can this receiver be used as 5.1 ? Will 2 channel sound would be lost if use as 5.1?

Yes. It can be used as a 5.1 and NO 2 channel stereo will not be lost because you can manually select what sound format you want from the menu of the receiver. The receiver also detects using AFD or Auto Format Detection modethe number of channels of audio coming from your source equipment.

I just looked at the audio specs for your Samsung and didn't see any mention of 5.1 you don't want this plug, it is mono, your Samsung uses a stereo jack. You can buy a stereo cord with RCA outputs then let your receiver simulate 5.1.

Yes. I have mine hooked up using Monster XP (16 gauge?) speaker wire to my 5.1 surround system. No problems.

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

They can be used as standalone. Any receiver should work. 5.1 ones have modes for 2 speaker setup.

Yes it will help you hook up to your receiver, but I am doubtful that the 5.1 will come through as true 5.1. Is worth a try without upgrading your receiver.

No. This unit only has two output channels, left and right (stereo). '5.1' requires six channels, front: left & right, center, rear: left & right and subwoofer channel.

if you connect your TV(the optical Output) to "Digital to Analog Audio Decoder"in the optical input and then connect your speakers to "Digital to Analog Audio Decoder" to the analog outputs work in 5.1,if you want to connect the TV directly to the speakers, your speakers should have optical input and yes works in 5.1

Surround Back (Left and Right) can be assigned to a separate zone. So if you want a 5.1 and a 2.0 system, the answer is "Yes". If you want a 5.1 and a 2.1 playing different things, I'm not so sure.

I haven't really used 5.1 surround, but I think for the jacks that supply sub, left surround right s, center, right and left front spekers you need to put a stereo splitter on the three jacks on the card. I'm not for sure but I know each of the three jacks supply two of the audio, that's all I know about surround. U might want to read the manual about which jack does what

Much will depend upon the sound system / speakers / etc. your using. We use it through our 5.1 system at home and it sounds fine.

My set up is currently only running 5.1 and has no problems. The layout of my living room makes it difficult to use all 7 speakers. If you choose this system and hook in the Audessy michrophone, it will realize only 5.1 are connected.

Yes. it's a 7.1 system with the capability to still function as a 5.1 main system with two channels diverted to another room. Check out the manual, it's all in there.

Yes, I used my speakers, DVD, BluRay player, Direct TV box from my old 5.1 system and everything works well with this new receiver. Just make sure that you download the pdf manual and either print it or have it nearby on your computer, laptop or Kindle and go through the setup. If you are going to use your WiFi home connection disconnect the cableTV box, install the WIFI USB dongle and hook the tuner directly to the TV. After you have connected your home WIFI internet connection then disconnect the Onkyo Receiver from the TV and reconnect to your cable or satelite TV box.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

Yes. As long as you have a receiver that does at least 5.1. Plus you need to make sure the inputs for the sub match the inputs for the receiver. Otherwise you may need some adapters to get it to work.I use 4 of these with one center channel being a different Yamaha and it sounds great. My family just visited this weekend and commented about how awesome it was.

No. I am using a 5.1 setup with this receiver and it combines the 2 back channels of the 7.1 with the rear channels to create a 5.1 setup with no lose of audio other than the spatial dynamics of a 7.1 setup.
