    This is awesome! I just ordered my x3600h this morning and I love seeing how to videos for it. I hope you keep doing more of these videos. Maybe x3600h speaker buying guides (budget and average consumer) or top5 x3600h 2 channel external setups since the 3chan external amps cost 2much. Something like this would be great for people like me putting together their first home theater piece by piece 🤘🤘

    The reason Outlaw labels the channels the way they do is for heat dissipation. If you are using all 5 channels or even just left and right the layout is to keep heat from building up on just one side.

      @@randyhunt1581 While it works when wired different as mentioned by the video but it does matter when it warms up because heat will impact the sound quality as temperature will shift how well the amps work. The left, center, and right channels are used much more the the surround speakers so they will generate more heat than the surrounds so you want to separate them for max heat disappation.

      can you tell me how to assign front left/right to external amp or even the full 5 ground speakers. How do you chose pre out for those speakers.
      X3700 has a pre-out tab in speaker menu. But not the x3600h.
      X3600h only gives you pre-out options when setting up 11.1 speakers. (front and height only)
      Or is it automatic? When hooking up pre-out cables + trigger, and hooking up speakers to external amp...
      I am totally confused about this. Just bought a x3600 second hand.
      Thnx

  • @bigbadpatches
    @bigbadpatches Před 4 lety +2

    I've read from audioholics that on the Denon 3600H only (2) channels either your front left and right or Height 2 speakers truly actually get the full benefit of an external 2channel Amp, when powering a 7.2.4 dolby atmos set up. Also that a true pre amp disconnect from the Denon x3600 reciever only happens to the front L and R channels and Height 2 speakers in that 11speaker format (7.2.4). So there is no benefit from using a 3 channel amp or 5 channel amp to really give juice to your speakers if the 3600H Reciever won't really allow this. Does this seem accurate to you, Techno Dad?

  • @ajaysinghaca
    @ajaysinghaca Před 4 lety +3

    Good and simple explanation. However I’m having trouble getting a signal from the pre-outs on my Marantz SR6013. What settings do I need to tweak in the receiver?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes! That's how I ran my X4400H when I had a 5 channel amp for the five ear level speakers in my 5.1.4 setup. The Denon would power the height channels. You can run it in many different ways. Externally power the front three channels and have the Denon power the rest.

  • @pinoy1hitko
    @pinoy1hitko Před 3 lety +3

    So what happens when you hook it up to a 5 channel amplifier, like the Outlaw 5000? Since it only lets you pre out 2 channels to disconnect the amplifier in the AVR, do you just lose the power in the AVR from the center/surround? I'm referring to hooking up the LCR + SL, SR. I saw audioholics review and they said only the higher models lets you fully disconnect all channels to pre-out mode, but didn't explain of what happens to the other channels hooked up to an external amp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • @barenecessities5354
    @barenecessities5354 Před 3 lety +2

    Great video as always! Thanks a lot. I do have a question though. You are showing the physical connections here. Some configuration need to be changed on the AVR setting in speaker configuration menu. Would you please explain how you can reassign the front 2 channels to an external amp (lets say with a 2 channel amp) and use rest of the 7 channels (in a 5.1.4 setup) with this AVR's builtin amp? I read you can disconnect the internal amp completely for the front 2 channels when using pre-outs with an external amp. What is the added benefit of that separation? I just bought a X3600h and trying to see if I should add an external amp for my 5.1.4 setup mostly to give headrooms to my front 2 or 3 channels. TIA.

      @VallaNFreyja Před 4 lety

      @@eviewalla-ayala471 I'm not sure how many channels you have on the amplifier, but attaching the FL, FR is recommended, followed by the center channel. As far as connection goes, from the pre-amp out on your AVR to the inputs on the amplifier; output of the amplifier to the speaker. Hope this makes sense.
      Some AVRs allow you to bi amp from unused channels, such as the x4600 and new higher end AVRs. I'd recommend playing around with the speaker settings in your AVR before you invest in an amp.
      If you have a good AVR, I'm hoping you have good speakers to complement. Check out another video in this channel about bi-wiring and bi-amping and how to. Makes quite the difference in audio transmission qualities.
      Good luck and welcome to audiophile level listening and configs!

    But the soul wants to sing.
    I want to connect karaoke from the computer, but I also need to add a microphone, this is where the problem arises for me, I don’t know how to implement it.
    I guess that I need a mixer so that the music and my voice can be heard from the acoustics together, but what kind of mixer is needed and how to connect and configure it all. Can you help me with this issue? Thanks!

    Any benefit to daisy chaining a trigger out to the external Amp and from avr through my power conditioner to turn on the external Amp? There is a 1 second delay bypassing the trigger out in the power conditioner, so it seems OK the way you set up per the video, but would like to confirm. Thanks.

    Can you explain using Blasters vs Triggers vs RS232 vs just a hub? I’m trying to make ease of use for others. Not much info at all on RS232 but more of home automation. 12v triggers just for powering on? Is that a constant 12vs? Blasters vs a Harmony remote? My receiver have inputs for 4 blasters but I don’t know if it could actually control the other devices well or not.

  • @defkon99
    @defkon99 Před rokem

    You explained this very well. I'm using an Denon DRA-800H AVR and a Emotiva BasX A2 power amp. Using Preouts on Zone 2 (on AVR no other preouts) into the BasX. One thing I noticed is the sound is flat compared to speakers connected to the AVR (DRA-800H). Is this because the preout cleans up any sound processing that happens within the receiver? If so how can I go about getting that big sound into my power amp? thanks to you or anyone who can help answer my q's.

    • @TechnoDad
      @TechnoDad  Před rokem

      Thanks for watching! I don’t think that behavior is due to the processing. Some say the amp has a sound signature all on its own. So maybe you are hearing the differences between the 800H and the BasX? I’m not sure as I don’t usually notice those kinds of differences.

    @techno dad, if you connect an AVR to a 9 channel amp like the monolith, is there a way where you can drive 5 zones? So one home theater setup using the Denon's amp for that room and then using the preouts to send two channels per zone for 4 separate rooms in a basement? I'm pretty sure I could wire it all, but not sure what control I have over each of the channels. Any recommendations?

    Is there a subwoofer input on the amp or do you run the sub through the AVR. And if so doesn't the higher output going through the speakers cause the subwoofer to play lower because your playing the AVR at a lower volume even though the speakers are louder because of the power amp

    @Techno Dad - I know you mentioned it earlier in the video, but the manual (to my knowledge) didn't explicitly mention it, it only ever mentions adding a 2 channel amp to enable 11.x, or attaching amps to all the pre-outs for up to 11.x ... so is it confirmed for 11.x (7.1.4) we can simply add a 2 to or more channel amp to the appropriate pre-outs and have the AVR handle the rest?. ie a 7 channel external amp for the floor speakers, and have the AVR handle the 4 height speakers? thank you.
