Yes,it should work great. But you will need to use a Certified high speed HDMI cable to go from TV to Receiver and set the settings on your apps and the stick.

To set this up, you'll need to connect the Roku streaming stick to your TV and then connect the TV's audio output to your Yamaha receiver. Ensure that your receiver and your TV support the appropriate audio connections (e.g., HDMI ARC, optical audio, or audio cables) This allows the audio from the Roku apps to pass through the TV to your receiver, providing surround sound when supported by both your TV and receiver. YOu may also need to adjust your TV's audio settings to enable this set up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My older TV (2015) HDMI connection was not able to pass multi-channel sound. To get around this, plug the Roku directly into the stereo unit (I have an Onkyo) and use an ARC HDMI line from the stereo to the TV. Five or six-channel surround (including Atmos+ where available from source) goes directly through the stereo to your speakers while the video goes back through the ARC line to the TV. It sounds and looks great.
