Sounds OK, but can it be connected (hard wired) to a av/receiver or only to powered speakers?

I would not buy this now as much of the internet radio service went away (such as the BBC) when they discontinued it. I would suggest you look at the Grace unit - it has mono out. That is the unit I bought to replace the VTech.

In theory yes but fyi, I switched to windows 7 from vista right after I bought this and then it would no longer worked properly. The company was of no help and I eventually literally threw it out. Unfortunate waste of money. Great idea but zero support. Don't think the company even makes this anymore based on their replies to me two years ago.

I have mine hooked to a surround sound system through both a cable box & my receiver. It's fine.

No one? I am specifically looking for a UBS output to speaker system. The reason is fidelity & elimination of latency. Take up a port? Don't you have a powered hub with a jillion outputs?

No. It has a port for subwoofer cable, and jacks for regular speaker wire, either way you'll need to hardwire it to your receiver.

I connected to a receiver which is run to the TV. Also had to buy a center speaker and woofer to complete the surround sound system.

Powered or non powered doesn't matter. The wire is only carrying a communication pulse to your speakers

It depends on what environment you are using the speakers in. AV receiver? Man cave? Bar? I can be more specific with more information.

Interesting scenario. The only I can think of is to split the connection since you probably only have one center channel speaker output on your receiver. The other thing you can do is use your rear center channel connection if your receiver has it.

Absolutely, that should work no problem. I typically connect it to a windows 7 pc and headphones, but there's a line out jack that would work for connecting to a powered speaker setup.

I don't really understand what you mean. It could hook up to a TV or a CD player,then it works just a normal speaker.

The speakers are not self powered. I am playing though my receiver and with a separate sub-woofer.

The unit is designed primarily as wireless rear surround speakers. They are somewhat a compromise as one is trading the more ambient sound of fixed wired speakers for the convenience of one wireless unit you can hide away till you need it. I imagine you could connect this to any output you could connect speakers to but what are you trying to accomplish?

All the speakers in my system are hard wired. I have not had good luck with my system and would not buy it again nor recommend it.

standard speaker inputs either just wire or banana plug, if you mean power/sound that is from the receiver. Speakers sounds very nice for the price.

It is just a speaker not a receicer. You still need a receiver that can do dolby and DTS as this requires a receiver for sound.

You will be able to connect to this receiver but it seems like a lot of money to spend and not be able to use the video options of this receiver. This is a LOT of receiver for a single input for output to speakers. You would essentially be connecting to this receiver to add up to 7.1 surround sound. Your option... When this receiver worked it was great (it died after about a year). It's currently in Michigan for "hopefully" repair.

The sub is powered. I have it connected with a single 3.5mm jack but as others have said, RCA is also possible.
