How to Connect An AV Receiver (AVR) | EASY Step By Step Instructions

Youthman getting back to basics . Very helpful video for people who just home and unboxed a prized AVR to begin their home theater journey ❤❤🔥🔥.

@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

That video was great! Very impressed how you demonstated everything in a way that even this A/V rookie was able to understand! Thank you!

Great video! I needed to figure out how hook up a used Pioneer Elite AVR receiver and wasn't sure about a few things but you did such a good job of explaining that I now know how to do it.

Sometimes you know when you watch an amazing guide. Thank you! , sir.

Thank you for this great walk-through. I recently bought an old old Pioneer SC-LX57, and now will connect it up.

I really appreciated seeing this. I'm now wondering if it is worh keeping my old Technics SA-GX190. It doesn't have any HDMI ports.

Thank you for making it fairly close up I was able to zoom with magnification. So many other Youtubers don't make it easy for a geek to see when having a issue with low vision. They either don't speak English, or they don't talk at all. and the view isn't lit or close up. So, thank you very much. I learned about some great tips of the banana tips and the new terminology. I give you a like and *****.

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! 👊

Excellent straight forward video and nice amp. I stick to 8 ohm speaker. Banana connection is sweet.

I have a pair of cerwin vega dx-7 with a pair of dx-3 sitting on top of the dx-7. I'm new to this and was wondering what inputs to use on the receiver and what formation to use in the setup up menu? I'd really appreciate some help!!!

I subscribe as soon as I fall sleep listening to you’re lecture knowing more about receiver and external amplifier and so forth, very easy to understand and follow , I do understand receiver and some sound system it’s just I need to go back to basic which you explain very well , Huge Thanks and keep it up, Stress free lecture to follow 😊😊😊,

This is so useful, as a college kid in charge of my groups home audio system and with zero knowledge of any of this last week, thank you, this makes it so much easier!

ahh there we go, that explains it. i just bought a pioneer vsx 815 at thrift for $20, using it for my PC speakers (sony bookshelf speakers), wasn't sure if I was supposed to do the bare wire twisty connectors or the pre-out (i'm so used to RCA cables, so i tried the pre-out). no sound.. then i went to the twisty, sound works, but was confused as to what the preout even was. thanks!

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?

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?

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for

Thx Youthman! Love your content. I havent seen Component cables in a min lol. This video is very much needed in our community thank you!

Great video. I really appreciate it! Quick question… I am setting up an older pioneer elite monitor with hdmi however not arc. I have a pioneer elite vsx-90 Reciever and pioneer elite blue ray player. I just purchased a sound bar with arc (Polk) Where would I connect the hdmi cable from the sound bar to my receiver? Could I connect it to the arc hdmi since I won’t be using that for the monitor?

This person explained so clearly and so sample. I have watched so many videos about how to add extra amp to av receiver,but this was super easy to understand. I really appreciate ur video. Thanks heaps!
