Can I hook this receiver up to my internet router via Ethernet cable, and then HDMI cable to my Plasma TV and receive Netflix services that way?

Hello Ronald and thank you for your inquiry.The Marantz receiver does not support NetFlix but maybe your TV does?If not, you can add a streamer to your system to support NetFlix easy enough.We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions!Thank you,Scott

No, you won't be able to do that. A cheap solution would be to get the $35 Google Chromecast.

Yes - but it doesn't "natively" do Netflix. It does nativiely, Sirius, Pandora, Flickr, and Internet radio.

No, the receiver doesn't have an application to support Netflix streaming. It will work with a roku, Apple TV, playstation, etc.

The only services that will pass through would be Pandora or Spotify (Premium). Video will not work.

Can you hook this unit directly to an HDTV using an HDMI cable but with no receiver?

No. These have nothing to do with your router or Ethernet. These just happen to be using Ethernet wire, because it is cheap and effective, to run HDMI signals from point a to b. It starts with HDMI and ends with HDMI. There is no internet involved.

Yes, but it failed to work when i tried to stream movies off netflix, it worked for a few seconds and then it stopped completely

I know you can do a direct connection to the computer because I work from home and that's how I have it wired. I've never tried to play Netflix off of it because I use the xbox/ps3 for that. But I have no problems with the direct connection with the ethernet cord to the computer.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

Yes, you connect the TV wirelessly to your router - so then you can surf the net, watch NetFlix, etc - without having to plug things into the TV itself.

Run an ethernet cable to a router that hooks up to the internet. The computer hooks to the internet the same way, so the two install the same way. We Stream Netflix.

Yes! I do it all the time with Netflix and Dishanywhere. Works perfect and may take time to find the internet connection setup. I use the Asus RT-N66R Router.

You cannot have Netflix on any audio receiver which is what this is. The sound from the TV is the only thing that comes into it so you can listen to it through your speakers. I researched all receivers and none have this feature. The main reason is no receiver has a video processing section in it, it's all audio. What I did is to buy a cheap Bluray player which does have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon's Prime and dozens of other on-line movies to watch. I prefer Amazon's Prime, which for an annual subscription provides the same type of movies, but 1,000% better video and audio quality. BTW, you also must have an internet connection to see any of these services, including Netflix plugged into your Bluray player.

No it didn't work. We wound up having to hook it up by wire to our wireless router in order to get Internet access for Netflix.

It is not possible. Why can't you run another ethernet cable from your router directly to the TV?

This is just a signal booster not a full router. I assume if your overall internet connection is strong enough you will be able to stream Netflix.

Yes you can stream from Netflix, Hulu, amazon video as long as you have it connected wired/wireless to the interweb

Just looked and the answer is no, unless you run the hcmi cable through the receiver. It only has the Ethernet cable input and the hcmi input.

Well, you do have analog left and right channels coming from Wii (I mean, the sound has got to come from somewhere, right?), which you could plug into any vacancy you might have. Or, if you have one, run a digital line OUT of your TV to the receiver. This would work for everything you had hooked up to your TV already when you add the Onkyo receiver. If everything was digital, this would work fine. In my case, I had analog running from the DVD; now have coaxial running to the receiver to get Dolby Digital (left the component video cables hooked to the TV rather than buy another set). Netflix and Wii just announced that you will be able to stream movies in over your Wii wireless connection! You will receive a disc to insert into your console, and then... The Onkyo receiver does a decent job of faking a surround sound. I guess the day is coming for a new Wii console with digital sound.
