Hi folks, I just picked up this receiver at best buy the other day, and I think i'm all setup. My only HDMI input right now is my comcast box. The issue i'm having is that when I power everything on, the TV will display the SAT/cable video source, but there is no sound unless I switch the...

 I have the chance of buying the 840 for $315 or the 1040 for $420. I have Pioneer SP-FS52 LR, SP-BS22 rears and SP-C22 center. I will be adding 2 more SP-BS22's later. I am slowly building my setup as I see prices of what I want drop. Dual subs are on the list after receiver. Possibly SVS or...

Bestbuy has the sony on sale now for $374. The cheapest I can find the Yamaha is $319. I plan to add the BIC 12" sub with pioneer Andrew Jones speakers. I'm not sold on cnet reviews... so is the Sony worth the additional $60? I will only use 5.1, not 7.2. And airplay and wireless are nice, but...

 Building a budget setup for the time being, however want to somewhat future proof the AVR for a better, 5.1 or 7.1/2 speaker setup a few years down the road when this system will be moved to a larger room requiring larger speakers.   For now, setup will be in a fairly small room, about...

 Does the receiver need to be on just to listen to tv sound..I just bought this receiver today..Waiting for it to be shipped..

 Hi all. Let me start out by saying, I am a complete novice about a Home Audio setup. I would like a budget system mainly movie/tv watching (60%) and music (40%). My living room (14'Lx11'Wx8'H) opens up to dining room (combined the two is 28'Lx11'Wx8'H). There also is a partitioned room along...

Sony str-dn840 receiver. 5.1 polk audio speakers. i got them working using the bi-amp feature, but for some reason it seems...odd sounding? am i doing this right?

 Hi, anyone had this issue? When I put the amp into standby the picture and sounds fails after about 20 seconds, accompanied by a clicking sound from the amp. I have set HDMI pass through to Auto in the settings. Am I missing something, or do I need to have a chat with tech support? I am...

I am in the market for a new 1.4a compliant HDMI reciever for my home theater. Things I care about: 1.4a HDMI HDMI passthrough switching 7.2 channel with all hi-def audio formats AT least 2 HDMI inputs. Don't actually need more than two. Great sound for my budget. 1 toslink input...

Not sure if this is the best section to post this, but please redirect me if needed. I recently bought a new receiver (Sony STR DN840) and have been having trouble getting video from my xbox one and roku 3 to to display on my plasma tv (Panasonic tc-p54s1). Sound does work, however...

Looking for a budget received for about $500ish, which one should I I choose? Thanks.

 I got the Sony STR-DN840 A/V receiver, but apparently only the American version of this product has Bluetooth, and the European version doesn't. I have, of course, the European version, and now I can't do what I initially intended - connect my Bluetooth headphones (Sony MDR-1RBT) to the...

 My Bose Lifestyle 12 Series II system died after almost 15 years. I am looking for a new system to replace it. It is in my living room that is about 24' by 18' ( the 18 is from the TV to the seating area). Looking back at this system i was not all that impressive I think I just got caught up...

My old Sony receiver just went out on me and I've been researching receivers for about 2 weeks now. I'm more confused then ever now. lol. So I've come to the experts and hopefully you guys can lead me in the right direction. I am mainly looking to use this receiver to listen to music and maybe...

 Hey all, first time in, nowhere else to turn... Picked this unit up for an astonishing $360 open box from Best Buy.  It's replacing a an ancient Denon AVR-1908 (2002 I think?) so I'm sure I'll be pleased.  The thing is, I'm reading about some pretty bad bugs/defects.  Also, I don't need dual...

Looking to get a home theatre receiver and saw this one as a 'best buy' last year for under $500, is this a good buy or there is an alternative? thanks for any advice...

I need some helps in term of selection for my 5.1 home theatre setup. I like the speakers to be as small as possible (like Bose) but really don't like Bose speakers, here is what I have gathering so far: - Room is 15'x20' - Sony STR-DN840 -Cambridge Audio Minx M21 for center, left, right...

Hello all. So I have been researching receivers for my 7.1 theater in my basement and every time I get ready to pull the trigger on one, the price jumps! In the past 3 months I have been moments away from purchasing the Yamaha Rx v673, v575, Sony Str-dn840, & lastly the Pioneer Vsx-1023-k...

 I just bought a Sony STR-DN840 receiver. I will be buying speakers in a little while but in the mean time I will be using the speakers from my Panasonic SA-HT05 HTIB. I would like to know if there is a way to rewire the sub to use for this setup. The Panasonic system had a "receiver" that took...
