Dude have you read through any of the comments? With so many people still commenting that they missed the deal, it's obvious how many people don't take a little time browse through the comments to track the progress of the deal.

Anyone can get this deal whether your location has it in stock or not. Ask a Best Buy rep to order it for you and they will charge you the sale price. Simple as that. I know it's hard to comprehend Best Buy doing something right after the iPad price match fiasco from a couple of weeks ago but people really need to check the thread comments and stop asking the same questions over and over again

$220 for a Name brand 5.1 4k receiver? And speakers? And a sub? Maybe 10 years ago.

I just paid 250 for this receiver 2 months ago refurbished.

It's a solid device BTW. Paired it with a JAMO set.

Well hundreds of others figured out the very simple process, so I guess you just miss out then.

So you think the deal is dead? Best Buy pulled the plug?
I'm not sure. I've seen folks posting in this thread that they were successful after I posted. It might be my BB store having the issue.

What exactly did you do at the store? The price will not show up until they actually get to the order placing process. If they just look up the price, it will show them the $650. Once they select in store pickup, it drops to $220.

Similarly if they scan the item in store with the handheld, it shows full price, but rings up at $220.

Guys z, picked mine up. Still haven't opened it. Never had anything other than the tv speakers. Do you need to place the speakers behind you, and is any of the items wireless. I'd not, what do you do to cover the wires. It will be in a large room with tile flooring. Any help would be appreciated

None of the speakers are wireless. Two go behind you, left and right, 3 go in front (which are easy to wire since they'll be close to the receiver. They make flat speaker wire in different colors which makes it easier to conceal, or you can get a wireless adapter for the rear speakers (they still have to be wired to that adapter, but you don't have to run it all around the room). Most people put the wire along baseboard and over doors etc, some will put it under a rug. Or some go all out and run it through walls via the attic or basement but not possible in all cases. Amazon is a good source for speaker wire, RCA and Monoprice make good stuff, depending how big the room is, 100 foot spool is probably enough. For this speaker size, I'd go with 16 gauge at least, though in reality 18 would probably be fine, but always better to play it safe especially at longer distances. Actually amazon basics has a 100 foot spool of 16 gauge for like $15, will work fine (but it is standard wire, not flat or different colors, that stuff will run more). You don't need anything fancy.

Then, if it doesn't come with one, you'll need a subwoofer cable. It is the same as any video cable, so if you have an old component video cable around (the ones that had red, green, blue RCA plugs) just pull one of those off and use it for the sub. Even the old yellow RCA cables would work but they generally are thin with less shielding so not ideal. No need for fancy gold plated etc. If you don't have any, again, amazon basics, monoprice, mediabridge, bluerigger, all on amazon should have reasonably priced ones. Subwoofer, video, or Coaxial digital audio are all the exact same cable with different name, so whatever is cheapest (many will even say all 3). If going with monoprice, check their site as sometimes buying direct even with shipping is cheaper.

Since these aren't audiophile grade speakers and the rear speakers aren't as critical as the fronts, the wireless adapters work quite well for them. I've used a couple for people.

I'm sure bestbuy will sell you a wireless adapter for a lot of money but there's probably better deals on amazon etc. I've used this one but it is discontinued https://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-vi...peaker-kit, there are others out there.

Ordered one at the registers at the Fullerton, California store. It will be here a week from today. The cashier looked shocked when it rang up for this amount.

I see "wireless subwoofer included: No" in the specs…so the speaker wire has to run from the sub (and all other speakers) to the receiver? I'm looking for a sub and two surround speakers that connect to each other but can be "wireless" to the receiver so I don't have to hide wires from the back of my room to the TV in the front.

It comes with good enough lengthy wire for the speakers and also the cable for subwoofer

Everything is wired and for sub there is a different cable to connect to the receiver which is included in the kit

He checked the price with the sku no price matching was needed. Just have them look it up on the register not online.

Can anyone recommend any wireless adapters for the rear speakers? Not a fan of running wire all across the room for rear speakers

I think somebody mentioned reading a review on Best Buy where they said they had an issue playing it on their PS5. Someone else on SD replied that it was possible to just output video to the TV and instead use the receiver for just sound, so hopefully that'll solve the issue.

Home theater setups take up more space, but offer better sound quality and immersion compared to a wireless soundbar. Might just be a case of people thinking that a soundbar is good enough or they don't have the resources (money, space, and/or time) to bother with setting up a 5.1.0.
Shouldn't have any issues if you just go to the tv and use arc otherwise you will lose vrr and anything over 60hz
