Ampli Denon and subwoofer: please help me.

[FoxAdriano]

Please help me, as long as a guy doesn't help me I cannot buy anything at all. I am not an expert.
I have a TV Sony 65" 4K, 2 + 2 speaker satellites side Bose of 15 years old, a non active subwoofer, a central speaker and two rear speakers.
As the current Ampli is giving me worries, I would replace it with the Denon AVR X520BT.
Then as the subwoofer does'nt work fine from few days, I would like to replace that too with Yamaha YST-SW012 Advanced YST II active subwoofer. I wonder if the Denon AVR X520BT will work fine and can handle all those speakers.

PS. Out of curiosity: I noticed in the back of the Yamaha subwoofer there is only one connection to a single audio cable while on the Denon Ampli there are two connections.
Why?

Yes it will work fine. Some AV receivers have two subwoofer outputs to make it more convenient to employ two subwoofers. You can connect your subwoofer to either one.

I thank you for your good news, I'm not an expert and I need to ask another question: can you tell me in which connection I will have to put rear speakers cables on Denon AVR X520BT? I don't see the right connections on the Ampli. May be do I have to use "Surround" connections? Thanks again one.

Looking at this web manual

http://manuals.denon.com/avrx520bt/eu/en/GFNFSYgobaybmw.php

You do need to use the "surround" connections, which are for the side speakers.

you have a 5.1 receiver.Your receiver does not support rear speakers, only side surround.

The "rear speaker" designation is for the rear, or the last 2 speakers in a 7.1 system. Your receiver has no provision for seven speakers, only five.

Also, be aware that your "non active subwoofer" will not work with the Denon.

Thanks a lot for your precious info. I hope you can suggest me a good but cheap receiver please, that supports rear speakers too. My budget is around 300 euro. Thanks again one.

I don't know what the European market offers but you should be looking for 7.1 channel receivers.

In my country I have found some receivers with my budget. They are
Sony STR-DH750
Onkyo TX-NR626
Denon AVR-1200W

Can you establish a ranking of 3 receivers please? What is the best and worst?
Thanks a lot!

You can connect your subwoofer to either one.

 

[FoxAdriano]

The last question. I hope you can reply me quickly please because I need to buy a receiver now. I have just found this new receiver with a good price: Onkyo TX-NR545. In your opinion is it a good receiver? Is it good like Denon AVR-1200W? Which receiver would you buy between Onkyo TX-NR545 and Sony STR-DH750? Thanks again one.

Among those 3, the Denon for sure. You should get a powered subwoofer.

you keep asking the same question, over and over, in two separate threads. That's not proper etiquette.

Apparently you either don't believe us or simply want us to affirm your choices.

You may be going to the well once two often. We like helping but when I feel someone's hand creeping up my thigh, I bow out.

 

[FoxAdriano]

Yes, you are right. I'm sorry for it. I did a post on another thread but as nobody answered me I did anoither post here because I have so little time to buy it. But still I don't know if in your opinion is better Onkyo TX-NR545 and Sony STR-DH750. I have just notices Sony was shipped on 2014, Onkyo was shipped some months ago.

Some of my most memorable experiences started like that.
