I decided to do a little Googling in order to purchase a modern setup we consider to be great. We decided to order a table-mounted 48" LG C3 WOLED TV (using...

Hello! I previously posted my issues two years ago in 2022. Today is 5-11-24, and still haven’t found a solution to my malfunctioning YAMAHA REMOTE CONTROL. Before, I was able to use the Yamaha remote (RAV290) 7.2 channel receiver to gain access to the remote functions (Setup, Options, Return...

Hi Guys, Hoping to get some help. I'm very new to the HT scene. I had recently bought the KEF Q750 for front L/R, and KEF Q650 as centre, and a Yamaha RXV-2085 AV receiver. I've now only realised behind some boxes in the basement, were a pair of Onkyo Integra TX-DS989 (apparently top of the...

I recently found out that my all in 1 Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar has the ability for me to add a subwoofer to it. As a result, I am now looking for a good subwoofer to pair with the soundbar however my space is a bit limited and my living room layout is not idle. Caddy corner tv, a long wall on...

Hi. I have a surround sound setup but I dont wish to use it for everyday listening. I just turn it on for movie nights. I was wondering what other people do in this situation. Do people generally use a separate soundbar? Do they just use the centre channel speaker in a mono configuration...

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

I have the following set up: Bell fibe receiver and Samsung BD-H6500 Blu-ray player connected to Yamaha RX-V577 AVR which is connected to Samsung UN65F8000AFXZC smart TV all via HDMI cables. I have a 5 speaker set up with no subwoofer. I installed Prime Video app on TV but when I watch that app...

First time posting on here! I have a small 5.1 (2 subs but 1 channel) surround sound system in my bedroom. My tv is offset, it’s between the center and front right channels. A lot of my speakers were given to me from my parents (I’m in college) so those speakers are a couple decades old (I’m...

I badly want to add height speakers to my 5.1 setup but a) I don't like the idea of upward-firing speakers, and b) my basement doesn't seem well-suited to speakers attached to/installed in the ceiliing. My thought: stack height speakers on top of the front R/L and rear R/L speakers. I figure I...

Hi, I am slowly going crazy after several hours of fidding with my amp, hopefully someone here can help. I have an oldish Yamaha RX-V377 amp, a newish Panasonic TH-55FZ950U Tv, and a very new set of Kef surround sound speakers curtersy of the insurance man after my house got flooded. I have...

I've got 2 Pioneer Elite receivers in my home. A VSX-70 and a 50. I'm trying to get an external bluetooth device with 'line in' RCA plugs connected so I can listen to the show on bluetooth headsets at the same time my wife is watching the movie on the surround speaker system so,,, both the...

I am a music lover and new to this forum. I want to setup a new home stereo system but in a dilemma of choosing the right options. About myself: music first then movie, both are important. I thought of going for a soundbar that is also good for music listening. But there are so many options and...

So in the hopes of making this explained as simple as possible I won't describe the exact hardware details because I feel it's irrelevant to the question. So basically I have a Rockville 5.1 surround sound connected through my tv with a 3.5mm aux cable. While I also have a Samsung soundbar and...

New to the forum, old to the world. New house, new HT setup. Somewhat like learning a new language and difficult for me. 5.1.2 system with 65" Samsung TV, Yamaha Aventage RX-A660 avr, Sony X700 dvd, cable box, Roku, turntable, CD changer, distributed audio via MusicCast/Yamaha amps. All...

Hi all, A little over a week ago I upgraded my LCD tv to a LG OLED C9 55" Tv. I never understood the hype about 4K until saw one of these work their magic. I have been more then thrilled with it thus far, and show it off to everyone that visits. Purchasing this TV has triggered the tech geek...

Just wondering if people had any suggestions on what to do with my living room audio setup. It's somewhat of an odd layout--the wife loved the floorplan of the house so we went with it. It's sortof rectangular and the only place I can put my TV is above the mantle. I want good sound but the wife...

I currently have a 1996 Yamaha receiver out there and two 4" bookshelf speakers. I want to buy 2 speakers, a little larger, and had a couple questions. I'm trying to figure out a cheap option. 1) Is there any way to stream music to this receiver so I can play music from IHeartRadio, etc. ...

I want to know the best setup under a low budget of 50,000. Can anyone suggest me a better home theatre?

New home theatre set up today. I used to work for Sony. So I had a good idea of what I wanted. In wall setup very pleased with it. 10" Polk audio subwoofer. I think it's lacking a little bit. But couldn't resist the price. I'll be adding a second subwoofer. 8" b&w waiting for a replacement amp...

Hi guys! First off, I've got a modern 55" TV, but naturally the onboard sound isn't at all satisfying. I'm on a budget of around $800, so I realise this puts me at the bottom end. I'd still rather go for a conservative real-setup than a soundbar. This will be my first build, so assume I'm a...

Hi Guys, Sorry for the inconvenience my poor planning has caused but I have a problem. I have just refurbished my house an I have prewired a 5.1 speaker setup for my 65 inch tv, which is great and sounds awesome when on. The problem is this, if you can imagine I am sat in front of the TV and...

Hi, I have a condo with 4 in-ceiling speakers and 2 speakers out on the patio. I'm looking for recommendations for the cheapest way to get them all to play music, ideally where I can turn on/off the 2 outdoor speakers since our patio is connected to our neighbors so no need to annoy them if I'm...

Hello all! We've recently sold our home so I'm building an equipment list for the media room in our new home. Our current house has a great dedicated HT setup built by the previous owners. 100" screen, ceiling mounted projector and speakers, HT seating with a 2nd row riser, dark paint, etc...

Hi, all. New here, which will become patently obvious. I am working on a basic whole-house audio only setup. Looking to have 7 zones. Along the way, I picked up a MCR88 for $30. I have been reading up on it with the hope of using it. The immediate problem I see is that there is no way to...

Hey all, a friend just recently gave me his Sony home theater system and I was wondering if i could seek assistance on the audio front. I have 4 speakers hooked up via the surround sound ports on the back via speaker wire. I also have 4 HDMI devices hooked up and I have the HDMI output going to...

Hello! This is my first post and I have a question at the same time. I am a pro gamer. I want to make my home as home theater. So I am looking for a projector which will deliver best quality picture and at the same time it will provide best performance for gaming. It is really hard for me to...

I'm planning an in-wall 5.1 surround sound setup for my game room. I have 4 Polk 265-RT speakers for front/backs and a Polk 255C-RT for the center channel. 65" TV. Game room layout attached or can be seen here: http://www.screencast.com/t/Aw6wUo4Up The wall where my TV will go is only about...

Hello all, I have a Pioneer VSX-LX302 that I am trying to figure out if I can use it in our theater that has a 9.2 speaker setup. I'm left with a set of surround speakers to connect. We just upgraded our projector to a 4K and our old Denon does not have the ability to support it. Is there a...

Hello, I have an older Denon AVR-1312 receiver that only supports 1080P over HDMI 1.4a. This is good enough for my cable TV service. The Denon is wired to all of my surround speakers and connected to my 4K Ultra HD Vizio TV. I also have a Roku Ultra 4k media streamer. Unfortunately if I...
