How to connect and setup ARC & HDMI CONTROL TV setup on Pioneer Receiver Review and turn on audio sound volume to back rear home theater surround sound speakers video tutorial service setup guide
Thank you for posting this! Man that is buried in the setup options. My receiver worked fine for a full month and one day the ARC function magically turned off. If not for this video i would have brought my sc-71 back to the store for no reason!
Thank you so much searched for ages until found your video now fixed. There was delay in getting menu on screen VSX-922 when got scrolled down HDMI set ARC ON.. Works fine🙂
You are awesome! I have had my tv for a couple years and nobody could help get my sound through the receiver when I used my smart tv option for Pandora or Netflix. Your video was simple and I now can rock! Thank you!!
Surprised the hell out of me when I tried the TV volume and it automatically controlled my VSX-530-K's volume. I upgraded from a 20 year old Pro-Logic system. This system is a lot simpler. I'm very impressed how well it integrates with our new TV.
this helped me - getting proper encoding display icons on my receiver now. I'll be happy when i get over the fact i havent been using it for the past 8 years. I had been using an optical digital out cable. Now the receiver is "smart" and switches device automatically. I had been noticing that with some movies being served from my Plex that the audio would go out of sync - I am hopeful this will solve that. Thank you!
Hey @jeffrey, I was trying to do this for a while and no success. Now connected with optical. Can you please help me confirm the setup? ARC from TV goes into which HDMI port in the receiver? BD, DVD, SAT, or Game ?
@@SubinPaul you have to have a arc input on your receiver thats the hdmi port u want to go to your tvs arc. Along as your receiver has a arc input you all set.
Thanks for this, I got a new smart TVand it was driving me mad trying to get the sound from it through my home theatre. Watching this it took me 2 minutes to sort it.
This is the video I've been looking for all day! I just bought my receiver this morning and I gave up cause I didn't understand how to plug in my bose speakers. Thanks for this video I'm going to try again tomorrow.
I need help. I have -523 model but it still has the arc setting and my TV has the arc HDMI. I did what you did but nothing happens.do all HDMI cables work or is there a certain one you need to have.
Thank you buddy actually I have cable and all just didn't know how to modify the speaker because when Im solo home I play music, I called now my dad but he said he have work to do he couldn't explain to me how to turn it on. But I know it now by own thanks buddy helpful video, subbed!
i cannot understund this when the receiver has one hdmi out and a lot of hdmi in how to conect up to 2 hdmi devices is hdmi out sents signal for all hdmi in???
It looks like you have to leave the cabinet door open to let in air. The AV receiver will become hot if it is fully operational for a long period of time
Your video is really helpful. Can you please help me on my problem. I have new pioneer SC-1522-k reciever, samsung blu-ray player, samsung smart tv. Now i'm connecting all inputs via hdmi. Samsung tv to reciever, blu-ray to reciever( which have input for BD) cable box to reciever also. Now when i play the blu-ray, there is sound out of the speakers but no picture from the tv? What's wrong with it?
make sure receiver's hdmi out goes into samsung TV's hdmi1 or hdmi2 input. make sure you use high speed 1.4 hdmi cable, reset system by unplugging powercord for 1 minute. 8^)
Hi, Tks for uploading this video. Somehow I still can't get my Pioneer VSX-924 to connect with my TV via ARC. The TV's ARC HDMI ARC output works fine with a soundbar so it has to be my Pioneer receiver. Does it matter which input I plug in? I have tried almost all inputs and have turned on the ARC via System settings/HDMI settings. But when I go to my Input Settings and go donw, I don't see ARC on any inputs. Only TV has optical and CD has Coaxial/Optical. So I'm using an optical cable for sound at the moment. Was wondering if you could help me out. Tks
Thank you for your post as it was very useful. However, if you want the Pioneer AV Receiver to be the master, that is control blu-ray, HDD Recorder, & TV. How do you set that up? I have tried everything way but without success. I like you have a Pioneer AV Receiver but a Panasonic Blu Ray, HDD Recorder & TV.
I have a question on my pioneer vsx1016txv Receiver for hdmi out to the tv it doesn't have any Arc on it but only on the back of my TV and with my pioneer receiver i get picture but no sound and I have to use the hdmi for picture and optical for sound and I need to know what I can do to fix this problem and can i hookup my receiver that has the output only and no Arc on the back of the receiver and can i hookup my receiver to the arc hdmi on the back of my TV as I have it hookup to hdmi 2 on the tv because I was told that I can't hook it up to the arc hdmi on the tv please let me know what I can do to fix this issue so I can use hdmi for both sound and picture and not use the optical at all
I have a Pioneer VSX92TXH receiver that does not have a home button. How to substitute? Also My Samsung TV does not have a HDMI out. There is optical audio OUT which would connect to receiver IN, but no sound. Any ideas.
Hey brother! one question. I actually reseted the amp because I think I moved something there that is not letting the audio come out in the rear speakers when I choose the ext stereo but it did not work. I had it setup perfectly and ended screwing it up. Do you have any other idea on how to solve this? Thanks
will this work or how do I get it to the wired speakers the same but have them wired in and have it to the channel that the speakers are plugged into I have a pioneer just like yours but its the 822 would it be basically the same also I can I hook up an Apple TV to it how do I get it out of the Apple TV hook the tv to the receiver or tv I need the sound to come out omg sorry im so tired typing this
I’ve got a pioneer vsx-324 and my remote won’t let me use the volume but yet the menu button works is the remote faulty ? Because shouldn’t the remote already be programmed to the recieved ? Any one got any answers for me cuz I’m scratching my head right now
Everything is working fine but if i turn on tv my receiver dont automaticly start up and same on turn off. If i turn off my tv receiver dont shut down. Any ideas how to fix that?
I have the Pioneer VSX-324. Recently bought the Bose Acoustimass am5 speakers with a subwoofer. The Bose Subwoofer connects to the speakers directly, and the subwoofer to the amplifier. My question is, if I disconnect the original Pioner Subwoofer, and the two front pioneer speakers, can I connect my bose speakers with this amplifier (I won't use the subwoofer plug behind the amplifier). Thanks.
I have this same amp, plz explain if you would my issue! When I turn off my devices, the receiver front display says "TV" and when it does this NO SOUND will come out of it. I have to pick up the remote and again hit the button to choose my source. There is no source labelled TV so what the hell does this TV display mean?!?! If I press CBL/Sat button, I want it to stay there until I hit another button, NOT bounce back to TV every time. Why is this TV option there when there is no TV labelled input in the back?
Which HDMI slot on you are using on avr? I use HDMI arc on my TV to connect on the "tv" HDMI slot on avr and when I turn on the "arc" on my avr, there is no sound
Hey I wanted to say thanks your video helped a lot. I bought these speakers online and I bought a receiver at bestbuy and it happens to be the same receiver and the same speakers you have, but can you be honest with me and agree with me that these are not the best speakers? Right..? My subwoofer I can nearly hear it . A lot of people hate Bose, but is this the reason why?
Yes i used the hdmi out going to tv, hdmi (arc input 2) samsung tv. Then if i don't want to use the reciever, just use the tv for news is there anyway to use the tv speaker without the reciever since the cable box hdmi connected to reciever? Any option?

Hey Tampatec, Question for you. When I turn on my VSX-521 receiver it switches to TV/SAT after about 5 seconds. I have to press the VIDEO button every time to be able to see the TV. How can I get it to stay on VIDEO after I turn on the receiver? Thx...Peter
Hey i almost have the same moder but its the vsx-524 the only problem i have with it is that i can't play music with my Samsung phone with the usb but if i connect a old iphone it works fine.my Samsung phone just charges but on the reciever it says nothing is connected.its been like this right out of the box.
Hey, i am trying to connect my smart tv to my amp - Pioneer vsx 521 k, with hdmi, when i turn on the tv the amp turns on so i no its connected, problem is there is no sound coming out of my sound system speakers....can you help please?
hello I have a problem with my RECEIVER pioneer vsx 522 I have it connected to a tv lg smart and I connect with HDMI (arc) and only heard 3 seconds and stops listening for another 3 second and the sound returns again and again which may be the problem
Tell me something how long does it take for after you preset stations in a home theatre receiver how long after plugging it out should the stations be erased from its memory or are they permanently in the memory and will not have to be re entered
with pioneer, the cheap ones (my vsx-324) doesnt have a manual. something gets pressed that turns off the sound on all inputs. turns out it was signal sel, cycle thru that on the remote should get your sound back. last time my dog head was resting on the remote and turned it off. Shes faulty im getting her a service.
why would use your TV as the switcher with arc? receiver has HDMI pass through or signal can pass through even when receiver is off and you won't get lossless formats on Blu-ray with this setup
Not sure on this reciever but I'm using the PS4 via ARC now as I realised my reciever (Pioneer VSX-922) does not support HDR, but my TV does. So running PS4 into TV and sending audio via ARC allows HDR. Also useful if you have a 4k source and TV but an older non-4k reciever, or don't want to introduce additional input lag for gaming devices like the Steam Link.
@@sonicwingnut : Hey guys, quick question. My recevier is little old now Pioneer VSX820 but still super powerful. Do All ARC capable receivers have it stated on the back ? My new smart Panasonic TV is and it connects fine with it but I cant turn on the TV and then the receiver with just the TV remote or vice versa !!! wondering if its just that my RC is a tad old ?
@@lawofaverages5373 ARC and HDMI control are different things. ARC is just the ability for audio to flow backward from TV ARC HDMI input back to receiver HDMI output if a source, for example a cable box or TV streaming Netflix, is originally from the TV itself with having to buy a nother optical cable. But yes both TV and receiver need to be compatible with that feature. Most devices with HDMI ports should be cec compatible, or a device's ability to communicate with another device. In your case, the TV needs to have that feature to send a signal to turn on receiver through HDMI. All brands have different names for the same things. Hope that helps
