- Step by step demonstration and explanation of How to connect any Roku to an AVR Surround Sound receiver. We describe what HDMI cables to use for HD, 4K, 8K, UHD and the setting on your AVR
I just got a Roku Express+ and I have a very similar Yamaha AVR. Connected everything as you instructed. Now I have surround sound when using my Roku!! Before finding your video, I didn't understand what the HDMI out port was for, as I didn't install my surround sound system myself. Thanks for the knowledge.
This is clutch. I was about to loose my mind trying to figure this out until I watched this. Thank you Sir. Thank you UA-cam!
"2023 HAS THE HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE INCLUDED!" Myself, just looking to see how I'd hook up my receiver to my Roku Ultra. My TV is older with hdmi capabilities however not with audio, it runs from the tv sound screech‐×^*! (with a ton of treble 😩). Great video!!
Thanks so much 🥰
Excellent video! This is just what I was looking for, but I had no idea that it would be so good. I really appreciated the step by step explanation to most. Thank you.
Best explanation ever! Great job! Thanks
Brought me peace and sanity.
Olá! Para ter 4K com Receiver antigo basta ligar somente o Cabo Ótico na TV e no Receiver, e liga o Roku na TV com cabo HDMI na saída ARC! Vai te dar um som Dolby Digital 5.1.
Hooking it up like this. Will the roku remote be able to control the power and volume of the receiver?
Just received my Roku Streambar and have it hooked through my Yamaha RXV471 receiver as you have shown, thanks for the video by the way.. I have video, but sound will only come from the Roku. I tried following what Roku said to check, but still no luck.
best info out there nice job
Will the Roku remote control the volume on my Yamaha receiver? Ive got it working, but cant get the Roku remote to adjust the volume on the Yamaha. Thank You!!
Great video.. I have a different scenario, I have numerous cat6 wires from my av closet to my tv,.. less than 10ft distance.. I purchased a Hdmi over cat5 extender, passive unit,, did my conversion and followed this video and did not get any signals... do you have a video that can help me out
I’m using an older Receiver and my theater setup has taking me 15 years to get right.
My issue is i can only use an optical for my audio not hdmi.
So hdmi from the device to the back of my 90” then optical out from that device to the opt in on my receiver.
I guess i need a Roku device that supports that same setup! I need a direct optical audio option,so which Roku do i need?
This has been much harder to find than i ever thought!
Thanks for any info!
How do you connect Tomi to an optical output adapter when ur tv does not have ARC
That is a good video, very usefull, but what in my case it's a soundbar but only one HDMI port, can you hel me?
I have a RokuTV The AV Receiver is playing sound but the apps are not playing on the Receiver only when I turn on the TV Speakers. I played with the inputs on the Receiver and figured it out
I have a Roku Ultra going into a Sony Receiver. Same configuration. I am getting audio out of my front L & R speakers only and not in the rear or sub. Any suggestions??
I have same receiver.and have arc connected to TV and roku connected also to receiver hdmi2..I would like for you to tell me how can I make the roku remote turn off my tv and receiver at the same time..I program the roku to turn off tv however when I press roku tv off button..the receiver does not turn off..and at times the tv doesn't want to turn on either with the roku remote..is there a way to program this to operate both devices .the tv and the receiver with the roku power button???
Enabling CEC within your TVs menu settings may potentially accomplish what you are hoping.
I have a Roku thats connected directly to TV. Chromecast (older model) too. Digital optical cable (OUT) from TV to AVR (IN). So I get all my Roku content directly to TV, same with anything cast thru Chromecast. All audio is sent ti AVR as digital signal so great sound. Question: what (if any) would be the additional benefit of connecting the Roku and Chromecast to my AVR instead? Under current setup, If I only want to watch regular TV or cast something (and don't need stereo sound) it allows me to bypass the AVR (it also doesn't require two bulky HDMI cables running to/from TV to AVR). Plz help me see the added benefit.
One problem I have when going from the (Denon )receiver's ARC HDMI output to the ARC TV HDMI input is the picture is washed out, so I have to go into one of the TV's non-ARC HDMI inputs. It is a Sony Bravia TV. Not sure what the issue is.
I had denon avr x 500....
But there is no hdmi arc out.... How can we use audio out from that recever through hdmi ....how to connect MI tv.....
I'll give this a try with the Roku Express my friend gave me because it only requires me to buy 2 cables. The Roku didn't "like" the HDMI3 port I hooked it up to in my Samsung 4465 TV, so we'll see if this changes anything. If not I still have 2 usable HDMI cables afterwards.
Nice video tutorial. I had hoped to see some trouble-shooting on Roku connected thru AVR when Roku needs constant restart/reboot (Roku images flash/blackout/etc.) and/or when pausing Roku for longer periods - all goes mute and Roku needs to be rebooted/eset. I contacted Roku and they said to unplug TV, for 30 secs, then replug - if not fix, then repeat with AVR; I've unplugged all, each individually and together, still requires frequent reboot (5,1,2,2 button press or unplug). It is so frustrating, sometimes even switching AVR input source (e.g. to Blue-Ray/DVD) can cause next use of Roku to require reboot (sometimes multiple 5-1-2-2 - and even then possibly unplug Roku). Don't know if you will still see this comment, as your video is 2 years old - but I am now contemplating switching from Roku Ultra to the 2022 Apple TV - and putting the Roku in my bedroom (which it direct to TV only). Doubt it matters, but I do not WiFi connect my Roku to router - I use Ethernet cable direct. If you see this, please reply comment? if this sounds like something others may encounter, perhaps a short video about this problem? Thanks, subscribing. Happy Holidays.
Wifi / Ethernet connectivity, you're right, has zero baring on what you are describing. 2nd, its our opinion, switching from Roku to Apple TV may prove equally frustrating; Apple TV can and is glitchy and periodically/often/regularly requires a power reset because internal software and or streaming Apps seem to "get confused." In our opinion we believe this to be true for both older versions of Apple TV and the 4K version. We like both Roku and Apple knowing both have functional irregularities perhaps caused by some other tech (streaming apps, ISP, router, modem, internet hiccups, etc).
In the situation you've described our opinion is two things may be occurring (1) Resolution output mismatches / glitchieness (although this may seen convoluted perhaps look into the respective resolution settings of the Roku, AVR and TV to make certain all 3 match)
(2) your AVR is maybe momentarily not seeing an incoming input signal during a pause and the AVR snafus ?(3) this type stuff happens, even more so given you have 3 devices talking to the internet all in a string 1 then 2 then 3
This probably didn't help much, but, we feel your frustration and want you to know you are not the only one.
@@Allabouthomeelectronics Thank you for this informative reply. I am on travel (so I cannot actually further look at such settings now). However, after posting my comment I did further research. I realized I did not have the HDMI cable connected to TV in the ARC enabled HDMI port (HDMI 2 port); I changed that. When I did so, each time I turned on the system to watch, Roku would force the TV to “HDMI 1” (no cable connected), using TV remote to change the TV to HDMI 2 (connected), first Roku remote button press would force the TV to HDMI 1 port - so I could not use Roku at all. Some further digging, I found a “setting” in the Roku menus that automatically forces that (HDMI port “selection” on TV) to happen (I cannot now remember then exact name of that setting); I turned that Roku setting to “off” and now all functions perfectly (with no flashing screen, no blackout screen and no other issues) - it does, however, now force me to click the upper left Roku remote button to turn Roku on (it used to come on by itself when I turned on AVR and TV) - surprisingly, the Roku “power” button seems to do nothing, while this upper left Roku remote button DOES turn Roku on. I find this perfectly acceptable (after all, it is just a different “power” “button”), as all other issues are now resolved. However, I am aghast that Roku Support never offered any such advice, only suggesting I unplug all components, wait 30 seconds to a full minute, and re-plug them in to clear all - which I did several times to no avail. Also, since my last comment post, I did purchase the 2022 Apple TV and all new high-speed HDMI cables for all connections. I have not yet had opportunity to connect the new Apple TV, or the new cables, as they arrived just before travel departure - I will do so next week, and move the Roku Ultra to my bedroom where it will only connect direct to a TV (nothing else). I share all of this because you took the time to help, and it may be helpful to any others who stumble upon this thread. If you may have any additional thoughts, for me or those who may read this - I certainly welcome and appreciate such. Thank you again.
That's valuable info. Hopefully others will benefit. Safe travels
You originally connected your ARC capable receiver to your ARC capable TV using a non ARC HDMI port on your TV. Then, your Roku connected to your receiver HDMI port 1 ?
We are challenged to answer more complex setup questions without being able to look at the actual equipment
We thought about this question and realized something wasn’t entirely clear but all the posts make it clear to use. We like Roku & Apple TV (device) our Roku experience is more buffering than Apple on same Wifi but Apple need power cycle regularly. Roku is generally stable and apps we tested have worked reliably. This said, we will delete our other comments and hope yours remain; it’s possible all will disappear and we want to apologize in advance if that happens
Do Roku streambar Work with Amplifiers ? I deduce this device is just to work only with a screen and it's not compatible with home theaters , i would like to know if i'm wrong
How do I connect my av player without a hdmi connection?
Big tks, works for me roku to my samsung tv 2010, but i don't have any sound, do you know why? No ARC on my AVR, maybe that the reason. How can i bring the song ?
Okay just got a brand new receiver (Yamaha TSR700 and setup a new 65” LG nanocell tv with a Roku Streaming Stick+. I set it up as you described, with the Arc HDMI, I’m finding however some issues if I switch inputs and then go back to the Roku I just get a blank screen. Any ideas with that one?
Its work ing on DTS X and Dolby Atmos files
Is there a video on how to connect audio if I don't have ARC?
Some AVRs have a network port. How do I get content? Where does the ethernet cable go into? The Roku or the AVR?
I have everything hooked up as explained but my sound goes in-and-out, Although it is going through the Surround sound speakers
My Roku stick remote control lost it’s ability to control my onkyo receiver and began to control the TV’s volume control. What should I do. Did I press something that made it like that? Or I need to restart my home theater? Please help.
I dont have arc hdmi. Can i still use the roku device and hear the 5.1 sound? Thanks
Why won't my roku remote , control my TV on off and sound , and my receiver on off and sound? I had the Comcast free streaming box and it programmed to control both but the roku seems to not want to control both systems
Hi there I'm having trouble with my roku ultra giving me black screen and audio still there
So wait. HDMI from roku to surround? Then surround to tv?
Im trying to hook my TV to my speakers in the ceiling....going thru the AVR. I have my ARC cable from the TV to the ARC on the AVR. My speakers are hardwired to the AVR. Its a Yamaha receiver. I can't figure out how to get the sound from the TV to come thru the speakers. Help! Is there a setting im missing? I have a Sharp roku tv
Make sure you’re using ARC HDMI on TV as well. Then might have to go into settings on both to set to ARC
roku 3 into yamaha rx s601 avr. avr does not acknowlege/recognize roku. factory reset roku, turned off 'one click'. still nothing. roku worked fine on my new sony avr. go figure.
Won't pair when connected to AVR. Remote doesn't work, then hangs when pairing, I reconnected to TV and it pairs. Reconnect to AVM and it hangs. Tried to re-set with button on stick and stick hangs in pairing mode. Roku provides not phone or email support
will my 1080P receiver pass through audio/video when off?
How do I connect my AVR to a ROKU TV, not a ROKU adaptor
.
What about the Roku Stick?
My home stereo receiver only has optic out not in.
Now what do I do?
Gina, Hi. Thank you for watching and commenting. We'd like to help. You want help hooking up a Roku? Please tell us the Manufacturer AND model # of your Stereo Receiver
@@Allabouthomeelectronics thank you. It's an older model but I don't want to get rid of it, it was my brother's and he died so I really want to continue using it.
It works fine when connected to my smart TV but it won't work with the roku stream bar. It only has the optical out, so I can't use optical.
It is a Sony LBT-zx6.
My Samsung tv has sounds setting with the HDR, bass, treble.
Now how do I find the settings in my Samsung 60 2019. For the Roku installed app?
The roku remote won’t pair with the AVR. How do I get it to? I want the remote to control the AVR volume.
