Will this 7.1 machine work with my 6.1 speaker set-up? Does anyone know how the STR-DN1010 will work with my set-up?

If you wire it into 'rear right +&-' you'll only get the signals/sound effects from that channel right behind you so it might sound odd depending on the movie, like some effects might sound like they are dropping out due to the missing channel. I was actually thinking you could wire both +&- of the rear outputs together and then connect that to your wires running back to the center speaker, but that will change the impedance (ohms) of the speaker and I'm not sure what effect that will have on the sound or your system, so don't try that until you get an expert opinion on that. I'll have to either Google it or dig my old electronics manuals out of the basement. I also have a 6.1 speaker set-up and am getting this receiver but fortunately have a dropped ceiling and can run more wires, just need to get a matched-pair of speakers for the rear. *EDIT* After a little research you're idea of the 'rear left +' and 'right rear-' might work. Do NOT wire one speaker into both outputs. It might damage the receiver.

Yes . of course . i run mine in a 2.1 set-up . Pro 6's are main speakers with my SVS Sub-woofer handling the low end . All working nicely though my Oppo HA-1 as pre-amp . WWW.Emotiva.com more infro . No bull on these speakers .210 clean watts per speaker . These are top line monitors so if your feed is bad mp 3 it will play them as poor signals . If your vinyl , CD's , Flac etc = Wow just beautiful music with a 2.1 . Hope this helps ya . i could type more cause i truly enjoy these speakers

I actually contacted Onkyo about a similar thing. I want to run a 7.1.2 and use an amp with the RCA line out jacks. All I need to do is get an amp to power from the RCA jacks and I'm good to go. You should be able to run it with a rear pair and 4 atmos speakers, but something would have to be doubled up on the actually timing with the Dolby computing. It won't be a true 7.1.4...but you can run a true 7.1.2 with this system and an amp to power the additional speakers.

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

Hi Derran, use the Speaker Calibration settings of the Sony STRDH750 Stereo Receiver. This will let you check if the speakers are working and to change the db settings. -Vincent

I have not tried it with that system. I have got it to work with just about anything. It's a VERY simplistic setup. Just need access to sound outputs.

Simply adding two more speakers to your system does not make it a 7.1. You risk burning up the amplifier by having speakers with mismatched impendences. Upgrading your speakers is great but speaker impedances have to match and your amp has to say it can handle that load. Far more bad scenarios then good for what you are looking to do.

I use a 7.1 system. Center speaker is an old sony that was leftover from one of those DVD/7.1 combo jobs.

Hello, the truth in the specifications of the card only refers to 5.1 is silent in relation to speakers 7.1, I use it with Ligitech 5.1 speakers, I think you should find another model that is more specific, I put a link here; you can check this model that is compatible with 7.1 speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-Audigy-SB1550/dp/B00EO6X7PG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405118509&sr=1-1&keywords=sound+card+7.1

Yes. I currently use it as a 5.1 receiver. The other two speaker outputs can be toggled for 7.1 or as a separate powered 2.0 zone.

I have a 6.1 system and use them for the 5.1 portion with my previous JBL surround for the center rear (6). Your 6-7 are the same as my 4-5 so you should be fine. I'm assuming that your 4-5 are the side surround and not the rear? I would use them in rear since the side surrounds aren't really critical for the overall surround effect. (IMHO)

i think if the 5.1 speaker is work good, the sound card work good with your speaker 5.1i think it is not important that is 10 years old

My system is 7.1. I use the NS-IW960 as the center channel, then two NS-IW470 as the left & right, and then I use four NS-1W560C as the rear speakers.

To safely hook up a 6.1 speaker system you need to do this. Wire your single surround back speaker to the L + and - terminals. Next go to the menu and select "Speaker". Then select "SP pattern" and scroll up or down until you find the correct speaker setup, i.e. 6.1, 7.1, 5.1 with 2 front highs, etc. Hope this helps!

Yes I believe allows 7.1 and I have the same headphones and it works really well. I hope this helps

Yes. I did myself to get 7.1. You can test it out with the movie "War Horse"' since it has 7.1. I can guarantee you will love these speakers.
