see that some are having issues with the Sony STR-DH590 sound set up dialing in the SW because the 'on screen' GUI only has limited options. have that model coming in the mail and have been reading (hearing?) all I can prior to installation. got the 5.1 Klipsch's myself to match up with this unit. a post by the cheapaudioman not recommending the unit because of this hassle has really thrown cold water on my expectations. I just may go all manual with the thing. as yet have the Klipsch's hooked up to a mini-amp (Fosi BT30D Pro) and they sound great.

Voices sounds great from the center channel just not getting the Dolby Digital 5.1 separation. When the system is set up using Dolby digital for 5.1 my center channel audio gets very muddy but I get the effects going to all the other channels. Is there something in the setup that needs to change or I should check ? Thanks in advance.

We’d just like to use the TV’s speakers for news programs and regular TV shows.

Great video, I was wondering if you can explain the "crossover frequency" and what is the optimum setpoint, I've got mine at 140 but the max setting is 160. My speakers and receiver are old (Polk 6751 and a Sony STR -DG500).

@ealanosborne 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! And the crossover frequency is where you tell the receiver to split the difference between a speaker and the subwoofer. Basically where the subwoofer will take over with low frequency sound. Those Polk 6751 speakers' frequency response dips down to 40 Hz, so you typically want to set the crossover frequency 10-20 Hz above that. So I'd go with 60 Hz, for example. Make sense? 😀

@wesvill7565 2 жыл бұрын

Make sense, I appreciate the information. that was really helpful, I do notice a difference in the quality of the sound. By the way, does setting it up higher than 60 harm the speakers?

@ealanosborne 2 жыл бұрын

@@wesvill7565 No, not at all. You could set any speaker’s crossover to 150 Hz, but then you’re robbing the speaker of some mid-low frequencies that help give it a fuller sound. THX standard is 80 Hz, so you could also test that to see if it works better in your situation.

Any pros/cons to to plugging all hdmi cables into receiver theme one from the “out” to the tv vs all connected to the tv the tv and receiver connected via arc? As in, if your equipment is capable of both, is there still a reason to do one way or the other?

@ealanosborne 2 жыл бұрын

Just depends on your situation. Example: I have a media closet somewhat away from my TV, so I plug my Switch directly into my TV for a more direct connection to the Joycon controllers. Also, if you have a PS5 or XBOX Series X - since receivers have had HDMI 2.1/4K @ 120Hz problems - plugging that directly into the TV bypasses any issues like that. Otherwise, it’s usually fine to plug everything into a receiver. 👍

My new Onn TV does not want to recognize the computer if the HDMI comes from the output of the reciever, only if the HDMI from the computer is connected directly to TV. Although come to think of it, in both cases I have connected the Optical cable from TV to the reciever if that makes a difference. I wonder why it would. Also when I go on KZfaq which I spent most my time at, Playing youtube directly from TV and receiver, the sound is 20 times louder, than through the computer. It almost gave me a heart attack today when I happen to stumble on it. I just purchased this tv yesterday. My previous TV was able to recognize the computer either way. The previous TV had one HDMI. and this one has 4 but that just gives you 4 HDMI options. My reciever has 4 hdmi input.

@ealanosborne 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, the Klipsch Reference Theater Pack is a set of passive speakers, meaning they can’t power themselves, and need to be powered by a receiver (connected via speaker wire). Sony STR-DH590, Denon S650H are good 5.1 channel baseline receivers. 👍

@ealanosborne 26 күн бұрын

Yes, you can use standard banana plugs with the style of speaker terminals that are on the receiver in this particular video (they’re called 5-way binding posts). With spring loaded speaker terminals, since the hole to insert the speaker wire is smaller, you’d want to get “pin banana plugs,” since they have skinnier tips. 👍

Thanks

@bighands69 2 жыл бұрын

No you cannot have a center speaker as your system is a stereo so that means your sound is going to be two speakers only. Stereo sound does not need a center speaker and has an excellent sound on its own. Stereo is good enough for high end music systems and can be good enough for home theater. Before proper high quality 5.1 came along my home theater system was stereo and to be honest it was amazing.

If I want to run an Xbox Series X, a receiver and a projector, everything goes IN to the receiver and the only thing going OUT of the receiver is to the projector? I haven’t purchased the receiver yet but some advertise as having only 1 HDMI input. This setup would exclude me from adding any other audio source (like a turntable for music), correct?

@ealanosborne Жыл бұрын

If everything is connected to the receiver, yes - you would only need 1 HDMI cable going out to your projector. Most receivers nowadays have many HDMI inputs - at least 4, I think. And a lot come with phono input support for a turntable. So if it also has a phono input, you’re golden. 🤘

Audio-wise, they should sound the same. Although a lot of 5.1 AVRs nowadays are CEC compatible over HDMI which allows you to control volume and other features via your TV remote. So that’s nice, in case you don’t have line of sight to your AVR (like me, since mine is in a media closet). You can’t get CEC control over Optical. Something to consider. 👍

Hello friend. My receiver is shutting off when the sound gets to a climatic part in whatever it is I am watching. Any idea why this is happening?@@ealanosborne

Thank you but i have a problem… I have a pioneer 5.1 surround system and i connect both of my ps5 and my benq projector to the receiver and it works but the sound are only coming from the projector not from the speakers

@ealanosborne 4 ай бұрын

Is the BenQ projector connected to the HDMI output? Maybe also make sure HDMI Passthrough is turned off in the menu?

Do you have a recommendation on what frequency I should set my satellites speakers and subwoofer be at? I currently have the satellites set at 110hz and the subwoofer at 120 hz. Just wondering if you recommend anything different for this klipsch theatre pack 5.1 set up. I didn’t hear you reference it in this video.

@ealanosborne 2 жыл бұрын

I’d set them both to 120 Hz. I know the satellite speakers can go down to 110Hz, but a little buffer of 10Hz is good to have. 👍

@@ealanosborne Sorry but this might be a very basic question, does that mean if I set the satellites at 120hz, any frequency below 120hz will be routed to the subwoofer instead?

@@warrior15r correct. So the subwoofer handles all the low-end audio, since those little satellites can’t go that low at all. 👍

120 Hz, since the Theater Pack satellites only reproduce sounds down to 110 Hz. So the sub will fill in the rest. 🤘

I have an old Sony STR-K7000 that 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 front VIDEO3 (RCA) and the sound comes out from the receiver. Thanks for your video/reply.

Hey Ealan, Just getting into all this Dolby Atmos and just purchased 7.2 Denon AVR. I have a question. My Sony Bravia (8 yrs old) does not have an ARC HDMI input. Will this affect the 7.2 sound output? If so is there way of getting around this? Luv your vlogs thx!

@ealanosborne 2 жыл бұрын

It just means you won’t be able to have sound go from your TV to the Denon via HDMI, if you frequently use the smart apps directly from your TV (Netflix, Hulu, etc). But you can still get 5.1 surround playing from your TV to the Denon via Optical/Toslink, which your TV should definitely have an output labeled as such. But if you have all your entertainment components plugged directly into the Denon, and you don’t use your TVs smart apps, then having ARC doesn’t matter. 👍

A Sony rep said I could connect my Sony soundbar HT-MT 300/301 to the sony STR-DH590 for more juice in my sound is this true? Would that work?

@ealanosborne 3 жыл бұрын

I’m not familiar with that soundbar at all, so your guess is as good as mine. The HT-MT300 doesn’t seem to have any audio outputs - just inputs - and those inputs are limited to optical and 3.5mm. The only outputs on the DH590 are from the speaker terminals or HDMI, so you’d have to get a little creative with adapters just to make it work. I’m not seeing it, but I’d love for a Sony rep to show me how it’s done, because I’d be very interested in knowing how to pull that off. 🙌
