Q: QuestionDoes the i/r plug work if receiver is inside a close cabinet

Asked 10 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, it will. For this, an AVR would be in an enclosed cabinet with the IR repeater connected to the AVR with the receiver outside the cabinet so that the remote commands would be accepted. I hope this helps. Regards, Carl

Q: QuestionI'm replacing Sony Str501. Would like to use those speakers and add 2 and subwoofer. It's all wired. What receiver would do that best?

Asked 10 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, Thank you so much for your inquiry! For replacing your Sony STR501 receiver and using your existing wired speakers, adding two more speakers and a subwoofer, the Sony STR-DH190 would be a suitable option. This receiver supports wired connections and can handle multiple speakers, making it a good fit for your setup. If you need more advanced features or higher power output, you might also consider the Sony STR-DN1080, which offers more connectivity options and better support for a multi-speaker setup. I hope this helps! Regards, Carl
