A:AnswerHi CarpenterJon,
If the cable box is connected to the AV receiver, you have to turn on the AV receiver to make it work. You can connect the cable box directly to the TV and simply don't turn on the AV receiver.

A:Answerabsolutely not!!! It will work great with those speakers. This has 145 watts per channel and the speakers are capable of handling 100 watts. I have a pair of Paradygm bookshelf speakers for the front and some 26 year old sony speakers in the back and thinking of getting these for the back to replace them. I also have the sony sc 5 center speaker and the sony cs5 sub woofer to go along with the receiver. Chances of you listening to anything over 100 decibels for very long is doubtful unless you want hearing loss.
A:AnswerHi Bradgett,
Thank you for the interest! AV receiver dimension (WxHxD inches) 17 x 5 1/4 x 11 3/4 in (430 x 133 x 297 mm).
Hope this helps!

A:AnswerHi Arthur,
Unfortunately, you cannot connect a stereo speaker selector to this AV receiver. See page 11 from this link to check the speaker terminals available for this unit.

A:AnswerHi Wood,
We still recommend using the remote control of your TV to power it on.

A:AnswerHi Customer,
No, you cannot connect a soundbar to this AV receiver. We recommend connecting wired speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. This unit also doesn't support phono input. You may consider STRDH190, it has phono Inputs and Bluetooth.
Hope this helps!

A:AnswerNo there is only a main left and right and center right surround and left surround. I suggest if you are using this amplifier to get an impedance matching speaker selector, you can run one set indoor/outdoor or both at the same time.
A:AnswerNot sure. The set-up in the manual shows just using the top RCA jack to connect the subwoofer. Maybe it's needed to be compatible with some other subwoofers or to wire to two left and right speakers that have a separate subwoofer connection.
A:AnswerAfter auto calibration you can adjust each of the 5 channels by +/- 10 db. The subwoofer output is an RCA jack so you should be able to connect.
A:AnswerYes. There are 5 4K HDMI ports, TV ARC out (which is what I have my Samsung Smart TV connected to), Game In, SAT/CATV In, BD/DVD In, and Media Box In.
A:AnswerHi steveMD,
Unfortunately, this AV receiver doesn't have internet connectivity. Yes, you can use Roku stick with this AV receiver.

A:AnswerHi moto,
It will work as long as the speakers are within a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms. Lower than 6 or higher than 16 ohms will not work.

David
A:AnswerIt does. But it is not a switch. It is more of a “mode” that you can change from 2CH/Movie/Music/Night settings. This triggers different combinations of your front/surround/center/sub speakers as needed.
A:AnswerNo it does not have an operating system to run smart TVs apps such as Netflix or YouTube. You would also need a smart device like a bluray player or Roku.
