Q: QuestionWill this work with jbl 510

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I'd have to say no. The Yamaha minimum impedance is 6 ohms. The JBL set looks like it's 4 ohms. Too low an impedance will result in weak output and poor tone.

Q: QuestionDo I connect the HDMI from the receiver to the cable box or the receiver to the TV do I have to connect all my devices by HDMI to the receiver to get sound for each device

Asked 6 years ago by Marcellius.

• A:Answer Merciellus, you will connect your cable box to the hdmi inputs on the receiver. Do the same for your blu Ray player, video game system, roku system, etc. You can connect by HDMI or by the red, yellow, white A/V cables. Those will have a lower quality image and sound quality though. Then connect another hdmi from the tv to the hdmi port on the receiver. This will allow you to play all your devices you connected on the inputs through your tv.

Asked 1 month ago by Thezekester.

• A:Answer No, it doesn’t. There is no “Phono” input. I have to use an older receiver with a Phono input to play vinyl on a turntable from the receiver into an Aux input on this Yamaha RX -V385BL receiver.
