How do I "plug" this into my receiver. Does it need to buy it dinner first?

Plug it into the Data/Bind port on a Spektrum AR8000. I'm assuming the other model receivers work the same. No dinner needed.

No. It has a port for subwoofer cable, and jacks for regular speaker wire, either way you'll need to hardwire it to your receiver.

No, nothing else is needed as it is a receiver in itself. Just plug into your tv and enjoy. We love it as the tv can sit right on top and integrates for a neat and organized look.

If your receiver passes-through the HDMI signal, then you don't need to turn the receiver on. Not all receivers do this, however. If yours does, just connect the various components to the switch's inputs, run the output to the receiver and from the receiver to the TV.

Call dish network and they will walk you throught the initial set up. Also if you don't use the receiver at least once a month you will have to go through set up each time you use it. So be sure to turn it on and let it aquire satalite signal at least one time every month

Just use speaker cable to hook up to receiver/amplifier. Speakers draw power from amplifier so no power cable needed.

To the best of my knowledge, yes you will need to power your unit on. However, you can change the listen mode to stereo if you don't want the surround sound morning news. I will tell you that for the price this thing is amazing. I've had problems with Onkyo support not being very helpful as well, but the product is great.

You can plug either an auxiliary cable or a hdmi cable. Make sure the hdmi cable is rated the same ad you tv (ie 1080i) . There's no such thing as an aux and hdmi cable combo . There totally different hook ups. I love my receiver.

Yes. It comes with a standard "S" connector. all you have to do is plug it into your receiver.

I would read the directions that were set up with it. If you have experienced a recent power outage, sometimes the sync function between the Receiver and the unit has to be reestablished. Meaning that you may have lost setup settings. Also make sure no one has flipped settings on the front or back as that will cause a problem with the unit turning on. (word to the wise, when you fix it write down the configuration in the manual) additionally the cable that is plugged in the back of the sub....make sure it wasnt pulled out of the back of your receiver by mistake. If you have this hooked up as a "speaker" and not a sub, also make sure the connections are established. Is this hooked up to a Yamaha receiver? If so you may want to cycle through the on screen setup directions and use the auto setup mic that came with the unit. Every time I have issues, I use that tool and it always seems to fix the connection issues. I know with mine, if the PCM source is not working (digital) the unit wont sence the signal and turn on. If you have multiple source inputs (DVD CD and GAme Player) you may want to make sure that they are putting out the required digital signal or it wont jump start the sub. ....I know, when did setting up Stereo equipment become a full day tech project? I am missing the analog days myself

Did the "Male PLUG" pay for dinner, movies, a show and respect the female receiver, BEFORE attempting to plug it?! Nvm.....even then it may still not accept the male plug......some receivers are fickle that way..

Make sure you are connecting to the phono input with ground wire. If you don't have a phono input jack on your receiver, you will have to buy a pre-amp in order to hook it up through an auxiliary port. You can buy a pre-amp from Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps.

I connected to a receiver which is run to the TV. Also had to buy a center speaker and woofer to complete the surround sound system.

You need to take off your old receiver and install the 2 wires to either the pushbutton or on the motor where the wall button wires connect .I would hook it to the motor

I think the original question was asking how you connect the receiver to the device you're trying to control...Does it come with connection hardware? Or did you solder it or did you use those wire connector cones?

I don't have a home theater receiver but I suspect it needs a direct connection to the HDMI port on the TV unless there is a pass through function on the receiver. Try asking a question about hooking HDMI to the receiver you have for a better answer. Good luck!

you need the receiver that goes in the normal dining room switch location and then the remote can go where ever
