Is it possible to run this soundbar through my A/V receiver?

Yes, but one quick note that might help you: I switched from and older receiver that had many inputs and outputs but no HDMI to a newer one with HDMI support. At first when setting up the sound bar I freaked out when I realized the newer receiver didn't have optical out but it didn't stop me; I ended up running the optical out from the TV to the sound bar. If you have to do this you might need to go into your receiver's settings and enable sound through the TV HDMI signal (it was disabled in mine).

Yes, if you use the optical cable to your AV receiver and HDMI from your receiver to your T.V. it should work.

Good question. I haven't done that. It does airplay. So I'm not sure. I will try to see you are able to turn on and off the receiver

It just outputs signals. There is no power amplification for speakers, so yes, you need an AV receiver or some amplifier of some sort.

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

No, u need an optical out from the TV to connect to the Sonos Sound Bar. Do not need a receiver .

This particular sound bar does not have a HDMI port. You can use the optical input or the A/V cables if your TV has them.

Yes. I can hook up a sound bar and sub woofer via optical, but when I tried to hook up via HDMI it gave me one or the other - not both. I agree the inability to control both the sound bar (mine is a Sony) and TV with one remote is a detractor.

No, soundbars are made to be plugged into the TV and do not use a receiver. The surround receiver outputs to speaker wire. The opticals are inputs

Yes you can, such as hooking it up to a receiver or a stereo unit, just run a + and a - from your reciever and to the speakers.

I'm not sure you can use internal speakers along with an A/V system. I've been using the built in speakers for watching regular TV shows and they work very well compared to many I've heard. I'd think if you could do this you may get some cross talk due to the circuitry. But I'm no technician.

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

The soundbar accepts HDMI and digital (optical or coax). To use your receiver, you would have to connect the HDMI out or some other digital pre-out. Another option is to buy an un-powered unit and the speaker terminals from the receiver would power it.

Yes. You have to enable HDMI digital audio in NVIDIA Control Panel and change your target output device. I run music from my computer directly to my A/V Receiver this way.

This device doesn't do any transcoding/conversion of audio. It only pulls the audio from the source HDMI feed and sends it the digital optical/coax ports. If the source sends audio in a format that your soundbar/AV receiver doesn't support, this device won't help. It's mainly of use for people with HDMI source devices and soundbars/amplifiers that don't have HDMI inputs.

Can you be more specific on how to hook up a subwoofer{with "speaker level outputs"} to the Onkyo?

If you TV has a HDMI connection it should work or use the audio out from the TV to the line 1 or 2 connections on the sound bar.
