I have mine run thru my Yamaha receiver and the only issue I have is sometimes I have to turn on and off the receiver to get sound
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I pipe mine into my Yamaha via hdmi then from the Yamaha to the TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can but unless your receiver has 4K pass through the guy at Best Buy said it won't work for streaming 4K content in which case I would buy the cheaper one unless you plan on upgrading soon
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can do it either way... The "trick" is going to be which gives you the best upscaling results... Roku supports up to 4k. Your TV may or may not support upscaling of lower resolution signals. With THREE devices vying to UPSCALE the signal it WILL wind up "too many cooks in the kitchen". I'm presuming your reason for wanting direct to receiver connection is to allow your receiver to be your HDMI "switch" or source selector. Strictly from reading, not hands on, you want the Yamaha to process the SOUND but let the TV process the upscale/video. You'll want to disable the enhancement of video on the Yamaha presuming your TV does a better job of handling video. Just keep your cables short, no loops/kinks and power cables away from sound/video cables as much as possible, otherwise your units will enhance the noise also.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can directly connect your hdmi from RoKu to your hdmi on the Yamaha A/V receiver. I have mine set up that way, also a TiVo, an Xbox and a TWC cable box. If it's HDMI than you can plug it in.
