I bought a house that had a stereo system already installed and I ordered 2 new speakers because some were buzzing. I had no idea how to wire them to the existing wiring. I’m so happy you showed how to do that and all you have to do is stick the wire into the terminal. It looks easy enough. Again thank you so much for such a helpful and informative video.

@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

[@1cjim]

Although, I have battery backup units on all my electronics a recent Power surge fried a component in my Pioneer Elite system so I have replaced that unit with a receiver much the exact same as you used in your Video. You have helped me understand so much more now than what I previously coprehended, Thank you so much.

[@toner37]

good step by step set up. But I have an 10+ yr old Yamaha system and all the speakers incl the sub are wired. I am looking to upgrade my receiver as I finally upgraded my tv to an new Sony LED. So my questions is can I use banana plugs for the sub to connect to the receiver?

[@mikelary88]

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]

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

[@tomgraber8839]

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.

[@keithmadsen6279]

Excellent video Youthman (as usual)! Your basis here is a dedicated power amplifier, but how can I add an additional AVR (12 year old 140 W Pioneer Elite for example), to provide the additional power? I also have a Denon X4800H as my primary AVR, driving LCR, 2 rear, 4 height speakers , and a powered sub (all Klipsch).

[@Youthman]

I have heard of guys using an older AVR as the “amplifier” but IMO, it’s not advisable because you now have two volumes you will have to balance.

[@keithmadsen6279]

Thanks Youthman! The concept sounds straightforward on the surface, but surprisingly isn’t very well addressed online. As always, the “the devil is in the details”…. 😉

Hey, great viceo. So if you have a pair of active speakers, would you need to connect them using the pre-out RCA outputs?

[@Youthman]

If a speaker has a built-in amplifier, yes, you would use the pre-outs on your AVR or processor to connect to each input on the amplifier of the speaker.

[@hikingbiker]

@@Youthman Thanks for the reply. I have a Sony DB1070 A/V receiver with a Marantz 6170 Turntable. Any recommendations for some active/passive speakers to pair with this setup (Budget around 180-200$)?

This would be by first time setting up a surround sound system and I have started to connect my individual speakers to my audio visual receiver but my sub-woofer has inputs for cords to hook up to speakers as well. My question is should I just connect all of my individual speakers to my subwoofer and then connect my subwoofer to my audio visual receiver or should I connect all my individual speakers to my audio visual receiver and then simply connect my subwoofer to my audio visual receiver.

[@audiodynamicsmaxsolutions]

Connect all individual speakers to your audio visual receiver to its respective amplifer terminals and connect the subwoofer using RCA to Audio visual receiver subwoofer output.

Most feet can be removed from AVR’s’s or processors. You just have to be careful if they have ventilation on the bottom.

[@glennchaffin8446]

@@Youthman Thanks for your quick reply. I decided not to attempt removing the feet. It looked like it was going to be more trouble than the extra 1U rack space it was going to provide.

[@sphenoidjjj]

How are you connected the individual pre outs to the extenal amp ? Surely you can only use one rca output at a time on the external amp?

[@mrdewes]

Very good instructions.

[@AlexosYou]

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?

[@adrianred236]

Thanks for that, great explaination.

[@Ali-s110]

I really want to thank you for all this clear and pro explanations. One question: By connecting the video source to AV HDMI, does the receiver amplifi the video signal as well as the audio the it send it to TV?? Or it's only a bypass and any quality comes from the video source will be sent to tv by AV receiver?

[@Youthman]

HDMI carries both audio and video signal. I’m not sure what you mean by does it amplify the video signal.

[@Ali-s110]

@@Youthman hi, We know av receiver improve the sound and then send it to speakers, does it also improve the video signal before sending it to TV?

There isn’t much (if any) video processing in an AVR.

[@deejaydannyj5621]

Great explanation of connections.. New to all this type of technology but only difference from this to my old stereo hi-if (surround sound) is the hdmi inputs. Plus if it’s made to do a job, I don’t understand internet connection to update system. What would be updated ? And if you wanted all audio output channels to give maximum output, wouldn’t we have to connect an extra device - an AMP ? Great idea though and fantastic full on explanation of connections

[@Youthman]

Thanks Deejay. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. There are several reasons for an internet connection. Many AVR’s and processors have built-in software for Spotify. Etc that utilizes your home network. Occasionally, a brand may provide a firmware update that provides more stable software or correction error in the programming.

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

[@Youthman]

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.

[@Youthman]

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.

[@Youthman]

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. The diagram will show you a visual representation of where those speakers would be placed in the room. Let me know if that helps.

Thank you, kindly. I often use Monoprice 14 gauge, but I also have cables from Sewell - take a look here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKqmamifrxlhKcsi=FplI20SkB1a60XP-

Hi, quick question if you were so kind to assist. I've purchased a pair of Klipsch R-625FA Dolby Atmos. Now, they have TWO set of connectors on the back of each. I will connect one set of each speaker to each 'Front L and Front R' of my amplifier. What about the other set of connectors of the speakers? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!

[@audiodynamicsmaxsolutions]

Not worry about the others. You need to just go into menu and set the assignment as 2ch and disable other speakers. That's all.

[@xdevs23]

Do the cables or type of connectors introduce any considerable noise or quality degredation? It always seems like these RCA cables and ports are not really up to the task of that. But then also, why wouldn't they be?

[@Youthman]

No difference whatsoever

[@xdevs23]

@@Youthman Thank you. I always get told by audiophiles that the cable, the port and the connector matters and that expensive equipment is required to make it sound right but I find it hard to believe. Sure, it does make a difference in a physical sense, but that's in a nano dimension that we cannot even perceive.

[@Youthman]

Two words…snake oil. Why is it that there is no documented double blind test that proves that expensive cables improve the sound? Last year, we did a blind comparison at MWAVE with 3 cables and a coat hanger. The coat hanger was picked #1 and ##2 in each test. 🤷‍♂️

Is it possible to hook up a PS5 to a receiver running a pair of mythos 4 def tech speakers by a projector. I would need b2 HDMI ports on the ps6. One for projector and one for receiver as the projector has no sound just video. Any way to do it???

[@Youthman]

PS5 into one of the HDMI inputs on your AVR. Then from the HDMI Out on your AVR to the projector.

@@Youthman so you absolutely need a HDMI connection in the receiver can use a older one...

Great Video. I want HTPC home theatre of 11.4.6 dolby atmos configuration 17->Neumann KH 420 active powered monitor speakers 4-> JTR 4000ULF subwoofers Which av receiver-amp wil do this? Thanks in advance

[@Youthman]

If you need to process 17 speakers, you’re probably looking at Storm Audio or Trinnov

[@aliciaANDanthonySandoval]

I have the pioneer vsx lx301 but would love to upgrade to separates. That pioneer vsx lx505 looks nice though... 😉👍🏼

[@carlitosediel]

Question, if at some point i want the sound of my PS5 connected to the AVR to just sound on my TV rather than the speakers, is that possible?

[@Youthman]

The only way I know to do that is you would run your PS5 directly to the TV, then use ARC / EARC to get that sound back to your AVR when you want to utilize your full sound system.

[@SunSun-hk8eg]

👍👍👍👍👍 Excellent video Very well explained

[@Youthman]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@junli3714]

I noticed there is a USB port, what is that for? If I have a NAS stored my movie files, can I connect my NAS to AVR through that USB port and output to my projector?. Thx

[@Youthman]

Their website doesn’t say specifically. They have the USB logo and then further down under the specs > it says USB in for USB drive. It also could be uses as a USB service port.
