Installing an A/V Receiver

Tech wizards...
I am thinking of purchasing an A/V receiver to use with existing speakers in my house. We have two inside and two outside that I would like to hook up be able to play sound through a TV, the radio, bluetooth streaming, etc.
Additionally, I would like to tie in my Samsung soundbar into this receiver. Unfortunately, it does not have any HDMI inputs or outputs. It's the only thing currently hooked up to my TV and only has a fiber optic cable running into the television (which is how we have it hooked up now) and a auxiliary input.
Any ideas as to if I can tie all of these together through the same A/V receiver?
Thanks in advance!

Absolutely. You will most likely need a 7.1 channel receiver with the extra 2 channels assignable to a 2nd zone. I like yamaha and Denon. There are other good brands though.
Denon avr-x2100 looks like it would fit you needs. It's $399. Has Bluetooth, wifi, 7.2, etc.

There are different ways you could do this.
Are the 2 inside speakers in the same room as your tv/ soundbar?
ie- are you trying to use the soundbar like a center channel and the other 2 as surrounds?
OR are they are in a different room and you just want stereo sound coming out of them?

Talked to a guy over at Crutchfield and he doesn't seem to think I will be able to tie in the Soundbar to the A/V receiver.
However, as we got on the subject of A/V receivers, he recommended the same Denon X series that was already recommended ($399) in this thread as well as a few more...
Denon AVR-S710W
Onkyo TX-NR737
Both of the linked ones are 4K ready and the Denon X series is not.
So, my original question still stands, but any advice as to which one I should go with?

LMK if you find one that is actually intuitive and not preposterously complicated. I have a Denon and it's the opposite of that.

Go pick one up on Craigslist... I just got an older Harman Kardon AVR 635 off a guy for $50. A little beat up, but works just fine and saved a few hundred bucks.
