I like the way you dumb it down for non-audiophiles like me who are aspiring to get into building their home theatre system. Thanks again!

[omarzarate]

Thank you youthman for dropping knowledge for us novice home theater 🎭 enthusiasts. I have learned from your videos that, I have connected my ATI amplifier with trigger switch to allow an automatic shut off when I am shutting down.😊

Michael going back to the ROOTS & education of the community. this is helpful for those that may feel overwhelmed and think it’s a daunting task. Sino, odies and made EZ. Love it!

Loving these videos. Learning so much!

Great timing Vid Micheal!
I have the marantz 7703
Question= I've had the same connected cables for years that connect from my sources, is there a way to test the cables to see if they still give the correct signals through them for 4k or non 4k?
In other words, test the integrity of the cables

[stevemann]

Hi there thank you Mike. I'm having issues with the display screen showing up on the TV. What could that be to make that work? Thank you mike stevens.

[UncleEarlHeatingAirCondition]

Another question, I have an older 7703 and 7701 . Is there a way to connect my 7703 to the 7701 so I can use the additional hdmi outlets for additional sources?
If so, where is a good link on how to do it?

So I just got my new processor the Arcam AV41 and I am getting my first experience with eARC connecting it to my Sony A9G. I thought I had everything working last night however today while watching a 4k disc every 10-15 mins the tv said no connection went black for a few seconds and then picked up again. I think you had a similar issue in the past and was wondering how you fixed it. Should I just try and connect my devices to the receiver and then use the non-earc output from the processor into one of the non-earc hdmi inputs. I know I will not get sound from the tv but that is not a big deal.

Super cool you explained. My 4800 renamed its sources on its aside from my player i believe. Orginally plugged a roku into the cab/stl and it renamed it based on what i named my roku. I replaced it with a nvidia sheild but i plugged it into the media player input and it auto renamed it shield. I would assume it does it for all the other receivers but definitely worth noting.

[falconclaw]

I just love how you explain things in your guides so happy your doing them again nice work thank you

[carlosolivia]

Excellent explanation on inputs and output...clear

[yvovandoesburg]

this part i already know it but iam happy to see you continue to teach us valuable knowledge.

[garryhammond]

Ultra clear explanation with excellent video editing Michael. - Thanks - Cheers!

How can I get the AVR menu to show on screen when streaming from TV?

[troydspain]

Currently I am back feeding audio info from my sony 4k TV with the arc/ears input ... when should I choose to input into the receiver directly??

Hey Youthman... just some video ideas on things which are difficult to search on YouTube

I am looking for a cheap amp due to budget for adding 2 more speakers to the avr. No one has tested Fosi, Aiyama and few cheaper options and see how they run. Buzzing sound etc... This may allow for people to save money and buy better stuff.

Hi I'm watching old school revision 😊

[shayizandlamamba]

Smart tv - av receiver
you still use arc to get sound

I use opt cable

[edwarddiogu]

Hello, Youthman. I have been waiting for that new Hsu subwoofer you promised to review.

[chrisgraunke]

Silly question, maybe, but couldn't you run the HDMI to the TV, and then a single HDMI from the TV to the receiver? 🤔🤔 Does this effect sound quality? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
