HereI go again. Receiver hook up issue

Equipment
TV 55" Sony
2x T15 Speakers
1 PSW10 Woofer
Sony STR DH550

Receiver is about 10 and probably borderline obsolete but these things never die. Speakers are awesome bookshelf and woofer. I dont neen bigger. Well each and every time I move my TV I have trouble hooking up correct ports. Just when I have speakers working on TV, Smart APP AM/FM my woofers are not working. I even back checked myself by a trip to Best Buy. It should not be this hard. OK I am ready to upgrade the receiver. Even called Polk for a receiver recommendation and had to go to Tech Support for that answer. Is there a better receiver non bluetooth that will perform and is easier to set up?

    The speaker and subwoofer connections are clearly marked on the rear panel of every AVR made. Maybe it's time for glasses?

    Once it's set up and working the way you want it to take a photo of the rear of the receiver with all the cables connected for future reference. A ten year old receiver isn't obsolete for basic functions.

    But, you're unlikely to find a receiver more basic to set up than the DH550.

    As long as there are RCA jacks and five-way binding posts... nothing will be obsolete ..
