Thanks everyone, I just ordered! Is there anything I need to do in order to make it work with my receiver or does it work right out of the box?

I didn't setup anything in my remote control at all. Just put the battery in and my receiver is ready to control.

did you hook the receiver to the soundbar so the receiver should be the output and the soudbar should be the input if it is the other way it will not work

Thanks, I ordered the cables but now I'm not sure how to hook it up to my 6.1 Sony receiver. All the rear jack labels match but I have one conflict:The Sony DVD has 2 surround back but my receiver has one. I am currently using the receiver to mix the extra info to the rear (5.1) as I don't have any physical back speakers. If I set the DVD player to 5.1 & omit the cable, will I lose any info? I know it sounds confusing but I just want to make sure the player will send the info to the available speakers.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0. Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up.

Contact the seller first then amazon if you get no satisfactory response, I have had less than stellar results but only because I am using it with a non HD receiver.

Did u match the code on the receiver....you might have to look for the manual online and do a factory reset of everything

You should be able to run an hdmi cable from the reciever to the tv and make sure the sound settings on the tv are set to output to the hdmi and make sure your box is turned on and set to the hdmi input

It should work. I think that the power supply is the standard one for most of the older receivers. Good luck!

It should definetely work with your receiver. I have the same receiver. Should have a USB port in the front and a couple in the back. I've connected my ota to the rear then you have to press menu on the remote. Then click diagnostics. Then click over the air locals. You can then scan for channels and save. They should automatically appear in the guide in yellow. Doug

Make sure your: 1) Cables are plug in and secure from the tv to the receiver. (RCA, HDMI, Coax..etc) 2) You pressed the right command Aux, tv, dvd..etc from the receiver. You might have tried all this but from here its all i can advised you.Me personally have a HDMI and Coax cable hooked from the receiver to my TV and it sound great.

Make sure you order from amazon to get receiver. If you order it from someone else, apparently you get a knock off with no receiver.

You could try to update the firmware on your receiver, it worked for me. Very easy to do, but it ties up the receiver for an hour. See page 122 of the manual on how to do it. (https://docs.sony.com/release/STRDA5800ES_EN_FR.pdf)

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

It likely has nothing to do with the receiver. You may need to go to the cable/satellite receiver settings and change it to HDMI output.

excellent receiver for the money! Hook it up per the instructions given by the manufacturer!

I have the dish setup and just need the box. What do i need to do to have it fully functional?

Check the rear of the receiver. If there is an RCA connector marked "sub out" or "lfe out" or similar, it will work just fine. It will probably be yellow in color. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't such a connector on any modern receiver.
