    Thank you so much! I actually happen to have the exact same Yamaha receiver and a 4K fire stick so it’s as if you were speaking directly to me in this video lol. I Wasn’t sure if my Firestick should be plugged into my LG 0LED 65 inch TV or my Yamaha receiver and that might have been why my audio issues were failing … To the receiver We go! You rock👍🏻

    I setup my Fire TV 4K using your directions, very understandable and straightforward. I am not sure if this is a problem with my settings or a limitation with the equipment, I am using ONKYO RC-898M av receiver. The volume will only adjust (or mute) with the IR signal, is there any setting on the Fire TV that will adjust the volume without using the IR signal? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I have a Denon AVR-2309ci Going to a Old Panasonic Plasma TV. Love the TV. What I've found is that the Denon HDMI port says "monitor out" but does not say (ARC) but the old TV Does. Are they simply not compatible ? I cant seem to get video or audio out of any configuration using HDMI Nor the Optical. I'm seriously frustrated here as I just sold my HK AVR that worked fantastic, but I wanted the HDMI upgrade. maybe the used DENON is broken?? And I'm trying to run my firestick into the configuration.

  • @alwillcox
    @alwillcox 4 года назад

    All nice if you've got up-to-date equipment. I use a Blu-ray player as the receiver which doesn't have HDMI input, but does have Toslink input. But my TV will only give 5.1 through the optical output from its (very limited) built-in apps. Anything that comes in through HDMI is only output as stereo.
    I really need an affordable streaming player with its own Toslink output, but can I find one?...

  • @keithabeynayake1
    @keithabeynayake1 3 года назад

    Really good video, thank you..I do have a question. I have set up my Amazon stick and AV receiver in the way you've shown. I've wired my rears, centre and sub to the AV receiver. I have a stereo amp which I've wired my fronts to. The stereo amp is connected using the line 1 channel to the pre out on the AVR. However, I'm not getting sound from the fronts. Any ideas on what the issue would be? Thanks.

  • @118093338
    @118093338 3 года назад

    Your video was great and explanations clear. MY AV receiver is a Yamaha RXV581...with a very similar port layout as your example. I connected my TV's ARC HDMI cable to the HDMI OUT port on the AVR, and then connected the FireCube to the same 4K enabled port on the AVR as shown in video. My problem was that with those connections I could never see the FireCube Setup Screen on my Samsung TV. The only way I could see the FIRECUBE setup was by connecting the FireCube directly to an HDMI port on the TV. I was then able to complete the setup...but I could not get the sound to run through the AVR. I even tried reconnecting the HDMI cable between the FireCube & AVR, but I lost the TV video altogether. Any thoughts of what else I might try? [My TV is a Samsung KU650D] Thanks

    • @Allabouthomeelectronics
      @Allabouthomeelectronics  3 года назад +2

      Thank you for the kind remark. We in fact just verified the process to make this work. Naturally, please ignore any individual step process which you know you've already enabled etc:
      1. Turn on TV, enable the ARC feature within TV's menu settings. Then, using the TV's remote, set the TV's input source to the HDMI ARC input.
      2. Turn on AVR and enable ARC feature. Demo: ruclips.net/video/zlSjN5Z5wHM/видео.html
      3. Connect Firecube to available port on back of AVR, plug in power adapter of Firecube and set input of AVR to that port.

    People should be made aware it is only a virtual Atmos you cannot get Dolby Atmos not unless you've got yourself a premium TV, plus the best input on the back of the AVR for a 4K stick would be sa/cd for superior audio!
    Hope that helps

      We don’t generally make recommendations. Different 5.1 systems process certain audio signals. Research the audio signal type you’ll most likely listen to and make certain the 5.1 system you buy processes that signal.

    How do I get my receiver’s surround sound on fire tv if the receiver is pre-hdmi ( there isn’t an hdmi slot on the receiver).

      Connect FireTV directly to TV and TV’s optical audio output connect to receiver

    This worked great to my Sony STR-DH550. Unfortunately, I hear the sub constantly buzzing while watching and even when the tv is off. How would I solve this?
