Your instructions were clear enough that even this old couple can understand. Our music channel sound so much better streaming through surround sound now. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this. My husband was an IT Director but I was lost on electronic things when he passed, so I am grateful for people like you. Very simple instructions. Thanks again!
Huge help. Sometimes the simplest solution is the right solution! I literally spent 2 hours trying every configuration on the tv inputs and receiver programing and all I really needed to do was plug the dang stick directly into my receiver 🤦♂️
First.. I've been connecting to the TV directly my fire stick forever.. I knew it wasn't right overall sound wise and video. I switched just now and BOOM! I am enjoying my surround quality again! Thanks
Thanks for the INFO can we plug in to any HDMI port to the TV or is it a Must we must only plug in to the ARC port of the TV.. and will it send both Audio and video the video signal to the TV
Nice video, thank you, on my cube, there is an hdmi in and out. So having connected everything as you mentioned, what would be best for adding additional, my Xbox?
Nicely done video. You dont speak to how or if the Firestick Remote will turn on/off the receiver and if it will control the volume on the AVR. You have to use two remotes in this set up - am I correct on that?
This has helped so much I picked Yamaha receiver and I wasn't sure how to setup the 🔥 stick. I had the stick hooked to the TV but never thought about hooking to the receiver thanks!
I have a firestick 4k. Will this setup allow all apps I stream( kodi, CINEMAHD... ETC) through the stick to give pass through to the receiver for my dolby digital sound? Or will it only work with the prime content?
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.
WOW I would have NEVER thought about putting the Amazon stick in the receiver. How would you connect a blu-ray? I have RC cable, would you connect the blu-ray RC cable from the blu ray to the receiver and blu-ray?
Great video. I have a challenge as I have an older Marantz AVR but it does not have HDMI inputs. It has RCA of course, s-video, digital and optical inputs. Currently I have the FS plugged directly into my TV but I get stereo only. Not 5.1. Any suggestions?
Optoma HD27, Denon AVR540BT, Fire TV Cube. What is the best way to set up fire TV Alexa to control everything? Which input in the Denon and will it control the projector as well? I’m having issues running the Alexa setup.
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👍🏻
Does plugging the firestick into the receiver make it possible to power it on/off, or allow you to control the volume or inputs using dot or other Alexa device?
Buy the other cords in this video. Second ones. Use the white and red color tips and match them in your TV and surround sound. Plug into TV the fire stick and then cables from out on TV to the surround
Hello, I have a Yamaha RX-V350 and a 4k Amazon Stick but I couldn't connect the audio. I watched your video and I see you have a newer device with a HDMI port which my device doesn't have. Is there another way to connect these devices? Thank you
Is it possible to plug a Firestick into an (Onkyo) AVR and use an Ethernet cable instead of wifi? I have an adapter I use to direct connect Firesticks that are plugged into a TV, but I cannot get it to work when plugged into the AVR.
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.
So I just got the latest Amazon Cube... What is a not too crazy 5.1 system you recommend? I have all video as mp4 files and want to make sure I can play them with 5.1 assuming they have been coded as such. Also I hear Netflix has some shows with 5.1 available.
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.
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.
Im streaming tidal music using my Chromecast with google tv dongle. If I plug it into my AVR how do I get an image in TV and will the sound quality improve over plugging it directly into my TV.
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?...
Hello My TV doesn't support eARC, If I plug Amazon 4K stick to my Pioneer htp-076(which support Dolby atmos and DTS:X) and use a normal ARC HDMI port and play a movie which has Dolby atmos sound will I be able to experience Dolby atmos sound ?? please reply
Horse do you get the remote to work the TV do you can change the settings? The remote doesn’t work the TV so I can turn it on out off or change the firestick settings
Is it still possible to have the fire stick plugged in and playing through the tv then having the choice of when a film or sport is on turning on and playing sound through a channel on AV unit ??? Or is it just a case of plug n play through the AV unit for sport and films? Thanks guys
Don’t turn TV speakers off and mute tv or avr as you wish. Depending on your brand and capabilities of your equipment this should work but maybe not always
I have a fire tv stick but not the cube. What’s the difference? Can I get the sound to work without the cube ?? I have a Yamaha surround sound system as well.
Hello I need question .. Amazon fire stick 4k max put on HDMI tv... But sound via optical spidif on tv to 5.1 Blu ray player . . Did work suttound 5.1 effect system?
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
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.
Yeah so I've had this hook up for years now and all of sudden I've lost all 5.1 7.1 and atmos capabilities on my firestick with Disney plus and a Canadian app Crave TV. Any advice. I'm still getting a full 5.1 7.1 sound range using Amazon prime Streaming Netflix is also getting full range of sound. So I'm at a total loss
I may be dense, but if I plug my older style firestick into the receiver, how do I get picture on the tv? I have another hdmi cable going to the tv, but what port would I use? Little confused for picture
My receiver doesnt have HDMI inputs. Is there another way to set this up? I currently have prime content playing dolby digital through my receiver without issue on the stick. However...i cant get kodi or Cinema( with debrid) content that is coded with dolby digital sound to play through the receiver? Its like the stick isnt allowing the passthrough? When I turn off the pass through the receiver reverts to pro logic and sound comes through. I also have an android box on same setup..the dolby digital operates fine..but I would like to put it all on the stick. Any suggestions?
Optoma HD27, Denon AVR540BT, Fire TV Cube. Ran the Alexa smart set up but it would not control the Optima and I’m not sure which input in the receiver that the fire TV should go in or does it matter? What is the best way to set this up to where Alexa can control everything?
The main thing here is the Amp/ Receiver/ Home Cinema has too have an output too the TV. My Sony DAV-F200 2.1 system only has one hdmi so clearly can’t work, seems I’m due an upgrade. Cheers 🍻 for the upload, at least it has given me a clear way to do it. 👍🏽
Hi, I have a Karaokey system, I want to connect it to my AVR. My AVR & TV are connected through Arc HDMI. Do I still need to connect my kareokey sound input to Tv? Or can I just use kareokey output to AVR thro HDMI ?
If you plug in an Amazon Fire TV device into an AVR like the one you used in your video, will Alexa be able to switch inputs on the receiver to go from cable box, to fire tv, etc like it could if it was connected to a TV?
seagull41 Yes, all devices will have to be plugged into the AVR. If it were me I’d only use the function to connect devices that lack HDMI-CEC. In theory anything with CEC would switch to the proper input when powered on. Don’t quote on it, but also in theory you’d likely lose the ability for the FTV to switch TV inputs on voice command, TV volume, and if the receiver isn’t an HDMI CEC device the ability to power on the TV (not 100% sure about the last one). Otherwise if you want to control the TV directly, the FTV needs to be plugged into a TV input along with the cable box.
Hey folks!! I just setup my Onkyo AV receiver but when I moved my firestick off my tv, the Firestick is not working when plugged into the back of the unit ( hdmi of course). I had this receiver in my old home, but didn’t use the Firestick 4 years ago. My Basic manual mentions nothing about the Firestick. If you guys can help please do so! Thank you so much
Hello I dont know how to connect My videoProjector with my Marantz SR6013 and fire stick TV. I think to connect directly my Fire Stick Tv 4K to HDMI plug IN AUX in my Marantz SR6013 and from Marantz Plug HDMI Monitor 2 OUT to my video projector. Does it make any sense? Could I see and listen videos with this setup?
I have a pioneer surround sound. Has the arc port. Hooked it up to my fire tv with the built in firestick and have no sound. Everywhere I search, google, everywhere is info on how to make surround sound work with a firestick plugging it into the reciever. But what about insignia fire TVs with the firestick built into it. How do I make that work. There are no answers anywhere. I've messed with settings, tried the optical cable, hdmi, nothing. Any help would be great
My Yamaha doesn't have any HDMI ports. Do you have any solutions for connecting an old Yamaha to a firestick without bluetooth and without any HDMI ports. Only RCA wires :)
Hey, nice review. I have a query deciding between YHT-3072 & RX-V485(wifi enabled). Can I cast music to firestick from my mobile if I am using 3072? This way I am trying to skip my need for wifi enabled RX-V485, as 3072 comes with default speaker set. Look forward to your suggestion. Thanks. :)
Trying to connect fire TV to tuner amp. I have connection ports on both. TV has audio out. Tuner has TV/DBS. Three connection each place. I have a three lead cable fully connected. DIsplay & Sound under settings on TV had Audio Output. This has TV speakers (on or off), Digital Audio Format (PCM, Dolby digital, Auto), and Bluetooth. CAN NOT get sound to Tuner. Ideas?
So obviously i know nothing about this connections but after you connect the fire stick or cube or even any other device like PS4 or bluray player.. if i connect those directly to the AVR what input then will i use on the tv to watch those devices? like how does the fire stick shows on the tv screen if its not connected to the tv hdmi but instead connected to the reveiver. Im confused.. is the receiver broadcasting to the tv??
Does Marantz Sr5015 support dolby digital over hdmi? I connected firetv stick to my a/v receiver currently integra. right now it just plays 2 speakers. Ordered Marantz sr5015 expecting that would fire all the 5.2.1 speakers that I have. Can some one reply to this question? If so whats the option tos elect in audio settings "Its all dolby digital for me"
I have a Yamaha RX-v471, I do streaming with a fire stick 4k and having trouble with one of the sticks being recognized. Both sticks works in another TV but ONLY one with the Yamaha RX-v471???
hello, I live in Brazil and there is no information here. i have a yamaha rx v563 receiver. i would like to use fire stick to enjoy dolby atmos. The receiver reads Dolby® Digital EX, DTS-ES™, Pro Logic® IIx, and DTS Neo:6 decoding. Is it possible? How? thanks.
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?
If your going to use the TV as a monitor and not for sound then it doesn't matter if the reciever is or TV is ARC enabled right? Just plug the firestick into a spare HDMI and your good to go?
ARC permits 2 very general features : 1) audio to pass out of a TV & over to an external speaker system (ie: thus not requiring use of TV speakers for sound if so desired) 2) use of CEC communication between CEC enabled devices thus allowing, for 1 example, the TV remote to control volume of an external speaker system’s volume and/or On Off control etc By saying “spare” the short answer is yes with but, not every HDMI port on any given piece of equipment performs identically at best. Port 1 often would be best performing port; however, this won’t hold true in all cases Hope this helped despite its length
@@Allabouthomeelectronics I only use my TV as a monitor. Don't use the TV remote at all. I turn it on switch to HDMI and that's it. All devices are fed through the reciever. Mine only has 1 out to my TV. All my devices are connected through optical or RCA and a HDMI splitter. I will need to update my reciever to have in's so I can dismiss the spilter and to plug my firestick in directly.
I plugged the firestick into my pc monitor. Picture is fine but I cannot get any sound from it. I bought an audio extractor with 3.5mm out and fed that into my amp but whatever I do no sound.any ideas?
What if my fire stick doesn't reach to my TV from the surround sound box? Is there such a thing an extender and if so what's the name of it so I can purchase it online?
I have a Sony STR DG800, I had since 2006. Now my question. Of course I have surround sound coming from already but I can’t get my fire stick to play through my surround speakers. Help please.
I have an older Sony theater surround system that does not have Bluetooth. The surround sound system works for the DVD and radio but not for my TV. I have a fire stick already connected to the back of my LG TV. Can you please help me?
look on the back of your home theater to see if there is an alternate audio input port. if there is then hopefully your tv will have a matching audio output port you can connect to
Your instructions were clear enough that even this old couple can understand. Our music channel sound so much better streaming through surround sound now. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing this. My husband was an IT Director but I was lost on electronic things when he passed, so I am grateful for people like you. Very simple instructions. Thanks again!
Thank you, Patricia. Sorry for your loss. Your kind remark helps keep us motivated. Glad the video was helpful.
There's nothing in this video to dislike. Even I can understand it, and that's saying a lot... Clear, concise, and, short.... Brilliant!
Thanks for explaining the alternatives "connecting to receiver" opposed to "connecting to TV directly". That was helpful.
This has meant that my new 4k max firestick is picking up Dolby atmos for the first time! What a MASSIVE difference! Thanks for the clear instruction
I was lost for a whole day on this!!!! Beautiful work, thanks for making this clear and informative!
Grear video.
I only have one hdmi port on my surround sound which is used for the tv.
Any way around this for the firestick?
Huge help. Sometimes the simplest solution is the right solution! I literally spent 2 hours trying every configuration on the tv inputs and receiver programing and all I really needed to do was plug the dang stick directly into my receiver 🤦♂️
How do you get your picture to show on tv,I plugged my firestick in my receiver I get a sound but no picture
Thats what im wondering
First.. I've been connecting to the TV directly my fire stick forever.. I knew it wasn't right overall sound wise and video. I switched just now and BOOM! I am enjoying my surround quality again! Thanks
Sweet
After almost 2 years of living in my new house I’m finally able to watch my games on surround. Thanks!
Do you set up the fire stick on the tv first or set it up through the receiver ?
Thanks for the INFO can we plug in to any HDMI port to the TV or is it a Must we must only plug in to the ARC port of the TV.. and will it send both Audio and video the video signal to the TV
any
Nice video, thank you, on my cube, there is an hdmi in and out. So having connected everything as you mentioned, what would be best for adding additional, my Xbox?
Thanks for your clear explanation, Can we do the same setup with my old 50' tv it doesn't have an arc in hdmi port and no Dolby support.
So will this work with a basic samsung soundbar? I have the issue you mentioned, a picture but no sound when the firestick is plugged into my Tv

Buy the other cords in this video. Second ones. Use the white and red color tips and match them in your TV and surround sound. Plug into TV the fire stick and then cables from out on TV to the surround
So you plug the fire-stick straight into the surround sound?
If you have a projector would you have to use the optical port for your audio. I don’t have ARC.

CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION??! what if my surround sound audio set up has ONLY ONE HDMI out(ARC) port in it. Where do I put the fire tv then?
My room is 12*10 foot. Is my room large enough to setup 5.1 system? Or i should go for 3.1?
My receiver doesnt have HDMI inputs. Is there another way to set this up? I currently have prime content playing dolby digital through my receiver without issue on the stick.
However...i cant get kodi or Cinema( with debrid) content that is coded with dolby digital sound to play through the receiver? Its like the stick isnt allowing the passthrough?
When I turn off the pass through the receiver reverts to pro logic and sound comes through.
I also have an android box on same setup..the dolby digital operates fine..but I would like to put it all on the stick.
Any suggestions?

You can use either method
Thank you! This worked for me, I have a firestick
Do you have to use the cube?
I have a question, My receiver yamaha RXV-775, can I conect with fire stick?
Would the fire stick box say 4K if it was so enabled? Just want to make sure I plug it into the right port. Great video!
Yes it does

I think to connect directly my Fire Stick Tv 4K to HDMI plug IN AUX in my Marantz SR6013 and from Marantz Plug HDMI Monitor 2 OUT to my video projector. Does it make any sense? Could I see and listen videos with this setup?
I have a pioneer surround sound. Has the arc port. Hooked it up to my fire tv with the built in firestick and have no sound. Everywhere I search, google, everywhere is info on how to make surround sound work with a firestick plugging it into the reciever. But what about insignia fire TVs with the firestick built into it. How do I make that work. There are no answers anywhere. I've messed with settings, tried the optical cable, hdmi, nothing. Any help would be great
My Yamaha doesn't have any HDMI ports. Do you have any solutions for connecting an old Yamaha to a firestick without bluetooth and without any HDMI ports. Only RCA wires :)
Connect Firestick to TV and RCA out to Yamaha
Hey, nice review. I have a query deciding between YHT-3072 & RX-V485(wifi enabled). Can I cast music to firestick from my mobile if I am using 3072? This way I am trying to skip my need for wifi enabled RX-V485, as 3072 comes with default speaker set. Look forward to your suggestion. Thanks. :)
High speed hdmi cable works with earc? Doesn't it need to be 2.1 ultra high speed hdmi cable?
Hi. If I hook up my fire cube to the receiver...will I still need to control the volume we the receiver remote or the fire tv remote? Thx
Hey man... I'm tryna connect firestick to hdmi2va 1.(to av receiver to speaker) and 2.(to my TV). Could you help me?
I have a Yamaha HTR-5930. I have a fire stick but no cube. I can easily run the DVD through the surround but not the fire stick. What do I do?
Trying to connect fire TV to tuner amp. I have connection ports on both. TV has audio out. Tuner has TV/DBS. Three connection each place. I have a three lead cable fully connected. DIsplay & Sound under settings on TV had Audio Output. This has TV speakers (on or off), Digital Audio Format (PCM, Dolby digital, Auto), and Bluetooth. CAN NOT get sound to Tuner. Ideas?
If I also have a cable box what should be the order I use to properly enjoy streaming at high quality?
So obviously i know nothing about this connections but after you connect the fire stick or cube or even any other device like PS4 or bluray player.. if i connect those directly to the AVR what input then will i use on the tv to watch those devices? like how does the fire stick shows on the tv screen if its not connected to the tv hdmi but instead connected to the reveiver. Im confused.. is the receiver broadcasting to the tv??
Does Marantz Sr5015 support dolby digital over hdmi? I connected firetv stick to my a/v receiver currently integra. right now it just plays 2 speakers. Ordered Marantz sr5015 expecting that would fire all the 5.2.1 speakers that I have. Can some one reply to this question? If so whats the option tos elect in audio settings "Its all dolby digital for me"
why not plug the stick into the other 4K supported HDMIs ..ie 2 and 3? aren't they labeled HDCP?
I have a Yamaha RX-v471, I do streaming with a fire stick 4k and having trouble with one of the sticks being recognized. Both sticks works in another TV but ONLY one with the Yamaha RX-v471???
Your the Man brother, thank you so much 🙏.
your guide is very usefully, thanks. And I hope get more share from you.
I have a Denon AVR 3805 (no HDMI). I'm able to get video without issue, but no audio. Suggestions on how to obtain the audio?
Do I need to purchase the cube? I have the 4K Fire stick.
If I have a Sony KD-55X9000F TV, will Dolby spot the Atmos soundbar?
hello, I live in Brazil and there is no information here. i have a yamaha rx v563 receiver. i would like to use fire stick to enjoy dolby atmos. The receiver reads Dolby® Digital EX, DTS-ES™, Pro Logic® IIx, and DTS Neo:6 decoding. Is it possible? How? thanks.
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?
Do those Amazon Firesticks process Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio?
pr0jectSkyneT no just DD+.
I need help with connecting a Firestick, surround amplifier and Panasonic projector. Help!
If your going to use the TV as a monitor and not for sound then it doesn't matter if the reciever is or TV is ARC enabled right? Just plug the firestick into a spare HDMI and your good to go?
ARC permits 2 very general features :
1) audio to pass out of a TV & over to an external speaker system (ie: thus not requiring use of TV speakers for sound if so desired)
2) use of CEC communication between CEC enabled devices thus allowing, for 1 example, the TV remote to control volume of an external speaker system’s volume and/or On Off control etc
By saying “spare” the short answer is yes with but, not every HDMI port on any given piece of equipment performs identically at best. Port 1 often would be best performing port; however, this won’t hold true in all cases
Hope this helped despite its length
@@Allabouthomeelectronics I only use my TV as a monitor. Don't use the TV remote at all. I turn it on switch to HDMI and that's it. All devices are fed through the reciever. Mine only has 1 out to my TV. All my devices are connected through optical or RCA and a HDMI splitter. I will need to update my reciever to have in's so I can dismiss the spilter and to plug my firestick in directly.
I plugged the firestick into my pc monitor. Picture is fine but I cannot get any sound from it. I bought an audio extractor with 3.5mm out and fed that into my amp but whatever I do no sound.any ideas?
So if i put my fire stick into the receiver and plug the receiver to my tv i could still use my fire stick directly on my tv?
What if my fire stick doesn't reach to my TV from the surround sound box? Is there such a thing an extender and if so what's the name of it so I can purchase it online?
Hello.
I' m french and i didn't all understand when you spoke.
Do you have More explications on a PDF ?
Thank you
I have a Sony STR DG800, I had since 2006. Now my question. Of course I have surround sound coming from already but I can’t get my fire stick to play through my surround speakers. Help please.
I have an older Sony theater surround system that does not have Bluetooth. The surround sound system works for the DVD and radio but not for my TV. I have a fire stick already connected to the back of my LG TV. Can you please help me?
look on the back of your home theater to see if there is an alternate audio input port. if there is then hopefully your tv will have a matching audio output port you can connect to
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
