    I started my HT journey 3 years ago, and just completed it recently (along with a calibration by ChadB). I wasn't really sure what an AVR was and what it did when I started, either (along with just about everything else). I enjoy some of your deep dive videos, but I really appreciate you taking the time to put together these very basic HT 101 videos for the masses, Michael. Spread that passion!
  • @Saturn2888
    Dude! The filmwork is so good! That lighting! I love that orange glow to match the speakers
  • @gktechviews2603
    It is very simply understanding explanation about AV RECEIVER, Thank You
  • Hey man love your videos I have a question for you and one of my home surroundsound receivers I have a denon avr 1513 I was wondering if the HDMI out could support 5.1 surround and I was wondering how to hook it up if you knew anything about that.
  • @jaysson1151
    I have a question: Are there any receivers that have not only 2 subwoofer outputs, but 2 individual outputs that can configured in a left-right mode? For example, when I go watch a movie in the Dolby Cinema, when it does its demonstration with the projector and “moving audio”, it shows a big tidal wave crashing down on the left side of the screen and the subwoofers shaking the left side of the theater. Is there an AVR with that kind of capability?
  • @TheDouglas76
    I have ? I just got my Svs sb-4000 installed today what’s the best settings like for phase and others doesn’t look like these guys did much when they swapped it
  • @davidellis2835
    I have a pair of cewrin vega xls15 . Need help with finding a budget friendly receiver that will push them
  • @Pancha0123
    Would i need these if I have a tv that has intergrated dobly atmos speakers?
  • @Cocker_Spaniel
    Wait so if I want to connect my ps5, Apple TV, my sonos arc with one cable to the tv I can do it with the av receiver?
  • Denon 1513 AV receiver that I have has 5.1 support but I’m not really sure on how to hook it up to get that 5.1 surround I think the receiver is from 2012.
  • @MrFallred
    So you hook a 4k Blu-ray player to AV receiver, and the AVR then connects to both your TV and to the speakers? The 4k player doesn't need to connect directly to the TV at all? I have an LG C2 which doesn't support DTS so hooking up the Blu-ray player to TV and trying to watch a Blu-ray with DTS X would not be possible, but it sounds like an AVR could solve that issue?
  • @JB_EDITS927
    Hey got a question! I have a Sony PVM-20L5 and I want to get a receiver for it. I use it for retro gaming and have the RGB/Scart cables hooked up to it via breakout cables. How would you recommend a setup with that PVM?
  • @cloud9438
    If i got 2 tvs side by side can i use 1 av reciever with surround sound, 1 speaker for left tv an 1 speaker for right tv (roblox on xbox son/daughter)
  • @user-ui1qz9rg7c
    Can you recommend a good reliable receiver under $2000 that is a 9.2 for a 5.2.4 I was looking at the Onkyo rz50 but I'm worried about getting one cause of all the problems with them that I've seen
  • Great explanation and, considering the complexity home cinema can quickly ascend to, its great you spent the time explaining this. It also goes a way to adding a newbie to our wonderful hobby.
  • @sidtechsvm
    Hello sir, An 1.5 GB online downloaded movie a av receiver can convert into 5.1 audio.pls ur suggestions.
  • @cmarmagh
    I've got a Onkyo AV receiver HT-R 558 & a Epson EB SO3 Projector what's your thoughts on these?
  • @MrBoyd64
    Hi Michael, I really enjoy your videos! I have a question regarding Dirac. I have an Onkyo RZ50. I started with using Accutune, which did a decent enough job. I’ve tried running Dirac thru Onkyo’s app, and then downloading abusing the Dirac app. The mic I used was the puck mic, and then an Audessy mic. Every time I ran Dirac, I would get an error message saying there’s too much ambient noise. My set up is in my family room that opens to a kitchen and dining room. I’ve tried to make it as quiet as possible, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you sir!
  • @8Jallin
    Why are they so big? Do they have a web interface ? Thank you
