Is this easy to hook up with my 7yr old Vizio TV and brand new Yamaha receiver?

I would think so. I have one hooked up to my Vizio 3D TV that I purchased in 2010 and another Vizio 3D TV that I purchased a few months ago and they work perfect on both. All you have to hook up is, 1 Electric cord and 1 Hdmi Cord and you should be good to go.

I don't know. The controls are fairly simple when connecting speakers to a media source. If the Vizio soundbar will "act" like a source, it's possible the Sykik system could pair up that way.

I have a Vizio and no problem hooking it up. I would thing you should be able to hook it to your Panasonic. I love this unit!

Reasonably easy, depending on your TV. I find it (the HDMI control TV-to-Receiver) to be a bit clunky, but it CAN work.

Late response, I checked Yamaha web site they said no not thru the receiver but they suggested you could connect tv directly to your dish/cable/direct etc & by pass the Yamaha.New late response 6/19/14: Yes you can Yamaha Cust service called me to advise if you change the audio source in TV mode to your music source, the TV picture is visible & music plays. Music control is lost so you have to play an album or playlist without skipping, works fine.

This unit ( Yamaha receiver) will control the TV, Blu-ray and satellite or cable box. All you need is a HDMI cable ( cable # 1)from this unit to the TV, another HDMI cable ( cable # 2) from this unit to the blu-ray, another HDMI cable( cable # 3) from this unit to the satellite or cable box ( if you paying HD = high definition channel). The unit come with the speakers wires included to connect it from the speaker bar to back of the receiver, every port is label. It's very simple. I hope this help you.

I have not used it with Yamaha. I am using this with Bose sound bar. Have not had any issues yet.

Yes, I used my speakers, DVD, BluRay player, Direct TV box from my old 5.1 system and everything works well with this new receiver. Just make sure that you download the pdf manual and either print it or have it nearby on your computer, laptop or Kindle and go through the setup. If you are going to use your WiFi home connection disconnect the cableTV box, install the WIFI USB dongle and hook the tuner directly to the TV. After you have connected your home WIFI internet connection then disconnect the Onkyo Receiver from the TV and reconnect to your cable or satelite TV box.

Yes, my Vizio is from at least 2007, possibly prior to that, and the remote works with it.

Not hard at all - just bought HD cables for my tv, the receiver I have is a 7.1 se round , bought 611 for my front speakers ,, sounds great with those added .... Hope that helps!!

IMHO the cable box and blu ray are providing the signal into the receiver. The TV is usually connected with an HDMI cable from the receiver output to a TV input and the TV receives the signal thru/from the receiver. I do not believe that is going to solve your problem. I would suggest going thru the set-up menu and option menu double checking the HDMI options etc... Contact Yamaha also via their website... Please let us know what you find...

I connected my Yamaha speaker to an Onkyo receiver (surround sound amplifier), via speaker wires with no "connections", i.e., wires to screw receptacles on both the speaker and receiver. As to directly to a TV, you will need a receiver to amplify the sound from the TV to the speaker. At least as far as I know.

No you also need a receiver. Nothing fancy just a 5.1 system. Everything is powered and managed through the sub, but a receiver is still needed to connect it to a TV.

Probably not. Just replaced 3 year old Pioneer with faulty HMDI connection with Pioneer VSX-523-K....pissed that it required a different model Bluetooth adapter. Should have purchased Yamaha.

I have a Yamaha receiver (its about 7 years old) and it works find. I'm sure any newer model would work fine.. I have 4 different versions of the Harmony and they all work very well. I HIGHLY recommend these devices for people that have to deal with multiple home auto systems.. I will never go back to a regular remotes especially now that I gave 2 kids that lose everything!!

Yes, easy out of the box, hook to your cable. Just be prepared that the sound -- as all flat screens -- will be tinny. I want to buy an added speaker for it, but not sure how to hook that up.
