Yes and no. Most receivers can be connected to any video source via a standard HDMI cable. However, some devices like the Google Chromecast are bulky and wide near their HDMI output, which on a receiver can make it difficult to access neighboring HDMI ports. If you plan on using any type of streaming stick with your receiver, make sure you’ll still be able to connect all of your other devices, or find a receiver that has an open HDMI port on the front side.
