@@diybuildandlife207 Good video i have a doubt my hometheater has an hdmi video arc port if i conect a 4k firestick there i will get 4k image or not ? Thanks a lot
@@JJOOKER i am not quite sure. You may want to hook up and see what the display is showing
Thankyou sir I've been looking a tutorial like this for my home home theater
You are welcome. Kindly subscribe to my channel.
Thank you very much sir... Recently I installed fire TV to my denon 3800x receiver.
Great
You don’t have to say Alexa if you are pushing the button. Just say the command. Nice video
your voice is awesome sir
Thank you
I was looking for a 4k streaming device Nvidia shield pro TV apparently does not support projectors This will work for my theater system
Thanks alot
Thank you.
I have a TV with 2 HDMI Port and 1 HDMI ARC Port. Can I connect the Fire stick to one of the HDMI Port and home theatre (5.1) to HDMI ARC Port? Will that provide 5.1 surround sound?
Yes I believe it will. Try it out
@@diybuildandlife207 My TV doesn't have support for Dolby Audio. So can I run Dolby Digital 5.1 by using an Amazon Fire stick ( connected with my Sony HT S20R 5.1)?
Great Video i have the same setup but why the sounds low and no vibrations as bass? still low..
I think you watched the one where I had a Klipsch subwoofer. I have since upgraded to dual matrycubes. Check out that video and the effects.
Not bad at all. I'm in the projector game as well. Feel free to ask me anything about easy setups

Hey man, how do you recommend to set up the audio? Usually I can find good projectors in my price range, but I'm unsure about how to get the audio from the Fire Stick to a soundbar. I don't wanna snake wires along the ground. Are bluetooth soundbars an option?
@@thatsreallyamoon good morning you have two options. You can run a HDMI cord from your projector to your audio sources( soundbar with HDMI ports ) and its safe to plug your Firestick directly into your soundbar if it has 2 HDMI ports.
@@thatsreallyamoon or you can use a Bluetooth soundbar with subwoofer to get that nice bass
@@martinez1984eldrick what about audio lag with Bluetooth?
Hello and thanks for sharing.
I'm setting up a home theater in my basement, all new construction. Are you using an alexa compatible socket for the projector to turn it on? If not, how are you controlling the projector with alexa? I have a vankyo v360w projector. Thank you.
Sorry I'm brand new to home automation. 😁
Thanks for watching. Good luck with the construction. You don't need any specific alexa compatible switches. The fire tv stick will automatically control your projector if you can find it in the manage equipment list when you set up the fire tv stick. That is how it also controls the receiver etc because it has prebuilt codes available for the devices in it's list.

Ok thank you. I'm not sure if my projector is compatible. What can I do if it's not?
Thanks for watching. Kindly subscribe to my channel.
@@kpdiver1703 I am not sure. If it does not work, you may need to upgrade your projector or use separate remotes.
@@STUDIOAE thank you for watching. Kindly subscribe to my channel. If the device is not on the list you can still teach it the commands I believe.
Hello DIY Build and Life. I have recently bought myself a 4K Firestick to use on my LG 75' Tv and my LG surround sound home theatre system. I have problems getting the surround sound on when watching Firestick, The surround sound works fine with just my cable tv, I have noticed when the sound does come thru the 5.1 speakers and the surround sound unit displays the word ARC. I cant seem to get it to work again. Any ideas please?
Regards
Nick
I am sorry. I did not have this issue on mine.
Our receiver (Samsung) is in an A/V closet upstairs from the tv connected to the home theater/surround sound. Will a firestick still work in this situation? What about voice control - will I need to somehow get an Echo dot downstairs to act as a relay? Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the firestick in the receiver to control the tv/Directv/surround sound speakers and a blu-ray player. Is this even doable?
The remote does not require a line of sight to the fire tv stick. I believe it connects to the fire stick over wifi. Using Wi-Fi has an advantage of about 100ft range vs the 30ft with Bluetooth. So I am assuming this should work. Best way to find out is to try it out. Please subscribe to my channel.
I have a generic brand projector. Do you have any idea what brand of tv i can use for it? I understand yours is Epson but i was hoping you would know.
No I am sorry I am not familiar with it.
How did you add the projector to your amazon fire tv stick remote control? Amazing setup!
In equipment control, you can choose display device. I chose Epson.
@@diybuildandlife207 thank you, it still doesn't see the projector
When I play Dolby digital Plus content in pen drive it shows audio format EAC3 not supported. if I use fire stick can it support ? My home theater does support Dolby digital Plus
Very helpful
Thank you. Kindly subscribe to my channel.
alls im getting is the firetv logo on the screen,the remote isnt doing anything
I am sorry I don't know the specifics of your situation
Don't take me wrong but when you have a dedicated button to speak why you have to say Alexa before giving the command... Just wondering....
You are right. I found that out after I posted the video
Hi I have connected fire stick to Dannon receiver, however I am not able to get 4K any thoughts ?
How did you confirm you are unable to get 4k?
Thanks. I didn't know I could program the fire remote to turn off/on my Denon receiver until I watched your video.
Thank you. Kindly subscribe to my channel.
I have set a home theatre using a firestick 4k and one amazon echo dot gen 3.It works perfect.But when i set the sound format on Stereo high .My firestick gives me a notification that your echodot is experiencing problems change your audio preference format.Why do i recieve this notification and what is its solution.(I still want it to be on Stereo high)
I have not encountered this.
Hi. I've set it up like you told. But I'm just not able to sign in. I enter the email id and password but the sign in option is not getting selected. Sorry idk if I've made a dumb mistake
Hmmm not sure why it wouldnt allow you to sign in. Did you need to set up an account?
hi sir! so if you plug the fire stick into the back of the receiver how does the projector show on the screen?
It will take you through the setup process on the screen.
The thing about pressing the button on the remote is that you don't need to say Alexa! :)
Yes it took me some time to get used to it. Kindly subscribe to my channel.
Can you post a link to what adapter you purchased to connect firestick to receiver thanks 😊
No adapter. Plugs into HDMI port on receiver.
@@diybuildandlife207 i did that but how am I supposed to get a picture through to the TV I plugged the firestick into the back of receiver but only got a sound no picture
@@BL-pv7et if you plug into a HDMI port on the receiver and the receiver is connected to the tv, turn to that HDMI port when you turn on the tv.
@@diybuildandlife207 Do I have to run a hdmi cable from TV to receiver and plug firestick into receiver
@@BL-pv7et 1. Plug firestick into HDMI on receiver
2. Plug receiver to tv
Choose the HDMI into which you plugged in the firestick while seeing tv
Can you connect directly to the projector instead of the receiver?
I would think you can do that too.
can you demonstrate how to connect to your project while using your receiver?
Can you clarify?
@@diybuildandlife207 I want to connect my firestick to vga converter as you show in video. But I want to get audio in 5.1 receiver also. Hiw do you recommend to split firestick to vga converter but also to 5.1 receiver?
@@antoniodelacruziii3285 I don't have a vga converter. I plug in the firestick to the back of the receiver.
When I switch to different apps I lose sound. Can you help me with some advice?
As in switch between netflix, amazon etc? No that should not happen. Mine works perfectly.
Did you have to use a third party control system to set this up?
No
@@diybuildandlife207 thank you. Does the remote need a clear line of sight to the receiver to work with it?
@@goodprick87 mine does not have a clear line of sight as my equipment rack is in a different room.
@@diybuildandlife207 that’s amazing, and exactly what I want to do. Is it using an IR extender or something? Or does it connect to the receiver via Bluetooth?
@@goodprick87 no separate IR extender. I believe it works out of the box.
Is there an ATMOS support for Netflix / Prime or any other OTT platform.
Because my FireTV 4K does not shows any ATMOS content on Netflix, despite turning on all the settings to best available.
Fire tv stick 4k is supposed to have support for Atmos.
@@diybuildandlife207 true. But i cant see any signal of atmos on Netflix or any other platform
So try playing an atmos title and then you can see which speakers it is playing out of. There is an option where it shows which speakers it's playing out of.
@@diybuildandlife207 yes did that
But Netflix just shows 5.1 instead of Atmos even if its an Atmos content. For instance lost is space is an Atmos content but just displays 5.1.
@@akshatdwivedi24 it will not show you atmos but when you display which speakers are playing sound it will highlight the speakers. If your atmos channels are showing playing then it means you are getting signal there. Have you tried this?
Excellent, thanks for this, i was wondering how to set up my Epson projector to turn on/off as it just showed TV's. I did pick Epson in the list but didn't try asking it to turn on. Even if i did i would have said 'projector' and not 'TV'.

Hi, Can you adjust the volume using the fire tv remote?
Yes absolutely.
@@diybuildandlife207 Thanks. I mean Epson built-in speaker. Right?
No I mean what speakers are you using? I have a home theater in my basement and output is through my speakers. In my family room I have a vizio sound bar and output is through those. The fire automatically recognizes your output device.
@@diybuildandlife207 I'm not using speakers. Can it control the volume for the Epson built-in speaker? Thanks
When you do manage equipment see if you can select the epson on the drop down.
Are you from Australia?
No. USA
wanted to know about the quality of the movies projected and the sound system with firestick
BTW I did subscribe to your channel
It's awesome. I had to adjust the source level upwards for the fire stick on the receiver.
Watch this.

No need to say alexa when you press the button on remote
I know
Nice cable managment🤣
Thank you
You did not turn your receiver around and show which HDMI port you inserted the Fire TV Stick in to get 4k viewing. Also you did not explain why you hooked up an eithernet device either. Should connect wirelessly. Everybody wants to know where to hook up to the receiver!
It can connect to any hdmi port on the receiver. The port it connects to on the receiver has nothing to do with 4K. Also I prefer an ethernet connection because it's more stable. You are free to use wireless if you want to.
I can’t get sound
Check the manage devices option and see if you speaker comes up.
not funny all my Alexas are going Banans. once was bad enough!!! now im screaming at alexa not to order netflixs !
God bless
