Hi looking to get a firestick, so would there be any problems plugging it into my avr ?
Thanks

It has HDMI out, literally plug it straight in. It will need power from USB, which I take from the TV's USB port, or the receiver if it has one on the back. Saves using another wall plug.

If it's too tight there is a 3 inch extension cord included.

No plenty of room I changed from a large Yamaha to a new Denon so a lot smaller

Don't forget to add a bag of magic pebbles ontop of the firestick.
