My rear surround speakers crackle and sound like bass is trying to go through them during bass parts of movie...i have two subs also hooked up and bass comes from them as well but sounds as it should...shouldn't sound only come through my rears during surround parts not bass parts of a movie? Im using the sony 7.2
Great Scott: HDMI will give you both picture and sound in the HIGHEST quality available you do not need to use optical fiber cable ( the wire with the red light on each end ) all you need is one HDMI cable for each component cable box, game console, DVD, etc...
Mario Lets say you have a projector and you wanted to connect all these hdmi devices to to it, you can't because there is just 1 or2 hdmi ports on the projector. So it's just better to connect everything into the receiver and have 1 hdmi out to the projector. TVs may not also have enough hdmi's to connect all of your components. Lastly one remote is just needed to switch between sources for efficiency.
@Mario it depends on the tv itself. a lot of samsung tv's will not send 5.1 when you hook HDMI to the tv then optical to the receiver. it's a weird thing, but you will find cheap receivers on ebay that have the hdmi pass through.
I am trying to hookup a non-powered subwoofer that has speaker wires, not RCA. I bought a male rca plug that allows you to connect speakers wires to it. I did and plugged the subwoofer into the "subwoofer out" on the back of my Sony STR 770 but nothing comes out. If I plug the subwoofer speaker wires directly to any other speaker out, the bass will come through. Any idea what I am doing wrong? thanks.
NOTE: TV CONNECTION: THE VIDEO SHOWS PLUGGING AND HDMI FROM THE RECEIVERS HDMI (ARC) TO ONE OF THE TV''S HDMI PORTS, BUT IF YOUR TV INCLUDES AND HDMI ARC, YOU SHOULD PLUG THE HDMI CABLE INTO THAT PORT AND NOT A REGULAR HDMI PORT.

Do you know how to connect an optical cable to a tv and use an old system to play surround such as where to connect
Hello. I hooked up the receiver to tv but it didn’t work. And I also hooked up the videoke and it works. What do you think is the problem? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the wonderful tutor explanation video but I like to ask you if you can help me to add the dual wireless mic to use in the same 5.1 home theatre setup for karaoke purpose. What kind of cable/s or other components do I need and where should I connect to which in the back of the ARV Receiver. Please help. Thanks again.
Good thing I got a receiver without thousands of hdmi's . I only need the 5.2 setup for the surround sound and my TV. Seen other people connecting their xbox, ps 4, blu ray player, cd player and whatnot. Damn they got a lot of things to connect. I keep it simple.
@@briangraham9646 Sorry bro, I'm pc master race :D I got them hooked up to my PC and only using the receiver when using the TV, otherwise just monitor and headphones. Im still debating why people are still using blu rays when they're not even using them. Certainly, its better quality and you'll keep the dvd's 4ever, but marginal for a lot of expense. Netflix or Prime or if you know the free stuff, its all good. You still get the surround effects. Now, a playstation/xbox will actually be better than a blu ray since you're getting way more things, so I see why people have that.
I have an old Sony Receiver STR-DE635 that does not have an HMDI. I can only use color-coded pins, an Optical audio cable, and a Coaxial digital chord. Is there a solution that I can still use my old receiver to hook up my DVD player and my 6 Bose speakers with my new TV that only has HDMI? Please help. Thanks. By the way, what is the Model number of the Sony receiver used in the demonstration?
If you have a new TV that has only hdmi, it should still have optical audio out. The easiest thing to do if you can afford one is upgrade your receiver to one with hdmi and Arc or eArc(newer ones with eArc should be both i.e eArc and Arc"backward compatible"). eArc does same thing as ARC but also supports over 5.1,Dolby Atmos, DTS-X for larger speaker numbers highest sound bandwidth, etc buy ARC (audio return channel via hdmi) is sufficient for 5.1 surround sound most home theater systems. If you don't want to spend money on new receiver right now, yes you probably can set up your DVD player to run on your old receiver as long as the DVD player has hdmi out and should have an optical audio out as well like the tv. If your DVD player is so old it doesn't have hdmi, get a new one, get a blu-ray player which plays blu-ray, DVD, and CDS! They are very affordable and have what you need. Connect the DVD hdmi out to a TV hdmi in, connect the DVD optical out to one of the stereo receiver optical inputs. Setup menu in the blu-ray/ DVD player will allow you to set the audio output to optical instead of hdmi. Thus wat the video goes to the tv via hdmi and the audio goes to the receiver via optical, then on the TV, select your hdmi input source for the DVD, and on the receiver set the source to the corresponding optical input. I used to have this type setup with an old Technics receiver that didn't have hdmi and it worked great.
I have heard that connecting a mic to a receiver and then speakers can ruin your speakers. Home theater speakers are design for high fidelity at low volume, and Karaoke/PA speakers are designed for loud volume with a compromise in fidelity. Because of this, the sound spikes (especially if you drop the mic) can damage your home theater speakers.
Hi, I just replaced two RX-V377 Yamaha Receiver/Amps and have tested and confirmed the problem in both cases is the HMDI cards. While using one of the bad HDMI cards neither of the four units will power up. Using a good HDMI card and all four units work perfectly. Notice, "power up" is the issue. The power supplies to both "suspect units" tested perfectly. From Yamaha, a new HMDI card is $169 and I ONLY paid $80 for the two complete units on ebay. Here is my thinking: 1. The "protection" circuits on the HMDI cards are not allowing the power supply to engage. 2. The vendors who sold me the replacement (Used) units likely had the same problem (Would not power up due to "a turned off HMDI unit" by the protection circuit). 3. Using a magnifing glass and good light, all four HDMI cards look exactly the same. QUESTIONS: a. How can I find a vendor/repair-place to repair the two inoperative HDMI cards? b. How can I sell the two good amps with inoperative HDMI cards for $40 each plus $12 freight? c. What other suggestions? I can use the two inoperative units if the HDMI boards are repaired. I appreciate. Jim.clayton at Claytonbank d--com. Thanks!
Yes in tv and amplifier is have to be hdmi ARC and yet is must be good hdmi then ARC will works, no problem, like i use it with my Yamaha av amplifier, ARC may not work with bad hdmi
I have this receiver Sony STR-K7000, has 3 HDMI ports, labelled DVD, VIDEO2 and VIDEO out, anything I plug in to VIDEO2, the audio only comes out from the TV, not from the receiver; I connected the firetv or the blu-ray to video2, but sound only comes out from the TV, am I missing a connection or that is just how is it designed. I connect a karaoke machine to the VIDEO2 (RCA/composite) and the sound comes out from the receiver. Thanks for your video/reply.
if your receiver is a 5.1 receiver, you won't be able to add 2 more to make it a 7.1. tho if you want to jimmy it it's simple. just splice your rear or front cable to another front set, then get another speaker cable, and connect it to the receiver. tho i think when you do that, it eats some of the wattage.
Why do i have to connect the receiver with an HDMI and an optical calbe to the TV?? Whats the benefit doing it this way? I just use the HDMI cable and it works just fine.
But how can I connect my microphone to my Sony home theater to my Samsung tu7000 series model 2020? If I used Bluetooth to make videoke why my microphone don't have sound? But if I removed the Bluetooth the mic have sound,
@Shanon Sorry thats simply not true. Try watching a BR disc on both. HDMI is capable of transmitting True Dolby HD, Optical cannot. Depending on the system specs you could possibly make the optical input better but on paper HDMI is definitely superior.
Would having a digital optical cable coming from an Xbox to a receiver be useless or it is strictly from the receiver to the tv ? If anyone know thanks.
that's why it's call an hdmi pass through. most receivers don't actually completely power off when you turn them off, they go into standby mode. which is more then enough power to send the signal through the pass through. that being said, if you have 5.1 or higher. why wouldn't you be using it, instead of the built in speakers on tv's, they shound like shit now.
optical allows for higher quality of audio to be sent to the receiver, because it doesn't have to convert from digital to analog in the HDMI cables and then back to digital for the speakers

i just have an optical cable going from my TV to my receiver, why do i need an hdmi going from reciever to TV, doesnt the optical take care of the sound?? im confused
@Curt ¡s when you don't have any clue what you are talking, please don't talking. This is optical Toslink for digital audio streams. He needed HDMI also because of the video transfer. At the time not every TV had HDMI with ARC functionality (audio return channel)
If your TV have a HDMI port with ARC then you don't need the optical cable. This video is 5 years old. Nowadays you only need HDMI for audio and video. However, both the AV receiver HDMI port and the TV must have the additional HDMI ARC.
If your receiver is much older it may not have hdmi audio return, or if it is newer, you may need to enable it on both the receiver and the tv. Varies by receiver and manufacturer but if the hdmi monitor out has ARC, you don't necessarily have to have the optical. Look up your receiver brand/model/year and see if it supports ARC. Lots of videos on CZcams about ARC.
if your receiver doesn't have an eq built in, you would have to buy one and plug it in the back. a lot of receivers will have them built in, even more so the ones with pre amps.
optical cables do support 5.1, but nothing beyond that. if you are wanting 7.1 you need to go straight HDMI. that being said, optical is not a good cable for surround sound.
Why would you plug a optical cable if your sound is coming out of the stereo and not the tv? If everything is connected to the stereo you don't need sound coming out of the tv. There's nothing connected to the tv
King_ Yodeep I thought the same thing. There's no need for the optical cable if you're running the signal from the ps3 to the receiver. The receiver is processing the audio while routing the video to the TV. Also, optical cables can only send 6 channels (5.1). If you want to do more than 5.1 you're going to need a hdmi cable. The only reason I run an optical cable from my TV to my receiver is for when I'm using built in apps on my TV, such as Netflix or Spotify. It's all about signal routing. Source to destination.
i am going to say it is probably for if you are getting an aerial signal. aerial to the tv, then optical to the receiver, that being said. if you are using an aerial in 2019, you seriously need to question yourself.
@@ronsonroll you don't need to put it in the sat/cable port, all hdmi ports on these receivers are neutral. they accept same signal from each. it's just labeled that way so idiots won't forget.
What kind of cable do I need for the subwoofer? Is it RCA on both ends, or is it y-cable with two RCA in on end with "headphone connector on the other end?
the digital audio is if you don't have an arc connection on the back of your TV. like if you were to use the in app smart tv apps. such as youtube or netflix. arc is a two way format, so if you have arc on your tv, and don't use a device. but just watch netflix on your smart TV. you can use either arc which sends sound to your receiver, or an optical digital cable if your tv doesn't have arc.
@@demonpride1975 My old receiver doesn't have arc but does have digital audio. However, when I connect this receiver to my tv using only digital audio (toslink) I don't get any sound when using spotify or local movies. Are you saying this is supposed to work?
@@Heinous303 if you are connecting the toslink from your tv to the receiver, that should send audio to it. i would recommend making sure the cable isn't cracked, as these toslink cables are delicate.
if you have say a set of pc speakers that have an optical port on them, that would work. like say the logitech z5500, they have optical in so you could connect them to the speakers.
My computer Doesn't have Bluetooth ... And I have my PC plugged into HDMI Port one..... And I want to make this Bluetooth , for my Bluetooth headphones. I just purchased a Bluetooth Receiver, And I don't know what port to use .....What input would I plug into?
The back of mine looks like mission control at NASA. Doesn't look like this one. I just need to know to where the speakers hook up. I hope it's not those that require speaker jacks to plug in. My speakers require spring clips or something like them.
I'm using the STR-DN1050 and I'm running Wharfedale diamond 220's all around with the front set bi-wired and a wharfedale 150 sub, the sound quality and power of this set up is unbelievable, make sure you use good quality speaker cable. Hope this helps.
no the receiver is just that a receiver, hdmi is a neutral signal, the receiver doesn't know if it's just sony, but that it is an hdmi signal. that's why receivers can be bought by themselves. and you can using any speakers, unless of course the speakers that sony has designed come with special features for said receiver.
Exactly right man, if tv support hdmi ARC and amplifier too, no need optical at all, i use it, both is is must support it and yet is must be good hdmi in between, it will works, with bad hdmi may not work
Hey, I want to ask something, i connected my DSP A970 Yamaha with my PC using an RCA to Aux cable, connected on the amp 2 front speakers and 2 rear, set the playback settings on my PC to Quadraphonic (2 front 2 rear) but i don't get clear/vocals sound from the front ones and i can barely hear vocals in the 2 rear ones. what am i doing wrong?

Why use optical from tv to the receiver when the HDMI arc sends the signal both ways?
optical allows for higher quality of audio to be sent to the receiver, because it doesn't have to convert from digital to analog in the HDMI cables and then back to digital for the speakers
My sony theater system don't have a optical audio cable it just has the yellow white and red cable. What should I do
If you mean AV cables (audio/visual), you can use an AV to HDMI adapter. Enko makes a really good one.
For bx300 model
Wow
Can you use instead of PS3 Fat, use PS4?
any hdmi device will work. it's just a neutral port, they are not dedicated ports. that's not how HDMI works.
What the name of the wire that's put into the black and red
Speaker wire lol

My TV is wall mounted how do I connect it to the receiver?
Frank Romano the same way you would a normal tv? Is it a wallpaper?
i just have an optical cable going from my TV to my receiver, why do i need an hdmi going from reciever to TV, doesnt the optical take care of the sound?? im confused
@Curt ¡s when you don't have any clue what you are talking, please don't talking. This is optical Toslink for digital audio streams. He needed HDMI also because of the video transfer. At the time not every TV had HDMI with ARC functionality (audio return channel)
If your TV have a HDMI port with ARC then you don't need the optical cable. This video is 5 years old. Nowadays you only need HDMI for audio and video. However, both the AV receiver HDMI port and the TV must have the additional HDMI ARC.
If i use a HDMI Port why have to use a optical cable (tv yo receiver) for to go back the sound to receiver???????????
If your receiver is much older it may not have hdmi audio return, or if it is newer, you may need to enable it on both the receiver and the tv. Varies by receiver and manufacturer but if the hdmi monitor out has ARC, you don't necessarily have to have the optical. Look up your receiver brand/model/year and see if it supports ARC. Lots of videos on CZcams about ARC.
can it be added an equalizer device
if your receiver doesn't have an eq built in, you would have to buy one and plug it in the back. a lot of receivers will have them built in, even more so the ones with pre amps.
im pretty sure that optical doesnt support anything over 5.1 .... but arc does so ... if you want to do it that way
optical cables do support 5.1, but nothing beyond that. if you are wanting 7.1 you need to go straight HDMI. that being said, optical is not a good cable for surround sound.
Why would you plug a optical cable if your sound is coming out of the stereo and not the tv? If everything is connected to the stereo you don't need sound coming out of the tv. There's nothing connected to the tv
King_ Yodeep I thought the same thing. There's no need for the optical cable if you're running the signal from the ps3 to the receiver. The receiver is processing the audio while routing the video to the TV. Also, optical cables can only send 6 channels (5.1). If you want to do more than 5.1 you're going to need a hdmi cable. The only reason I run an optical cable from my TV to my receiver is for when I'm using built in apps on my TV, such as Netflix or Spotify. It's all about signal routing. Source to destination.
Why would you use a optical just use a hdmi cable for digital sound
i am going to say it is probably for if you are getting an aerial signal. aerial to the tv, then optical to the receiver, that being said. if you are using an aerial in 2019, you seriously need to question yourself.
Where does my cable box sit in this configuration? That's my problem I think.
Plug the HDMI into the SAT/CAT V input or you'll have to use Component & Optical/Phono connections instead.
@@ronsonroll you don't need to put it in the sat/cable port, all hdmi ports on these receivers are neutral. they accept same signal from each. it's just labeled that way so idiots won't forget.
@@demonpride1975 hahahahhaa good shit. I was about to say that, it's just label for that. But they all work the same xD
❤️❤️❤️
Tambien necesito el control remoto, luego de repararlo...
What kind of cable do I need for the subwoofer? Is it RCA on both ends, or is it y-cable with two RCA in on end with "headphone connector on the other end?
If you have a phono port on your sub and a phono port on your A/V then use a single phono cable to connect up the sub. Hope this helps.
sgtcojonez does anyone know if it's possible to hook up a coffee Alpine CD changer to a home receiver
you should just need an rca cable, the receiver should have it labeled on the back.
Why would you need to connect both HDMI and Digital Audio?
the digital audio is if you don't have an arc connection on the back of your TV. like if you were to use the in app smart tv apps. such as youtube or netflix. arc is a two way format, so if you have arc on your tv, and don't use a device. but just watch netflix on your smart TV. you can use either arc which sends sound to your receiver, or an optical digital cable if your tv doesn't have arc.
@@demonpride1975 My old receiver doesn't have arc but does have digital audio. However, when I connect this receiver to my tv using only digital audio (toslink) I don't get any sound when using spotify or local movies. Are you saying this is supposed to work?
@@Heinous303 if you are connecting the toslink from your tv to the receiver, that should send audio to it. i would recommend making sure the cable isn't cracked, as these toslink cables are delicate.
I have speakers in my walls how do i connect/use them?
Do you have access to the wires to the speakers?
emmett fjrod no
DannyGames_5 ok, I’m your room do you have empty plates? (Like light switches but with nothing on it?
emmett fjrod yea there’s one down stairs
DannyGames_5 ok open those up with a screwdriver and they should be there.
Were would you connect a projector? Is it basically the same concept
With HDMI 2 input
@andrew-lw9yb ima be honest I don't even remeber why I typed that it was so long ago 😭

how can I connect speakers to tv without amplifier?
Can't :/
if you have say a set of pc speakers that have an optical port on them, that would work. like say the logitech z5500, they have optical in so you could connect them to the speakers.
My computer Doesn't have Bluetooth ... And I have my PC plugged into HDMI Port one..... And I want to make this Bluetooth , for my Bluetooth headphones. I just purchased a Bluetooth Receiver, And I don't know what port to use .....What input would I plug into?
Get a Mac.
@@MrKen-wy5dk you would plug the bluetooth receiver into your pc, not the tv. there is no interface in the tv to connect it.
How do I get surround sound from TV a Baird Jo 32
Olá. ganhei um str DE 485 só que não sei conectar na TV. qual cabo compro?
The back of mine looks like mission control at NASA. Doesn't look like this one. I just need to know to where the speakers hook up. I hope it's not those that require speaker jacks to plug in. My speakers require spring clips or something like them.
Is this unit only compatible with Sony products? And where can I find speakers for it? Will any speakers do?
I'm using the STR-DN1050 and I'm running Wharfedale diamond 220's all around with the front set bi-wired and a wharfedale 150 sub, the sound quality and power of this set up is unbelievable, make sure you use good quality speaker cable. Hope this helps.
no the receiver is just that a receiver, hdmi is a neutral signal, the receiver doesn't know if it's just sony, but that it is an hdmi signal. that's why receivers can be bought by themselves. and you can using any speakers, unless of course the speakers that sony has designed come with special features for said receiver.
what amp is that ?
Lsks
If your TV does support ARC then you do not need an optical (tosslink/S PDIF) cable.
right~!
That one kinda threw me off thanks for comment! 👍
Exactly right man, if tv support hdmi ARC and amplifier too, no need optical at all, i use it, both is is must support it and yet is must be good hdmi in between, it will works, with bad hdmi may not work
