Before you begin, check the connections on your receiver. Your receiver might have an output HDMI connection to the television set and another set of connections to the home theatre system and its components like the subwoofer, woofer, and the speakers.

Also, check if there is one more HDMI port for you to insert your fire stick. If not, check if there are input ports on your receiver, if yes, you can still connect your fire stick differently.

Note: I will not be able to locate the port for you because each receiver's model and design are unique. For example, the HDMI ports are usually on the receiver's backside, whereas some of the receivers have ports on the front side itself.
