What to do next ....

Well, it’s possible(not sure how likely) that Netflix is set to 2.0 and the AVR is set to straight or direct. Do the surrounds work?
Can you scroll through different “surround modes”. I think your remot has a button that says “surround” on it. Have you tried that? Also, have you verified output settings on Netflix? What are you streaming Netflix with?

My oled lg tv i use for streaming. I can cycle through many different chanel of surround.

Ok. Don’t know for sure, but I think some tv’s only output 2.0.

IIRC you have a 4K player. I would use that. I use a Sony bdp700. 4K for streaming. It’s excellent.

So again, I would use the BD player to stream, but first I’d put in a disk and see what you get.

As you can see. I am all on small, but i dont know if i should use monaural or left + right

Monaural. X2

As an aside, I would suggest getting a Y adapter to connect your sub cable to both inputs. Cool little trick. 'Post a pic in a moment.

Beyond that, William's got you covered! That TV might be the issue, especially if you are using ARC. An option that might clear that is if you have a optical output from your TV to the AVR. But over that, a good 4K Blu-ray like the Sony X-700 or 800, or similarly capable competitor.

Well know there is no sound and image coming out of my 4k player. I see the menu but no mov8ng image at all . I am going to bed. I will tried to figure it out tomorow

I have a x700. But at the moment i am not getting and image, exept the main menu of my 4k player. I think the problem is coming from a setup in my AV.

Tv is ok because i use to watch in 5.1 without any problem. But since i have redone my HT and bought two new subs, am having some issue. Bur i am pretty confident i will find a solution.

BTW my AV can accomodate two subs with diffent setting, so i shoulsnt need a Y connector

Not on the AVR side, on the Sub side. Shortly, my friend...

Only time that's really anything to consider is if you have extremely low output levels on the pre-outs and need additional gain as using both inputs on the sub can yield a 6dB gain advantage, but most commercial subs do not need this with the vast majority of avrs.

Hummm now you got me good. Can you explain it to me or show me a picture. I dont see how a Y can fit at the end of my subs?

He's talking about using both the L/R inputs on a sub rather than a single one (or LFE designated input). There's a slight electrical advantage if the pre-out level of your avr is particularly low and the sub amp having a high sensitivity threshold...that's unusual, tho.

Here’s a pic.
I only mean to introduce this as an option. I learned it here, myself. For me, the main thing I got from it was that my Auto-On feature worked more consistently than it did with just the single LFE feed.
I’ve seen references to the decibel gain that Lovin’ mentioned above, but even now didn’t see anything on a quick internet search. Moreover, I don’t recall ever needing to adjust my gain down after doing this in terms of running Audyssey. But then, I also turn my subs down a little after Audyssey because they run a little too hot for most music I listen too.
Regardless, this was only in response to your comment about which input to plug into: if one is labeled LFE (usually I think it’s the ‘right’ channel, either one can/should work, or both.

Cheers!

I missed any reference to which input to use. Generally you use the sub input labeled LFE (and it will usually cut out the low pass filter setting on the sub, or you just maximize the low pass filter setting on the sub....often misslabeled "crossover"). The auto on thing with some sub amps can need some tweaking as to sub pre-out level/sub gain level).

Can you link the product so i have a better idea of what i need to buy.

Nice Lovin’! After a year here, this is a new article to me.

Audioholics is like the gift that keeps on giving! Lol
FWIW, I used to have auto on issues to if my sub level was less than -7 or -8. I just make sure it’s around -3 or -4 now. All good.

You don’t “need” to do anything. No magic here.
If you want to try it, just get an RCA 1female-to-2male Y adapter/splitter for each Sub.

I will tried that... hopefully my subs will work .

We’re here for you, man. Try the suggestions we’ve given... there might be other things, and we will continue helping you troubleshoot.

Couple of question.

LFE and line unbalanced inputs. Do i plug my coaxial on the red or the white?

About the other setting on the first image above. I could use some advice. I think i got it correctly setup using the use guide, but i could use more advise, just to be sure
