Hi! Yes, you can definitely plug the Fire TV Stick 4K Max directly into your Onkyo AV receiver's HDMI port labeled "streaming device"! This is actually a common and recommended setup. Benefits of connecting to your receiver: Better audio quality - Your receiver can handle Dolby Atmos and other advanced audio formats from the Fire Stick Single remote control - The Fire Stick remote can control your TV and receiver volume/power Cleaner cable management - Fewer cables running to your TV Setup notes: Make sure your receiver supports HDMI passthrough for 4K content The Fire Stick may need the included HDMI extension cable for proper fit in some receiver HDMI slots You'll still need to plug the Fire Stick's power cable into a wall outlet or USB port Many customers mention in reviews that this setup works perfectly with their AV receivers, and some specifically note they had to purchase additional HDMI extension cables for cabinet installations. Hope this information helps, have a great day!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The only purposeful reason to setup this way is for separate audio, otherwise the bluetooth option works great; there are gaming scenarios, but not mentioned
