Since this is the 9.2, can I use just 5 speakers and a subwoofer just like the 5.1 set up (just because the speakers had already been installed in the ceiling)

yes, you can do 5.1, 5.2 7.1 bi-amp, 7.2 bi-amp, 9.1.any speakers configuration you like.this receiver can do it all.
189119
Yes, You can use almost any configuration. Once you run the setup The receiver detects the size and number of speaker.
189120
Yes. All modern receivers I know of can be used with just two front speakers or additional speakers in any sensible combination, up to their maximums.

5.2.2 ( Front Speakers, Center speaker, Surround speaker, In Ceiling or Up Firing Speakers ) Plus Outputs for 2 sub woofers. In Dolby Atmos Mode7.2 ( Front, Center, Back Speakers, Surround Speakers ) Plus Outputs for 2 sub woofers Without Atmos enabled.Or you can set up a straight 5.2 setup I hope This Clears things up. If you had 7.2.2 you would need a receiver with a 9 channel amp The TX NR-636 only has a 7 channel ampCheers :-)

Yes although you will only get 5.1 instead of the possible 7.1 on ur receiver (2 ports would be unused unless u buy 2 extra speakers)

this actually has 5 sets of speaker ins so you would just connect all 5 to a 5.1 receiver.

Absolutely it can play anything like 2.0, 2.1 ....6.1.. upto 7.2. In the manual you will see a table of what to select for your setup. I have even tried playing various configurations with my 5.1 setup such as left only, right only, front only, rear only etc.I have not tried this particular model but have used 606 and several more from other brands.7.2 means it can provide amplified input for 7 speakers AT THE MOST and 2 non-amplified inputs for subwoofers. if you have fewer speakers just let it know and it takes care of that.Hope this helps.

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

You can run 5.1 on it and either upgrade to 7.1 later or hook speakers up to Zone 2 and use them elsewhere.

Absolutely! This receiver lets you use a setup "up to" 7.2 channels. The speaker inputs are labeled for 5.1 as well. That's what I'm doing right now, secure in the knowledge that I can always add another two satellites and a second subwoofer later. Take a look at a picture showing the back of the receiver, the input panel, and you'll see it's labeled for 5.1 as well. Hope this helps!

Make sure you've plugged them into the subwoofer correctly. If you think you have, make sure you have a proper working sound card that supports 5.1 audio. If you have windows, also make sure you've gone into the system and configure them to be 5.1 with 5 speakers. Also go to properties and make sure "Speaker Fill" is checked. Hope this helps.

Sure you could adapt and run (2) of these Promedia 2.1 systems at once or if you had a sound card/USB you could possibly run (2) of these systems as a 4.2 surround system. Either way, you will have (2) 6.5" subs providing the lows and if not surround sound configured then two lefts and two rights for stereo output.

I'm wondering the same. In your case though, since you've already got 6 Sonos devices, wouldn't it be best to get a playbar/woofer setup instead so that you can fwd it to all of your speakers?

If you are installing only two front and two rear speakers they should work fine. If you are planning a 5:1 surround system they do not perform well as center channel speakers.

Yes, you can run up to 9 speakers plus 2 subwoofers. This receiver will do what you want it to without a problem.

Yes it can be setup as a 5.1, in fact when using the powered zone 2 feature the unit will not allow use on 2 of the "7.1" speakers thus making it run like a 5.1 system on the main speakers. That is how I have my current setup. I use the 5.1 speaker outputs in my living room for the home theater and use powered zone 2 to stream music to my 2 outdoor speakers on my patio. For more info see the manual on Onkyo's website us.onkyo.com.

Rest assured there is no problem with the installation or the speakers. What you need is called a subwoofer.

Seth Lyon said it best. Yes u can run 6 speakers. I installed unit myself. And had to crack the dash open again. Cause I set all of em to high pass. So make sure u dial it in first before u slap everything back together. Lol. Just instal a couple filters. When u splice into the front speaker channels and u should be golden pony boy

I think you will find you can connect up more than one set of speakers anyway on the same amp ie speakers 1 and 2 you can lay speakers in another room to play from that amplifier just switch over on the remote control
