Using the tv as a secondary computer monitor, thank you, this helped fix the annoyance of having to cycle over to hdmi one before the tv started blaring ads for upcoming shows
Movie is more of a simulated but almost real 5.1 sound. Direct will output surround sound as the director intendent it to be. Meaning, if there's supposed to be sound coming from the rear surround speakers, you will hear sound coming out of them. If no sound should be heard then you will not hear anything. With movie on the other hand, it simulates the sound so you will hear sound coming from the rear speakers even though you shouldn't. I had it set to: Surround Sound > ON, EQ > Direct, DTS Virtual:X > OFF, DTS TruVolume > OFF. You will need to adjust the levels for the Bass, Treble, Dialogue, Center Channel, Surround Level & Balance, and the Subwoofer. I can not tell you how much to increase each one since your room size and placement of the speakers will not be the same as mine. Just keep in mind when you increase the Dialogue, it's not the same as when you increase the Center Channel. Dialogue increases the dialogue from all the speakers where Center channel increases the dialogue coming only from the center channel. Something to play around with to see what sounds best for you. Let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions.
You're welcome! It's a starting point. It will take a little time to fine tune it but I'm sure you will get it just right to the way it sounds the best for you. Always here if you have any questions.
Excellent, and thank you very much for this tutorial. I just spent 3 hours setting up an Insignia Fire TV for my mom, who is 89 years old and watches mostly cable channels, and occasionally a DVD. It would be very nice to have her TV come up on HDMI 1 where her cable is connected. I like finding a helpful video that applies exactly to my situation like this one does.
You are very welcome! Now, if only Amazon saw this video and realized that they should make this a permanent solution not just a fix, that would be awesome! We can only hope!
@@DJsTutorials I looked through the menus under setup (gear thing) assuming that there would be some way to set which input is selected at power-on, but I didn't go deep enough. I The location of the item you demonstrated here is awkward and not really intuitive - I would expect it to be near the A/V preferences like brightness, color balance, audio controls, etc. I suspect that Amazon deliberately buried the default input selection so that people would continue to see all of their marketing stuff on the Fire home screen.
Sir I have a question that my tv stick remote don't show input or even I ask Alexa to change input it says Sorry or something but volume and power buttons are working properly. And a sound comes when I tap Menu button to change input but nothings happens, no new screen appears . PLease help me out 😭😭
What is connected to the input you are trying to switch to? If it is a game console, cable box, or DVD/Blu-ray player, try adding it to Equipment Control ( Go to Settings > Equipment Control > Manage Equipment > Add Equipment) and then say, for example: "Switch to Blu-ray".
@@DJsTutorialsI've got the same problem as the other guy it works for volume and power for my TCL TV works but I can't switch inputs mainly so I can switch to my playstation. When I do what you've said it says receiver or soundbar what do I do from there and want brand should I use same as TV? Please help.
@@dennisgoatimer1079 When you go to "Add Equipment", you should see "PlayStation" as an option to select to add. Choose that, and as you will see on the right side description, all you have to do after you finished setting it up, just say "Switch to PlayStation". Let me know how it goes.
@dennisgoatimer1079 if you don't see it that means there's either one already set-up under "Manage Equipment" or another console like Xbox in there. You will need to remove it first in order to add the Playstation
@@raynaldomorris555 Try adding the PS4 in Equipment Control. Go to Settings > Equipment Control > Manage Equipment > Add Equipment. Make sure to set which input the ps4 is connected to on the TV like HDMI 2 for example. Once that is setup, try saying "Switch to PS4"
@@raynaldomorris555 You can check to see if there is a different IR profile for your TV that you can change to. Under Equipment > TV > Infrared Options > IR Profile
Not the perfect solution, but not your fault. This should be a permanent setting (FIRETV) I hate that it wants to be a tablet when I just wanted a TV, the Fire stuff is extra for me (I have sticks and cubes and other smart TVs too - they know they are first a TV not an app). I did appreciate the warning about auto-updates changing this setting back to original, that explains why my TV reverts to NOT starting in HDMI mode every now and then (of course this should not occur on updates, either - when EDGE updates all my settings stay as I had set them, so isn't tough to retain my personal settings, come on Amazon, do better!) I have to say, I HATE my Fire TV, mostly because of this. Even when it works it takes too long to actually start on HDMI.
Appreciate it! One thing I like about Roku TVs is it has a permanent setting instead of last input. Even when it updates, when you turn it on, it goes straight to the input you set it to. Maybe, and this is a big maybe, Amazon will eventually offer that option.
Thanks for showing this. However, I have an Xfinity cable box on HDMI1. I paired the Xfinity remote with the Insignia Fire TV and I can use it to power off the tv and control the volume. However, the input button doesn't change the TV's input. Do you know a way to make that work?
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope all is well. Always a pleasure seeing you bro. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
Part 3 and 4 are on my website. I had to take them down before I get a strike. Not easy anymore to post a video on here without taking a risk of getting a strike.
It shouldn't mess up the speaker. I would do a Speaker Test first. It's under Setup > Speaker Test > OK. Also, check the Level for the rear speakers that it's not too low. Also check the other settings, like EQ if it is set to Movie or Direct (I prefer Direct) Surround Sound is set to ON and Virtual:X is OFF.
You can try plugging it in another HDMI port and if that doesn't work check the USB port with another device to see if there's power. Use like a cell phone
That is a possibility. You can try unplugging all the cables from the Fire Stick, even the HDMI extension, and let it sit for a while and then plug everything again. Sometimes that helps.
You will need to that within the Fire Stick Manage Equipment settings. Add "Apple TV" in Equipment Control and let the Fire Stick know which HDMI input Apple TV is connected to like HDMI 2. Then you can say Switch to Apple TV instead of HDMI 2.
Hey I need help, when I try to adjust the level of the bass, treble, etc. whenever I click left or right (for increase decrease) it will work once, then when I press the button again to increase or decrease the remote will switch to “VIZIO” like it’ll say that on the little screen on the remote. And the adjustments don’t work so I have to go back to bass, click once again, then it’ll say “VIZIO” again (rinse repeat) it’s more of an inconvenience but it’s still annoying and I’m wondering if there’s a fix?
@@DJsTutorials Roku devices support both Dolby and DTS audio, and using the Roku audio settings, you could choose which sound system to use if what you're watching uses it.
