Great video this helped me get my old receiver to work with my new TV. Thanks! 😁

Wow..thank you so much for this video. This is far the easiest guide to follow. I bought this amp today for a bargain price (seems people are going for soundbars nowadays) I connected everything up with ease and also set up the Amazon stick using a battery pack for power..something I learned from this video and didn't realise I could do. I am so happy with having big bass from my sub and clear sound thorough the other speakers. Top video

New follower ,Thank you ,I dusted off my rca receiver from 2013 and followed your instructions connecting my ps4 to receiver then TV and it worked!

Awesome video! Thats exactly what I needed.

Thanks a lot for your vedeo. It's so helpful. We've bought receiver for long time and have not figured out how to connect with our TV. Finally we found your video. Your video helped us out. Thank you so much!

I have a onkyo receiver and installed a equalizer, works great on CD player, not sure how to get it working on tuner for the radio. Thanks

Such a helpful video!! Everytime I move apartments, I forget

Well I just ended taking it all back to the store. I was waiting for a response from you but you never said anything🤷🏽‍♀️. You liked the comment but didn’t answer any of the questions. It’s cool though at least I was able to get my money back. I just really thought you would’ve responded because you sound so convincing about people asking you questions and you answering them. Thanks anyways 😊

Exactly what I needed...thanks!!

I was pulling my hair out yesterday. I bought a tv and it was delivered. Before taking it out of the box I found the manual online and realized there's no hookups for my rca cables (r/w/y) and I also have a set ared and white for audio. I did some Google searches and found there's all kinds of adapters out there for the rca cables but never came across one for the r/w audio cables. Your video is the only one I've seen so far and you mentioned both issue. I will check your links now. Thanks so much for sharing!

That PS4, hovering over receiver. It's an amazing idea🤯

This was very helpful! Thank you!

omGOSH! just found your Help video! i too have an Onkyo receiver that i am attempting to connect my new Visio M tv to my receiver and speakers. Thank you so much. must send to my son and go over my wires that i have to see if I have an HDMI..... thank you so much ! happy holidays

Thank you for a great video, simple well explained without all the extra confusing unnecessary dribble some other KZfaqrs throw in, seriously not interested in hearing about your cat your car and your landlord

Only 1:25 in and you made me realize what I was doing wrong thank you for the knowledge

Thanks for this video. Now I can keep using my older receiver, which sounds much better than the newer ones (they seem to be skimping on the power transformers these days since my old JVC is almost twice the weight of the newer home theater receivers.) Long live old receivers!! Thanks, bud!

Thats exactly what I needed. 👍

Thanks a lot for the vid, waiting for the device to arrive I can’t wait to see if my problem is solved

Thank you so much. Your video helped me connect my new smart tv to my onkyo receiver

Thank you for your video. I just got confused, since I have SmartTv. Every time I choose Netflix/KZfaq. My speaker doesn’t provide any sound. I have the converter already, plugged my cable box in it. It works, but my question how can I make my TV’s sound to the receiver. Thank you in advance.

I could not get my system to play sound out the speaker I connected my cable box to the back of my receiver and it's working! Thank you so much

So so helpful! Thank you!

You’re the GOAT!!! Thanks so much

Thanks so much ,Now maybe I can figure this out lol !

Hey! super helpful. Can you do a demonstration with an old receiver and a projector.

Thank you this was very helpful

Hi just watch your video. So informative. I want to ask some question bout my unit. Thanks !

This video came as close to helping me get my older Yamaha surround system (with no HDMI setup with a 201? Samsung TV. with HDMI ARC.I hope he can answer a few more issues to finish up.. Good work and Thank you.

Please help I have an older Klipsch HD Theater 300 will a Pyle PFA560BT (100 watts) have enough power to run all the speakers ? Or 5x20watt be enough for the speakers. Speakers are rated at 100watts and the Pyle PFA560BT has a sub out plus two HDMI in and one out

hi came across your video and had a question. i have an older pioneer receiver 5.1 with hdmi but the hdmi out (arc) was damaged. i just wanted to know if it would be possible to wire the receiver without using the hdmi connections on my computer and tv.

Thanks for video one question i have is i run a cable box so i get the connections i have the hdmi connections so after i run the out to tv and the cable box to the stereo when inturn stereo on what input doni set the stereo to to listn to tv i use the cd input for my bluetooth listening

I was just curious about something that maybe you could help me with. I purchased a high end Yamaha receiver back in the days of the HD DVD and PS3. I am not sure how long ago that was but it was a long time ago. Anyway, I still have the receiver and I use it all the timebecause it has amazing sound. I recently purchased a 4k 120hz 65" TV and want to take advantage of all the new technology on the TV. The speakers on the TV sound ok but not what I am used to. From what I understand the optical cable is limiting what my receiver can do with the information it is receiving from my TV. The first part of my question is that for some reason I can't get my receiver to work without using an optical cable. I really don't understand why this is. I have tried everything I can think of in the settings of the TV and the receiver but can't seem to fix the problem. I have two HDMI inputs in my receiver and one HDMI output. The TV has one normal HDMI input I think and four 4k HDMI inputs. The second part of my question is should I hook all of my other components like my PS4, laptop, PS3 etc directly into the TV and then down to my receiver or from the receiver to the TV? Also does it matter what type of HDMI cables I use? The receiver has all the bells and whistles that were out at the time so 10.2 surround, THX, DTS, etc.

Thank you for your help

Knock knock. I could really use some help on a Saturday. Bought an HDMI audio converter. Trying to hook up tv to Acurus A110 preamp. I looked at the product you linked and it says it will NOT send audio. I bought the same thing from Avedio. Do you have to have a convertor that says ARC to be able to send sound from tv to stereo? That's what I'm trying to do and I got zip so far. Cheers and thanks.

Thank you! I had the HDMI cords plugged in properly but no sound.

Got a new last years model LG OLED. Cut the cable and bought Roku streaming stick. All works fine accept the remote does not turn on the AVR. Since my stick is plugged into back of AVR nothing until powered up. Can the Roku be set up to turn on TV & AVR and control volume with the one remote?

Thanks!

Thank you for helping me!

Awesome thanks 🙏

Finally got a ps5... went to hook up and our receiver is an older yamaha with no hdmi... can I run hdmi to our Tv (old but great picture DLP) then run an optic from the tv to the receiver?

Hi, thanks for the video, I am still having trouble, I have a Harman kardon 141 5.1 home theater, if I connect anything to AVR and then from the AVR to TV, I dont have the sound, only the video. Do I need to use the 3 color cables also?

Thanks👍

Thanks for your video. Does this device work for a turn table with RC cables? Also can I use a multi USB plug to plug in more than one of the devices? And the link for the plug one does not work.

Good job

I really enjoy my old Yamaha receiver. I want to connect with a new smart Samsung tv. Can I use the extractor used in your video? Please explain what connects from the receiver to extractor. The TV has no RCA connectors and the receiver has no HDMI ports. Thanks!

What about the optical cable? My receiver/amplifier is Dolby digital with an optical cable but no HDMI. What then? well I still have to get that descrambler unit? Also whether or not I need a scrambler are there any unique settings on my new TCL 5 smart TV that will help (better) mesh the old receiver speakers with the new TV picture timing? If at all necessary... thank you.

I have my laptop connected via HDMI to my TV to stream movies and shows, do I still hook up my surround sound receiver through the HDMI ARC to my TV? Thanks for your help and thanks for the videos

Ok I got a new Samsung TV with all hdmi ports 2.1 120hz and I have a ps5 and a xbox series x. But my reciever is a Onkyo Tx-Rz900 and does not have a arc hdmi port. Is it possible to still use my e-arc from my TV to my reciever ? I don't wanna lose picture quality but I want the sound to go thru my reciever .

I need some specific advice. I am suffereing fromo 5.1 speaker distortion. Is there a way that we can communicate to get your help? In summary my situation is this. The cab;e input is direct into a Vizio 55 inch smart tv. An HDMI output runs to a Onkyo TX-NR626 receiver. The Onkyo drives a 5.1 surround sound system. The speakers (mainly the middle front) give out a distorted sound when the volume is above low-medium. There are two volume controls, one on the Vizio and the second on the Onkyo.that I have tried to balance with no luck. Can you help?

I just bought a package of klipsch rp -280f, rp-160m, rp-440c and r-112 sub all premiere. A couple things. 1: what else do i need. what kind of reciever works best with klipsch systems and i want to get speakers for dolby atmos, so i need alot of channels. I also want to be able to use it with my tv to eatch netflix, and commect my pc and play in 4k 120hz (is this even possible? I can do it on my oled but do recievers have hdmi 2.1 or 2.1 passthrough?) 2: these speakers, are they a good combo? I want the best speakers in that series, and i don't know how to tell them all apart. I know the rp 280f are the best (in this particular lineup) ut i have no idea about the other speakers. Thanks in advance😊

I have a Sony HDMI arc I wanted to go to my old fashion receiver that are RCA plugs so it would come out of their speakers and receiver speakers with this unit you’re talking about will I do it

Hello Review King I have an older Onkyo Receiver and 6 CD changer hooked up to my surround sound. Until 2 years ago, the system was connected to my TV via Component connections and the display and sound was fine. Since 2 years, I have an HDMI TV and the Component connections stopped working. I have tried a component to HDMI and it does not work. I saw a video showing how I had to open the Onkyp and change the diode(?) on the mother board. I am not going to mess with that. My HDMI has 3 regular and 1 eARC HDMI connections. The onkyo has 2 HDMI in and 1 HDMI out and 3 component in and 1 component out and 2 coax. The TV does not have any coax. If possible, I would like to reverse and play the TV sound on the Onkyo. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

So I just got a new Sony Bravia TV that only has hdmi ports. I have an old Sony S master digital amplifier that connects to 5 speakers and a subwoofer. The amplifier only has rca ports for audio in. I want the sound from the tv to go through the amplifier to the 5 speakers and subwoofer. Which converter should I get? Thanks

Why didn't you plug the plugs into the back of the receiver where it showed "TV IN" from the HDMI converter. I noticed you put it into the game ports. I want the sound coming from the TV into my receiver then out of my speakers. Just curious...

Will that HDMI audio extractor work with the HDMI ARC input from my TV?

When a receiver have a Optical input, does that mean i can send the audio from my tv's optical out to the receiver and play the sound of the tv on the stereo receiver?

Thanks for the video. I have an Onkyo TX-SR503 receiver with no HDMI ports. The receiver is fully connected to a surround sound setup, but due to a new cable box with only HDM in & Out the HDMI from the cable box is going only to the TV. What is the best option to connect the receiver to the cable box and then to the TV? Component or RCA from receiver to converter and then HDMI from converter to cable box? Then HDMI Out from Cable box to TV HDMI? Any best practices are appreciated!

Thank You. God bless you all and your families 🙏🏽✝️🛐🛐

How can I get my sound bar to connect to TV with Roku plugged into one port, and PS5 into the other? I only have two HDMI ports and I can't figure out how to get my soundbar to function while using both of them. Any advice?

I have an older Sony sterero/cd receiver with RCA and purchased a Samsung Smart TV with only HDMI and USB. I am trying to get my surround Sony speakers to work with the TV. They work just fine if I am playing a music cd.

I habe an old tv that halls 1 hdmi input. There is an audio out rca. I am wanting to use this to have the audio go to a speaker that has rca audio input. It doesn't seem to work for audio from the firestick plugged In to the hdmi. Is audio out only for the rca input channels?

This is great! I'm trying to hook up a cheap RCA hd tv to an old Technics receiver (way before hdmi) and already bought a digital to analog converter. However, I wasn't aware that HDMI converters exisisted and therefore my converter does not have HDMI but rather coaxial out from the tv and into the converter. Should this work, or should I buy another converter? Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks!

What about if you just wanted to do the receiver to the tv no system like a game system, dvd system etc?

Need some help please. Got the hubs an Onkyo TX-ST393 for an upgrade for his 20 year old surround sound.
