re: 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!

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?
