YAMAHA Receiver How to hook up home theater speakers wire

U must be really retarded. Cant u rad manual

[@_dave4460]

at about 1:13 if you connect the speakers “180 degrees out of phase” you will loose low freq content. as an experiment, try it with a tone generator and watch your woofers move in opposite directions. decades ago there were attempts at 4 channel reproduction that incorporated phase shift circuitry that gave a wider, interesting sound but low freq was sacrificed. look at old marantz, poineer, kenwood, sansui and even akai recievers and integrated amps. the techniques were to have 2 front speakers in phase and 2 rear out of phase (where cancelling low frequency content is less offensive to overall sound quality) to imitate a larger venue, if you will. i still have a pioneer QL- 60 that offers 4 ch discrete (true 4 channel) , matrix and variable phaseshift (up to 90 degrees out) which was called 4 ch synthesis. there were many approaches to 4 ch but manufacturers couldn’t agree on using the same so recordings could be made en masse. it killed 4 channel in our homes. some home theatre sets offer something in the neighborhood of 4 ch synthesis but using freq envelopes, not phaseshift or matrix. almost like having 4 way crossovers and dividing frequencies from front to rear instead of tweet, squawk, woof...

I hooked raw wire into speaker hole connectors and worked. Or should I get banana connectors instead?

I have a question, I have hooked up the speaker wire the way you advised and I put the other side into the speakers, but it’s not playing? I haven’t hooked this up in about 5 years. The system still works, the display screen still works, my Dj system is still showing that the cd is turning and playing the songs, it’s just that nothing is playing through the speakers or the home theater system which is brand new. What can I do?!

[@justaguy4real]

I have Yamaha HTR5660 with tower Yamaha NS555 running speakers A to highs and speakers B to lows. What if i just split speakers A highs n lows to 1 tower and speakers B highs n lows to other tower? I'm using heavy gauge 6ft wires to each which seem to sound better with more power or volume than when I tried connecting banana plugs, which I removed to use only bare wire again. And i wonder what if i left the bridge on and ran same way using speakers A&B, would that be like using double power?

[@arinapismenny4055]

Thank you very much for the video. I have been having an issue with sound. For some reason some of my TV channels have no sound, the sound on some of them goes up and down and is sometimes muffled. Other channels seem fine. I have just fixed the wires of my surround sound system by fixing them back into place (thanks to your video) but the problem hasn't gone away. Furthermore, when I turn on Roku, there is no sound either. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.

Hi a VERY informative videos thank you I learned from your video. I am 63 so I know EVERTHING. I have a Yamaha Aventage System cost around 500 English pounds When I first got the amp I have a 5 speaker set up Got everything wired up and OMG it made my legs VIBRATE it is was that good HOWEVER after a ROOM change and a new connect all the wires session I set up my system for the second time It was good but at HIGH volume it would just switch itself off. THIS REALLY got me seriously annoyed I spent hours thinking my DIGITAL EXPENSIVE AMP could not take high volumes and IT SWICHED ITSSELF OF to save ITSSELF from destruction ANYWAY months later all I had done was wire 1 rear speaker positive negative the wrong way round PROBLEM solved As I said I KNOW EVERTHING So it could NOT possibly be MY FAULT well it WAS So a word to the wise it probably is your fault and don't forgot to plug via the internet the Ethernet lead into your amp to get the latest software updates for your amp. At 63 I DONT KNOW EVERYTHING lol Regards Dave

[@nickfatsis9607]

Simply plug your turntable into the "Phono" RCA jacks on the back of your amp, connect your speakers in the normal way, because you'll be playing records, I don't think you'll get audio from your rear speakers, you might though, if you choose a surround effect.

My back speakers still have sound coming from them, I'm just baffled as to why the front ones are activated when testing the back. Every speaker is part of the original package.

Question does your reciever/amplifier have low level ports for subwoofers (low level port is a RCA port to connect a standard single RCA cable from it to your Subwoofer's low level port depending on your system you may have more than one of these. I assume you're SW's are powered. Check your recievers manual for more information and location if available on your system.

I have a ONKYO amplifier I'd like to connect to. When looking at the back of this tuner their are two sets of wires. The first set, is labeled output but it has been cut off so I don't know if that is suppose to be the power source. I am assuming it is. The other set of wires are buched in three and is labeled GND, 15.6V and 11 V . Not sure what this set of wire is for.

I was shocked to discover that my HTR-4069 is not set up to receive banana connectors. Why would they not be standard on all models, worldwide, what would it hurt? In the absence of this capability, is there a better method than tinning the wire (with non-corrosive solder) and inserting the lead under the nut (I always tin, no matter what connection I use)? I find this method a huge PITA, the connecting terminals are not particularly easy to access. I hate the little clamp connectors, very insecure.

[@nickfatsis9607]

It’s usually low end amps that don’t use banana style connectors, because usually on a lower end system you’ll typically use thinner wire and wouldn’t usually need banana connectors, I wouldn’t recommend soldering the wires either, this would make it harder for the speaker terminal to clamp onto the wire, just unsheath about 10mm of cable and use that.
