Can I run my home theater in the family room and the auxiliary speakers in the kitchen separately or together with his item and adjust the volumes?

I forgot to say that you can connect your family room and kitchen speakers through the speaker selector. You can connect up to 4 pairs of speakers. There is one input from a receiver or amp with 4 selectable outputs. The channels are not separate.

You can only turn the speakers on or off. There are 4 separate channels. I bought impedance-matching volume controls for each channel. If you want, you can use impedance-matching volume controls without the speaker selector. I use the speaker selector for additional protection for the receiver.

Yes, you should be able to do it for most part depending on your amp. However there are no separate volume controls for this device. So what ever volume you have on your amp will reflect for all speakers (home theater and auxillary speakers in the kitchen). The device works as advertised and I have my main speakers in my family room and 4 sets of speakers in the master bed, master bath, patio and living room. The main speakers are on "A" and the rest on "B" on my Yamaha amp, so I can listen to all of the speakers or switch on/off A or B. However I cannot adjust the volume for the B speakers since the Monster SS4 doesnt have volume controls. Hope this helps Yes, you should be able to do it for most part depending on your amp.

you can run them independently or separately. This unit does not have volume control for each channel, that is delegated by your receiver.

The response from Patrol Captain was very thorough. Although they are more expensive, you can buy some independent speaker switches like this which have built-in impedance-matching volume controls for each pair of speakers. Generally, if you run the volume controls at about 75% of maximum potential and then attenuate (reduce) them in different "zones" as needed, this will deliver a smooth load to your amplifier.

Yep you can. I did the same for my mom but we had to send it back because something was wrong with the volume.

yes you can use the volume on the tv for yourself and plug the headphones into a home theater for the headphones.

I hook up my soundbar and speakers into amplifier, they work together, but it can't be controlled with one remote control which was my intention.

The tv volume won't flow through to the speakers. However, if you always want your speakers at the same volume, I suppose you wouldn't need the volume remote. I like to adjust volume from tv to movies to music, but that's just me.

The quick and easy answer is 'no'. However you can directly control the volume of the woofer. Past that, all contol of seperate frequencies must be done at the source/input.

Yes you can. I just set mine up this weekend and it works fine. There's a nice setup program that helps you do this where you can specify the number of speakers in your room.

If I understand your question you want to know if you can use the headphones while your wife listens to the TV which separate volume control. If this is what you are asking the answer is yes...you both can control your volume on your separate devices independently.

Yes. We have a sound bar plus sub woofer connected via optical cable and we leave on the internal speakers as well. Downside: we have to use two separate remotes to control the 2 audio sources. I'm sure there's a way to program everything into one remote, but it isn't a huge issue for us.

You can adjust the volume for the speakers/zones you have on, Example, if you have two zones on, you the volume will be the same for both zones, but you can't adjust each zone individually.

Yes you can have both the speakers and the headset on at the same time, and set each to different volume levels. It can come in handy when one person likes to hear the movie loud and the other listener/s don't.

It doesn't matter. Plug your output into either input. It only has two inputs in case of stereo system where the speakers each have their own amp. This wouldn't apply in home-theater set-ups.

yes you can as long as your tv has analog out for audio, you can go into tv menu and turn off tv speakers then use vol control from tv to control sound.

Yes, that is exactly how we use it. The audio will not be perfectly in sync with the audio from the TV, so we find this setup works best when the volume on the TV is low, for someone close to the set (e.g. on a couch), and the speaker is across the room (e.g. in the kitchen).

You can. But there's two possibilities. The receiver could potentially output more energy than the speakers can handle, assuming you ever turned the volume up that loud, and two, the pain in your ears keeps you from turning up the volume loud enough to damage anything.

You have to adjust both separately. I have found if I turn the sound bar all the way up, then try to adjust it with my tv remote there is a hum in the speaker at lower volumes.

On my hookup I control the volume seperatly on the TV and the TV Ears unit. Either one or both can be played at the same time. My hearing is not the best however the T v ears speaker is absolutely a god send for me. I have 2 of these units, one for the living room and one for the bedroom.
