@@huntergade I think it can only be two channels because of the inputs not being left and right (rca input).

@@galrubin I believe you could only run one set (left and right) or 2 channels into another receiver to get amplification through it. The reason is that you have to run the prepouts from the marantz as an input to the secondary receiver and the only options I know of for RCA inputs for a L/R set will be 2 channels (L/R). For instance the aux input or phono input or cd player input, those would all be RCA 2 channel inputs that you would set your receiver to use to amplify. I don’t think there is any way to have 4 input channels this way. Does this make sense? I’m not sure if I am explaining that well. But you can definitely do 2 channels of amplification how I explain in my video and in your case go from 11.2 to 13.2! Good luck and enjoy!

@@thepefflyranch I see, so if I can run only 2 channels, can it be any 2 channels? Like Front High Left and Front High Right? And if it is the top speakers, how do I configure those?

@@galrubin yes should be able to do any two channels. Try to do it like my video says and then post up any questions you have.

@@theandradefam4459 your denon x2700 is already 7.2 so you should just use that by itself. Not much more you can do.

@@thepefflyranchcool! thank you so much for responding. I have a subwoofer that I don’t know how to connect it to. The subwoofer belongs to the Yamaha receiver can I still connect it to the denon x2700h? The subwoofer only has red and black cable what input do I connect it to?

@@theandradefam4459 connect the sub by connecting an rca single plug cord into the sub input and other side to the receiver subwoofer 1 pre out.

@@thepefflyranch Hello, the sub has the plus and negative, red and black on the back of it. It doesn’t have a single input or any inputs, how do I connect a single arc to it?

@@theandradefam4459 oh what subwoofer is it?

@@sandrawhinery388 hard to do in a 60 second video lol. Maybe in another video.

@@hunnitmanjuuve2404 thanks!

@@BaldandInsecure187 thank you! All the work definitely takes a toll on my wellbeing but am thankful to be able to do the things I do.

@@thepefflyranch I’m thankful for your hard work building America 🇺🇸

Your speaker outputs, to include preouts, use an analog signal at this point. This is the final stage which comes after digital encoding or processing is completed. So RCA for preouts is fine and will result in the same signal you get with your speaker wires going to your speakers.

It depends on the amp modes based on your receiver. Check out the manual or setup in settings of your receiver to find out.

Yes you should be able to play test tone and hear the speaker thru the preout. This would be the test prior to running the audyssey setup. Is your volume up on the amp receiver? Does volume play out of the speaker if you run test tone on the amp receiver?

@@thepefflyranch Some info in case it makes a difference. Using Denon x3700h as main receiver, preout receiver is a Denon s760h. As far as I can tell, I've set everything up exactly like your video. So far, the test tones produce nothing when set up through the extra receiver. I have confirmed the speakers are working and produce sound by setting up the x3700 as a 5.2.4.

@@InAnAspect are the speakers hooked up to the main L and R outputs on the s760h? Is the S760h in direct or pure direct mode and does it show L and R speakers active? Can you play test tone on s760h and hear out of those speakers? Is volume on 760 set to your reference listening level like -20, -10, or even 0db? Mute off?

@@thepefflyranch Volume was up, everything plugged in to the spots you have in the video, but I have no idea what direct or pure direct mode are, so I'll learn those things and see if that is the missing link. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you so much for all your help. I'm relatively new to all this and learning a lot of stuff on the fly as I go.

@@thepefflyranch Okay. So I am at a loss again. Double checked everything is plugged in the way you have it. The test tones play from the s760h. Volume is high (although you ask about it being -20, -10, et cetera. My volume starts at 0.0 and only goes up in .5 increments, so I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing). Still getting nothing coming through those channels in the x3700. Is there some detail that a complete newby would need to know that perhaps was assumed would be known. Do I have to set it to a specific zone? Do I need to push a combination of buttons on either amp to get it to connect? Is there perhaps a step by step guide that shows literally EVERY button press, hook up, et cetera that has to be done?

You can run the x3800 with 9 channels on its own so yes it will work. You can also add that x2500 to power two additional channels as I show and run 11 channels with 4 atmos speakers (2 height channels L and R)

@@thepefflyranch Thank you so much.

I am not sure what to do for this. Sorry.

Interesting, I have not seen this… I don’t buy new so not following what the new receivers are doing but I have a hard time believing that companies would remove the option to power externally through preouts. Do you have some examples?

Thank you!

I am not sure on that.

Thank you very much for the compliment! I have not had a chance to play with different methods for triggers or switching on and off. I just deactivate the ir sensor and keep it on all the time.

You can keep the second receiver off and turn it on only when watching movies where the real value is.

Sorry just seeing this. Yes leave the volume at the level determined during setup and calibration, otherwise this will change your levels and mess up your calibration. Be sure to deactivate the ir sensor to ensure your don’t change it accidentally or cover the ir sensor with tape.

@@thepefflyranch how about using triger does is work?

Yes sir, glad it helped!

Thanks!

Yes I agree but most people already have an extra receiver laying around like I did. Thanks for watching!

@@thepefflyranch true 👍

Let’s do it!

Sure thing, tell me about your setup.

I have 9.2 denon 4700 which I wanted to upgrade 11.2 through external 2 channel amp. My set up consisting of 7 +4 JBL arena ceiling speakers and 2 subs.Everythings fine by following your videos (since I'm newcomers)but only showing 11.1 not 11.2 on the display and working only 1 sub. Thanks.

@@dalbotshira on the back of the 4700 there are 2 preout RCA connections labeled Subwoofer 1 & 2. It is located in the pre out section directly in the center of the back of the receiver. Just plug in your 2nd sub into this and run the audyssey setup and select option with 2 subwoofers. Let me know where your getting stuck if this doesn’t work.

I’m not sure how to connect the two for power. I just leave the smaller receiver on all the time but I am sure there is a way.

That is only a 7.2 ch processing receiver which means you are limited to only 7.2 channels. It does have atmos capabilities so you could run 5.2.2 which is two atmos height channels and 5 in plane channels and 2 subs. The receivers we are using are capable of 11.2 channel processing so you are able to run full 11 channels with the addition of a 2 ch amp. This is only bc the receivers we are using only amplify 9 channels so in order to get the last two you have to have an external amp or receiver.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes sir, absolutely!

It will be coming in about two weeks. We are still working to finish the deck up first.

Love the comment, Thank you! Been listening to some of Crowders music and it is all amazing!

3800x has 9 channels available so yes you can biamp the fronts and have the other 5 channels. You can also run up to 9 channels as a signal to power amplifier and do it that way. If you do not biamp you can do this with 11 channels

@@thepefflyranch I was looking at the iotavx avxp1, and it was this I wanted to use and wonder if I can still have the fronts bi-wired

Or is it really unnecessary?!

@@richardhinchey1999 if you want more power to your speakers then you will need to run a separate amp like your talking about. The 3800x does not care which amp you use so any are fine.

Thanks!
