    @Youthman, I am so glad I found your channel. This video answers a lot of things others weren't.
    My friend has a:
    BOSE sound bar that has:
    1.S/PDIF Output - 2.a RCA input #1 3.a RCA input #2 -3.a sub out
    SHARP AQUOS QUATTRON
    What I see on the back(I'm assuming that's what I'm supposed to use for this case)
    VIDEO 1 w/ R AUDIO L AND VIDEO
    VIDEO 2 w/ R AUDIO L AND VIDEO
    COMPONENT w/ R AUDIO L AND VIDEO AND Pr Pb and Y
    (She has the BOSE RCA input #1 going into that component R AUDIO L AND VIDEO of the TV.
    AV YAMAHA HTR
    On the back of the AV I have no idea where to plug anything to the back of this. I twiddled around and put it in the CD in the DVD in everything I could and on the front put in the corresponding input and nothing works.
    I'm confused on making work through the tv(which doesn't work) the AV (which she has sitting there) and I'm lost.
    I see from your video the visual on the back looks so much like mine, but I can't get it connected and for the last 4 weeks till I seen this video, it started to make sense, but still don't know what I'm doing wrong. Its driving me nuts!!
    Can you tell me where I'm going wrong or whats the best way please, Thanks

    Very nice overview. I would have liked to have seen you quickly discuss 12v triggers and possibly also IR inputs - but regardless this is a good intro for someone that has no idea where to begin. Thanks for your efforts and all the content you put out Youthman! 👊

    • @Youthman
      @Youthman  Рік тому +5

      Amps come with a 3.5mm cable to connect from the 12v trigger on the AVR to the amp. Turn the amps power to on. Now when you turn on the AVR, it “triggers” the amp to turn on. When you turn AVR off, it “triggers” the amp to turn off. That’s it

    Where would I connect the hdmi cable from the sound bar to my receiver? Could I connect it to the arc hdmi since I won’t be using that for the monitor?

  • @AlexosYou
    @AlexosYou 8 місяців тому +1

    First of all thank you for the very helpful video especially for beginners.
    But there is one thing I don’t understand. Most of the AV receivers have reasonable power output only for 2-3 channels. What’s the reason? If I buy over 1000$ receiver I expect to have enough amplification. But in fact even for 5.1 if I am using mid range speakers, I have to set up two receivers just for amplification purposes. This seems strange. I have no place and budget for second amplifier. Now I am thinking just to continue using my sony ht-ct390 soundbar which sounds just great for its value instead of investing 2000$ for two receivers and speakers. I am not even sure if I will get noticeable difference.
    Another question I have is related to audio/video lag. I don’t find this information in specs, but it is very important for comfortable gaming. Are there any benchmarks for the input lag performed with single and double receivers?

  • @johngibb5201
    @johngibb5201 5 місяців тому

    Great video. Very simple and direct. I just purchased an Onkyo TX-NR696 AV Receiver which replaced my 18 yr old Onkyo that did not have HDMI outputs/inputs. My old Onkyo unit connected to my projector with component cables. Ive connected speaker cables to my new unit and ran HDMI cable to my projector. When I select HDMI on my projector, it says no “HDMI signal”. To set up my new Onkyo system I need to see TV screen but either the HDMI signal isn’t being sent from receiver or it’s not being detected by the projector. I know you did not demo Onkyo, but any suggestions? Onkyo printed material isn’t as helpful as i’d like. The only instructions it gives for initial set up is to connect to TV and then follow the prompts on the TV. I don’t use a TV, just projector….which isn’t projecting. I’m wondering if my new unit isn’t compatible with just a projector?? I’ll try calling their support line. Thanks again for the great video.

    ahh there we go, that explains it. i just bought a pioneer vsx 815 at thrift for $20, using it for my PC speakers (sony bookshelf speakers), wasn't sure if I was supposed to do the bare wire twisty connectors or the pre-out (i'm so used to RCA cables, so i tried the pre-out). no sound.. then i went to the twisty, sound works, but was confused as to what the preout even was. thanks!

    The HDMI Arc/eArc out goes into the Arc/eArc HDMI in Port on the TV? Isn't that just audio when plugged into audio devices (soundbar) or does it carry the visual as well in the case of the AVR (including from legacy devices which tbh looks eminently useful)

    • @Youthman
      @Youthman  7 місяців тому +1

      Some older 2ch receivers allowed you to connect two pair of speakers (A and B) and you could toggle one or both pair on and off. You won’t be able to do that with an AVR. If you want that, I would replace your surround speakers with towers.

    I need some assistance. I have cable box and a Roku, should both connect through the receiver first. But, when we want to just watch news or a TV show without going through all of our speakers how would we make this connection? We’d just like to use the TV’s speakers for news programs and regular TV shows. And is it possible to set up the receiver so that when we turn on the Roku box it “triggers” the receiver to come on automatically? Our receiver is a Marantz SR5010. Thx

    Question. I'm new to the thought of even trying to build a home theater. But the timing is perfect because we are currently building a home that will have a dedicated media room. The Media Room dimensions are about 15 1/2 ft wide, and half the room depth is 19'10" and the other half is 23ft, the ceiling is vaulted from 8ft to 10ft (highest point). Would you consider this a small theater room space? Also, do you think the room is big enough to house a 150" screen projector or bigger? Thank you

      Hey Jeremy, that’s exciting. Your room is more than sufficient for 150” screen. My room is 13 foot wide by 19 foot deep with 10 foot ceiling and I have a 150” diagonal screen in 2.35:1 cinescope screen. Take a look at this video ua-cam.com/video/AubrsBu-2nU/v-deo.html

    Hi Michael, I managed to get another 15inch monolith cheap because he is moving to Canada we had a good test but when I got it home I couldn't daisy chain it I am getting no signal from either of the two front one's the led stays on red flashing but I did pull out the rca cable for the sub and it flashed green for a while, if I connect it directly to the amp it works, at the back it has line one and line two,the two front subs I connect the line one to my amp and I connect line two too line one of my rear sub. I am having trouble finding the manual but found the white gloves lol

      The LED’s should not flash unless there is an issue with the amp. Hopefully that isn’t the case but I would recommend contacting Monolith support.
      You should be able to go from the sub out on your AVR to the Line in on one sub, then line out from that sub into Line In on the 2nd sub.

      Hi James, which AVR do you have? Typically Atmos enabled is referring to up firing speakers that you place on top of your front left and front right speakers to bounce the sound off your ceiling and back down to your listening position.
      If you have a Denon or Marantz, under Speakers > Manual Setup > Speaker Layout, change Height Speakers to Yes and then choose Top Front etc.
