Connecting Home Theater Sources to Displays | How & Why

- I'm discussing my living room and home theater source to display and audio system connections. Where and why do I use HDMI, optical, or other connections? Where do I plug in first? Thank you for doing all the regular UA-cam stuff (like, subscribe, comment, share, and enable notifications) and for supporting the channel!

The Nakamichi dragon soundbar. Thank you for responding and my apologies for my delayed response !
Not sure if it is active or passive
Great Video! About 7/8yrs ago I posed a question similar to what you were talking about but I was more interested in video quality. I asked the group if I sent my video through my Yamaha RX-A3050,at that time,would I lose any picture quality as opposed to running it straight to my Tv inputs? My video source was the Oppo 103 at that time. They overwhelmingly agreed that sending it through my Receiver shouldn't degrade the video signal that's perceptible. I had slight reservations but for convenience sake I ran everything through my Receiver and haven't looked back. Now I really have to run mine through the Receiver for Atmos. What are your views about the question I posed to the group? Glad to see you're doing better!💯
The only real degradation you could expect running signals through receiver is if the receiver is lesser HDMI spec than you device can support. A longer time ago, when HDMI was new and stuff, I could maybe believe this, but not today.
@@Techthusiasm Thanks! Appreciate the response!💯
Great stuff! Really enjoying your content on your channel.
Much appreciated!
Great video! I think you just shed some light on something going on in my setup.
A while back I was having weird "bubbly" audio issues when playing 4k discs from my sony 4k player. I was able to resolve this issue by switching from eARC to optical for feeding my soundbar and speakers.
However, I didn't understand until this video that optical is not the best media for my 5.1 system. It sounds like I need to see if my sound bar has a firmware update so I can go back to eARC.
However, my zidoo is coming in the mail today and I might just switch back to eARC and see if it doesn't respond better than my 4k player does.
Any advice that you might have is appreciated! Thanks again for the great content!
Thanks! Yes, if you're passing lossless 5.1 or better audio, then you don't want to be using optical. It doesn't have the bandwidth for that. Stick with a method that uses eARC or switches through your receiver.
@@Techthusiasm Just a follow up in case someone else is having the same issue. This weekend I switched back to eARC and was able to get the issue resolved. Turns out it was not firmware in the sound system but rather a setting on the 4k Player. I had to turn DSD audio to "auto"

Hi Jeremy, I was watching one of your Apple TV videos from a little while ago. I just purchased a JVCNZ7 and I was wondering in regards to using Apple TV if you still recommend that Dolby vision to be disabled in the menu along with leaving HDR off ,and to operate using 4K SDR only? Love your video keep it up.
All the same setting ideas apply. In your theater though with a projector and assuming you're mostly watching newer content that is in HDR, you could leave HDR as the default mode and still leave match on. That might save you some longer resync. I've thought about defaulting my ATV to HDR in the theater for that reason.
@@Techthusiasm thanks for the advice Jeremy I appreciate it. One more question when I put in a standard Blu-ray on my Panasonic, UB 9000 player will the NZ7 automatically default to SDR along with a different picture mode.
Yes, the JVC projector should change SDR/HDR modes depending on content and input signal.
I Have A AVRX6700H From Denon And 9 To 11 Speakers Set Up, To A Samsung S95B Tv 📺... Everything Is Through The Receiver And Everything Is Good, My Problem ( Seems To Be Craziest Outta All!) Is When I Turn On My TV Or AVRX6700H, "THEY DON'T COME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY LIKE THEY SHOULD??? BUT WHEN I POWER OFF THEY DO SIMULTANEOUSLY GO OFF ALL THE TIME????" I Reset My AVRX6700H And Just The Same With The Samsung S95B Tv???? Can't Figure That Out For All The MARBLES In The World????? Do You Have Any 💡 💡 💡 What The Problem Could Be????
Nice, informative, video, thanks! Back in the 2000's I had the Anthem Statement D2, and it allowed independent video-settings for each input. It was useful if you needed different video settings per source but only wanted to run one cable to the projector (although this was back in the days when I actually had HDMI, component, AND S-video cables run from the processor to the projector. Anyway, per-input video settings was interesting. Unfortunately, the Anthem Statement D2 had firmware bugs actual usage wasn't as useful as I had hoped.
Do you use the same Kaleidescape Strato C for both living room and home theater?
The video settings per input in a receiver aren't the important part nowadays. Like you said, back when we had different kinds of analog video cabling, then a receiver might have been scaling and doing different things. No longer though with HDMI and all digital video. The receiver should just be passing through only, and you configure video settings on the display.
I do access my Kaleidescape in both rooms. It goes into the AVM 90 for the theater and then I go zone 2 output from there to the living room TV. Honestly though, I never use the K there for much other than tinkering or recording content. I never really watch it in that room.
Wondering. What equipment would you recommend to use a soundbar with an AV receiver simultaneously.
Passive or active soundbar? I think I need more details to help.
The time is almost here for an oled monitor + centre speaker with 4 or more hdmi inputs. But manufacturers always want to oversell so stop progress.
Why use Apple TV 4K now that we have the apple apps on the TV. On my Sony, I stream from Apple from the TV itself
You are confusing two different products. Apple TV+ is a streaming service. Apple TV 4K is a hardware unit
Now that the app is universal across Apple TV and other platforms, there's less of a reason. I still think ATV is the best streamer box out there for quality and other features, including Apple ecosystem integration.
