Q: Can this receiver be paired with bluetooth headphones?
A: Hi Dave, Yes - the AVR-S660H can transmit a Bluetooth signal to bluetooth-enabled headphones. Here is a link with the details: https://manuals.denon.com/AVRS660H/NA/EN/DRDZSYyhpiwfqz.php
A: Hi Johnny, The AVR-S660H has no less than three HDMI 2.1 inputs (labeled as 8K). A PS5 and an XBox Series X can both connected at the same time. Of course, only one of which can be displayed at a time.
Q: What kind of subwoffer do I need for bass and how do I hook it up too hear it
A: There are two (2) SUBWOOFER pre-outs on the rear of the unit. You will need a self-powered subwoofer (they come in a variety of sizes and power outputs!) for this and an RCA type connector cable (all of my new subs came with a cable in their box) that has one male end plug for the AVR subwoofer output and either one or two male end plugs for the input on the subwoofer(s). Once installed, go into your AVR's menu to set up for the subwoofer(s). It really is easy to do and as I said, you can hook up two subs (again, if you unit has two!) if that is something you desire. I have two 10 inch subs on my home theater setup from my Denon AVR-X4300H that I bought at my local Best Buy a couple of years ago (Two 10 inch subs!) For my new Denon AVR-S660H I am using a Martin-Logan 10 inch Sub that I also bought a few years ago at Best Buy and it works great with this AVR. All the best! SSSS
Q: Do I need banana plugs to plug in speakers or will regular speaker wire work?
A: Regular speaker wire will work fine. You can unscrew the speaker connector to expose the hole for the speaker wire. Tighten the speaker connector and you are finished. I will say that banana plugs make life easier if you ever need to remove your speaker wire for whatever reason.
A: Hi Bob4, I don't see anything about ARC listed in the spec's of your Sharp AQUOS LC-40LE700UN. The best way to enjoy sound from any sources originating from your TV is to connect your Sharp AQUOS LC-40LE700UN to the AVR-S660H with an optical cable for audio. HDMI is recommended for sending any Video information from the AVR-S660H to your TV.
A: Hello, Yes indeed - with the AVR-S660H there is typically a small plastic cap on the end of the speaker terminal which needs to be removed for the insertion of 4 mm banana plugs.
Q: iis the remote learnable; be used to turn off a sony tv
A: The provided remote control is not a learnable remote control. However, with today's HDMI control, the TV, Receiver, and Sources communicate using CEC (HDMI Control). Basic control is provided with this new technology—power on and off plus volume. Once the receiver is appropriately set up, the need for the receiver's remote should be rare.
Q: Can I use my cell phone to play music on U-Tube with this unit?
A: Yes you can play youtube audio content on the AVR-S660H. The audio signal needs to be sent to the receiver via bluetooth.
