Yep dual subs is way better. You will have a full range setup. They got 8ft hdmi for like 10 bucks.
Today i purchased the sony str dh790 and i can only hope to see if will power my speakers well. Also what causes flutter?
that receiver is very expensive considering you are using bluetooth from a phone on a desk with a computer? why not use the computer to feed signal so you dont have to switch to your phone to use the speakers? do you not watch youtube or movies on the PC and want the speakers for audio? i see a 3.5mm output on your PC you could use. Also thats a very expensive huge receiver for a PC set up or a bluetooth set up. It will obviously power those speakers more than enough but something much smaller and cheaper would have worked fine. what do you mean by flutter?
I’ve heard the word before and i wanted to know what it means. Also i have the receiver connected through hdmi directly into my pc and the receiver into my monitor. I get both sound and video. However i am using foobar2000 to play my music and i noticed a 2 second delay in audio when i would play a song. Any solutions to this problem?
In order test delay, play a video on your computer and see how long the audio is off from the mouth of the person speaking. if its bad it could be the receiver processing the image differently than the audio or you are using the wrong hdmi or arc port or something. other than that i would try the 3.5mm green port on the back and get an adapter from that to RCA and use that as your audio to the receiver and then just connect hdmi to your monitor directly. it could just be your PC but you need another way to connect in order to check.
I baught a new hdmi cable and i am waiting for it to arrive. I will try the video method and if it does delay I’ll try the new cable if that doesn’t work I’ll buy an rca to 3.5 cable. Where is the rca cable connected on the receiver so that i can connect the 3.5 end into my computer.
directly to the left of the subwoofer out . you can use any of those RCA inputs but i see different labels for HDMI inputs so maybe you are using the wrong one. i would try them all for delay.
Ah ok I’ll do that so far I’ve only tried the game input and cable sat for my pc. I’ll try the rest today.
I found out that if i used the arc out from the receiver into my monitor i only get video no sound. My monitor does not have an arc output.
yes arc is something i have never used but i believe whatever you use it with i think needs to support it directly. i would bypass that with RCA and just go straight to the monitor from your PC with HDMI
So you’re saying to go hdmi out from the pc to the monitor. And rca from the receiver into the line out jack right?
yes. should also have no lag
Does the cable quality matter? Do i need good cables for this.
no. as long as its not a broken connection it will work. anything amazon basics will work despite what some people will say. pay over 10$ for hdmi and over 5$ for an adapter or maybe a little more
I tried an rca to 3.5 cable that my neighbor let me borrow and i connected from the pc to the receiver directly and the pc to the monitor directly with hdmi and it worked perfectly. I get no lag. Now i have to buy one.
yep thats good
Can a passive sub be used with the receiver i have. I have an old sony sub that i think is passive and has spring clips as the connection type. How do i use it.
no, that receiver to my knowledge does not have a subwoofer out ( the raw spring clip with raw wire ) it has a subwoofer out for ACTIVE sub. as in the sub has its own amp inside and uses the RCA sub out on the receiver .
Ah ik i guess I’ll look into a powered sub. Any recommendations?
depends on your budget. SVS is considered summit- fi or mid fi level of quality , for a couple hundred bucks to a couple thousand. you can go cheaper and get a dayton or polk audio sub . just remember the sealed subs with passive radiators will be better for music and have more tight bass. and the large ported subs are better for home theatre and movies . watch some of zeos or anyone elses subwoofer reviews.
