    Thank you so much for this video. I was one step from purchasing pioneer htp074, but after this video I just might buy this reciever and then buy speakers later. One question about subwoofer, does the sub needs to have its own power? I have samsung sound bar and I was wondering can I use that subwoofer with this unit. Thanks

  • @knuckles1006
    @knuckles1006 Před 3 lety

    There is a BIG Added Plus to connecting as many HDMI sources as you can to the 4K TV. You can make video adjustments for every HDMI source plugged into the TV, so you will get the best picture possible and the TV will store those adjustments for each HDMI input. Plugging everything into the AVR and outputting though the ARC/EARC cable means you will be making adjustment for best picture every time you switch HDMI sources.

    Hi. Greetings! Very usefull your tutorial, I’m having just a little issue with almost the same reciever, But I can’t see that menu on my tv! Maybe is because is not a high speed hdmi cable? Actually I had to connect a hdmi cable( maybe is not high speed) and and optical wire to have output from my tv

  • @Joemama-km9np
    @Joemama-km9np Před 3 lety +2

    Good video but only thing I would change is that the speaker wires are labeled red and black for negative and positive, reversing them changes the polarity and will be out of phase, probably not giving you the bass or audio you expect. Usually white wire with black line is your negative or black wire.

    Very descriptive video. I used it to connect my Yamaha. But I have a problem. Only the left side of the speakers are playing from the television. But when I test the system surround sound as, all speakers work perfectly. Can you help me?

  • @matt79hz

    Hi... can't get arc to work on my hisense smart tv.
    I see you said you have to turn arc on on the receiver? Though of course I can't get that menu on my tv as the arc isn't working as yet.
    I would have thought setting the source to tv would be effectively turning it "on"?
    Any suggestions ?
    Great vid thanks.

  • @richardcoles2432
    @richardcoles2432 Před 3 lety +1

    Lovely video...can I ask a couple of questions please? Firstly I have just bought a second hand Yamaha rx-v375 ( one later than your old 373 ) it's in great condition for it's age and works fine except for the remote ( not all the buttons work) can one of the numerous remote replacements that I've seen online on Amazon,eBay ect ect actually be trusted to control my amp do you think ( they are similar in design to the original remote and are not that expensive tbh) what's your thoughts?...second question I have Hooked up my amp to my TV via the hdmi arc socket on both my TV and the receiver ( all good and works ok after turning TV menu to hdmi arc on) I've set the speakers up with the room Mike thing as shown in this video and it sounds awesome on my energy take 5 satellite speakers and active sub....now I'd like to know how do I get the on-screen graphics and instructions for other areas of set up if you get me as I can't figure out how to get the graphics on screen? Is it because I'm using the arc feature? Do I need to use a normal hdmi connection to set up and then go back to the arc connection once I'm done? Oh and 1 let question I have no clue what the scene buttons are about because when I press blu ray or TV it totally knocks the standard 5.1 graphics on the receiver display out and I then have to switch the receiver off and back on again to get it to default to standard 5.1 surround! Other than that I'm happy with it...any help from yourself or anyone reading this would be much appreciated.

    • @rogergomez4494

    Hi, I have model HTR-4071 , in stereo the music plays without bass. I can't set it up. But in a movie where the effects are a blast, for example, it already has bass. Only when I play music so no bass. Don't know what to do?

  • @blairdenholm4167
    @blairdenholm4167 Před 4 měsíci

    Some years ago I moved into a house that had hard wired speakers in the lounge room. We bought this exact model of Yamaha after the TV salesman said we needed to have it, and a friend set it up for us. Now, we've moved to a house that doesn't have the surround sound system and I'm not particularly keen on setting that up, considering the type of house we are in now. Dumb question - can I use this device simple with a sound bar or is this device now too fancy for my simple needs? We shelled out a lot of money for this and I'm reluctant to get rid of it.

  • @rabidcougar6465
    @rabidcougar6465 Před 4 měsíci

    I have a Pioneer Kuro TV, a Samsung DVD player and a new Denon AVR. If I connect the DVD player to the AVR via HDMI then the AVR to the TV via HDMI then the TV audio to the AVR via optical cable, do I then have to connect the TV directly to the DVD player? Or has that already been accomplished by the DVD to the AVR to the TV? I am asking because the DVD player only has one HDMI output. Thanks

    Does the tv output higher than 5.1? Can the receiver receive higher than 5.1. I think the tv and receiver has to be HDMI 2.1 to get higher than 5.1 and so does the arc. Let me know.
