I would love a video on how you hide the wires.

Never once made me feel like I was a baby watching this video. U have a way of teaching but making me feel respected at the same time! Love ur honesty and desire to stay on point. Instant subscriber and highly recommend to anybody. Thx

I know nothing about speakers and always just used tv built ins. This video is the only one I've ever watched on the topic and it clearly explained everything... You're a saint.

This is a brilliant video. I set my 1st 5.1 up about 9 years ago and at that time the thought never occurred to watch a YouTube video to check that I'd done it correctly. I have a new 5.1 arriving tomorrow so thought I'd do a bit of research this time before setting it up. I learnt so much from this video .. thank you!

Andrew, I really love to watch your videos. Your sharing is clear and straight to the point. You are one of my most favourite and best Youtubers.

This was INSANELY informative!! Just bought my first pair of vintage speakers, can’t wait to complete the set

I have shown my wife this channel just to look at how nicely your home is stylized. We like it. Very tasteful. I'm an American who lives in Stockholm and my wife is Swedish. The styling in you home is very Scandinavian. Sober colours, modern, no clutter. Less is more. Thank you for sharing your home and all the great product reviews and content.

This video has helped me so much! I have had a 5.1 Sony receiver for 2 years now and always felt that the sound quality was never up to snuff. After watching you video I found that my speaker setting and frequency settings were horribly off! I’ve adjusted them per your advice and wowzah what a difference! Thanks so much!

Thank you! Also, the kids cheering at the end startled the crap out of me!

You easily have the best channel of anyone talking & reviewing gear.

Thank you Andrew for removing all the ambiguity surrounding this subject. A very straight forward presentation and the delivery was perfect and clear. I'm not so intimidated now.

I’m from Malaysia, and currently I have a Sony Blue Ray Receiver Home Theatre with 5.1 , your video have been clear on how to set the home theatre up. Love from Malaysia brother 💪🏽💪🏽 good content

This was an amazing guide on how to setup a home theatre. I just discovered your channel and the way you explain everything is exceptionally informative at a perfect pace. Keep it up my dude!

Really nice video Andrew. You explain things very clearly so that even an idiot like me can understand. Just one comment about my experience with HDMI cables. I recently purchased a Denon AVR-X1700H receiver to replace an aging Onkyo receiver. I had all the settings correct on both my tv (LG C1) and the receiver but I could NOT display the receiver menus on my tv. Nothing worked, UNTIL I finally went out and bought a higher end "high speed" HDMI cable. I was using just a basic generic HDMI cable connecting the tv HDMi-arc to the receiver HDMI-arc. When I swapped out the "standard" HDMI cable for the "high speed" HDMI cable, SHA-ZAM, it finally worked! I could finally display the receiver menus on my tv. So I'm just adding this comment if other people have experienced similar issues when connecting their receivers. Thanks!

Great information. I set up 5.1 in my living room and my theater, but you really took the time to explain what everything means. I seen these abbreviations before but never knew what they meant. Thanks to this video, I’m confident that I will get the best listening experience from now on. I’ll check out your other videos about subwoofers also.

The way you explain it is/are very understandable, step by step without rushing the definition of everything, I felt like I was in grade school again listening silently and gathering all the most important information, thank you,

The mic quality of this video is incredible

24:17 not gunna lie that scared the shit outta me lol. Listening to this video with my headphones on 80% volume.

Very helpful information. I've just installed my first home theater 5.1 system from Klipsh to an existing DTR 5.5 from Onkyo I already had, overall sounds pretty awesome! Used an auto calibrator for the speakers I obtained on Amazon to make it simplier. I selected sound to be piped through all the speakers in one of the endless menu's of the receiver and massive upgrade from my previous two speaker AM5 set-up. Thanks for your help, I've yet to watch all your vid's but I'm getting there.
