Roku streaming stick

[highfigh]

Further investigation was told I can effectively use an extension HDMI cable to hook up to the receivers HDMI and the roku stick so I will try that there relatively cheap . Ill experiment with placement with a 3 to 6 ft cable iam told ill not loose and signal .

That should cause no problems. You should be able to use an HDMI coupler if needed, too.

I have never been a fan of HDMI, but in using it for installations over the last 15+ years, I have had success using Vanco cables and couplers. For longer runs between an AVR and display without ARC, the active ones can work, but not with ARC (they're directional).

Not a name ive herd of but iam always open for new names to to check out . The ARC thing is something I don't completely understand yet that will be a discussion down the road as I try to understand all the features that these new receivers offer for the novice there's a lot to comprehend on some features and there applications .

ARC stands for 'Audio Return Channel' and is used when the TV is used for off-air channels or streaming, where the audio would normally only come through the TV's speakers and you want it to come from the main system, instead. If you're not using either, you don't need to worry about it. Personally, I prefer to use the TV only as a display and separate devices as sources so that the video goes to the display and it does nothing else. I have used some TVs that make it hard to return to other inputs from the streaming functions when a universal remote was used and it's very confusing for some people, especially if they aren't accustomed to this kind of problem solving.

Unfortunately for anyone who changes things in their system more than only a few times, HDMI was never intended or designed to be a durable connection- it was designed to go 6' and left alone once it was connected. I don't know the people behind it personally, but I think they should return any awards or money they received for this debacle. I entered 'HDMI problems' in the google search bar and it came up with 34 million hits.

For awhile I tried to play with it ( on my Yamaha RX-A 3020 ) was trying to get sound from my Blu-ray to output to my TV speakers with out having the receiver on pass threw they call it I duno I just couldn't make happen mainly for my wife's ease of use when the grand kids are over . they not aloud to touch pap's toys lol . That sounds pretty much how mines hooked up now I basically use it for a display for all my sources and let the receiver handle it all to the tv . Sometimes they build stuff into these that an engineering degree is needed to employ the functions correctly but hey that's the fun of Home Theater .

Why not just turn the TV on, so you can see the tracks on the discs? THAT'S easier than looking at the BD display or trying to remember the order and titles.

currently have my roku stick plugged in an hdmi on our tv and it works great question I have is I can only get sound to receiver with an fiber optic from the tv . is it possible to plug this into my receivers hdmi and gain the full benefits of the receivers processer . I've looked on YouTube and other online sources and cant find much . Receiver is a Yamaha RZ-A 3020 . The audio seems very good but would hooking up this way be better all the way around its a Hd / 4 K / Hdr stick .

Does your tv or receiver have arc channels???
My Sony tv is super obsolete 4k tv w no hdr and it has audio return channel hdmi ..
