I'm wandering if this wil work for my 5.1 surround receiver ?

It will work perfectly. I have a 7.1 receiver but i only use 5.1 and the bass is smooth and no sign of any distortion even at high volume. It delivers extremely clear sound.

I would guess it depends on the type of receiver. My 5.1, which I recently replaced with a Sony 7.2, has a dedicated subwoofer port.

This is an awesome subwoofer. Had mine for 6 months and very satisfied. Good investment.

You can still use this receiver for 5.2. It will configure to what speakers you hook up. You can also bypass the wifi. In your setup you can do that there.

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

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference

I believe you should be able to since the missing speakers between the 5.1 and the 7.1 are used for mid room surround, however with the whole system in I'm not sure if you'll be able to have just stereo sound coming from the remaining port. Its possible you'll end up with those speakers only playing the sound that would come through the two mid speakers in a 7.1 system.

Unfortunately Bluetooth will not support bandwidth at this time needed to send a 5.1 signal stream, so your surround sound receiver will not have that special format to decode into 5.1 surround sound.I have been using various Bluetooth receivers with a car surround sound signal processor and there is not support yet for that (it can be done with Android media players but not over bluetooth).

It should work. My use is from 3.5 to RCA adapter to Logitech 5.1 PC speaker system. The 3.5 is from my TV. It is not really 5.1, but I had the speakers and it is much cheaper than a new sound bar right now. You may have to experiment with the proper port on either end of the 3.5.

Short answer ... no. It merely strips what you would normally hear on the Left and Right audio channels and passes the signal through analog RCA cables. But to be fair, I'm not sure than anything really can. By definition, 5.1 and 7.1 are delivered over something greater than two channels. So a simple two-channel L/R signal simply isn't capable of carrying the content. There are devices that take two-channel audio as input and simulate 5.1 output, but this isn't one of them. I have such a whizbang gizmo connected to a 47" display in a small room with just two very good speakers. It's not "real" 5.1, and if you're a real audiophile type, you'll likely recognize it right away and turn up your nose. However, it does work well enough to fool you during an exceptionally well mastered Blu-Ray or a high-end video game. Suited my needs because 2 speakers were a better fit for both the room and my budget. But if you're looking to get full performance out of a 5.1 or 7.1 setup that you already own or are considering purchasing, inserting this device in the chain is probably the wrong way to go about things. You'll need to stick with HDMI throughout to create the best experience.

Well I'm not sure if it will work for your system, but it worked great for my sony surround sound system. I was very pleased with the purchase.

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.

i have plasma "optical out" and i have my receiver with 'RCA input only" with 5.1 Speaker out, do this adapter work to have 5.1 surround sound. My receiver is only RCA Input, and i want 5.1 out, NOT Stereo?.

I don't think so, this is a low-end surround setup so probably not.i can check for sure if you want?

Not necessarily. A decent MOBO will have the channels to make it work but I use a Asus Xonar DGX with mine. Unless you are an audiophile any 5.1 sound card will be fine.

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!

We used them as part of a system that we are building on so we do not have the full 5.1 system yet. We just have a Sony receiver so I would say whatever suits your style and needs best.

Don't know I used it for my home surround system I refer you to the manufacture on that one.Good luck on your install though.

Any consumer AV receiver or plain old stereo receiver will work fine. Yamaha works great. Costco (when they have em) and Amazon sell Yamaha AVR and receivers at great prices. If you are using them outside from your main set up, just make sure you get one that has A and B speakers. If using as rear surround for 5.1 it won't have that but, you won't need it. If you do, look for a 7.1 system with AB.
