I have wired speakers in a second room. How do I connect the unit to drive the speakers in a second room? I see no speaker output for 'A' vs 'B' no.

Dear Frank,Thanks for your inquiry. Most surround receivers no longer refer to second zone as "B"--they call it Zone 2. The AVR-S900 can either be configured to play 7.2 in one room, or 5.2 in the main room and use the 2 additional amplifier channels to power the zone 2 speakers. Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I believe you can use the last 2 channels, rear surround, to drive second room speakers.

Frank, there is no "A" or "B" speakers, just "Front". If you need to wire a second zone, you have to connect the speakers to the upper front or surround back input, I don't remember well right now. Regards and good luck.

The receiver uses multi-zones in order to send a stereo signal to other rooms in your house. So, there is are no more A & B speaker inputs to deal with. Everything is controlled through Denon's internal menu. Here's a link to the Owner's Manual that may be beneficial in locating an answer to your question.....http://www.manualslib.com/manual/699042/Denon-Avr-S900w.html

I agree with frank. Open the manual and look for zone 2. This unit requires using the manual because it does sooo much cool stuff. Do yourself a favor and use the manual. You'll enjoy this baby a lot more.

This is correct. The secondary (bottom) pair allow you to either bi-wire which is when you connect two sets of speaker wire to each connector, or bi-amp, which is when you power your speakers with two separate amplified channels. You do not need either to fully exploit the potential of these awesome speakers.

Hi David, Thank you for your interest in Electrohome. The EANOS300 Archer is a stand alone product and does not have an output to connect ddditional speakers to

One has to be plugged into the other. There's no selector switch. They're for computers and I think most computers have only one audio out port. Maybe try regular bookshelf speakers that you can wire into a switch.

There is a sub woofer RCA jack on the back side, if you need two RCA connects buy a splitter from some store like best buy or radio shack. The other way I have connected a sub is to attach in series with the other forward speakers with speaker wire.

Since these are each a stereo speaker (i.e both the left and right channel are included in the single speaker. Your Zone 2 would need to have outputs for four speakers in order for the impedance to match the speakers. If you are interested in a "pair" of speakers one for the left channel and one for the right channel, you may want to consider a different speaker.With that said, I have a single speaker as Zone 2 in my bath, and I love the sound.

The way I connected my rear (surround) speakers were to the surround amplifier that I placed in the rear of my room. The instructions are indicated in the manual. If you have any other questions, give Sony a call!

I hope you still have the operating manual for this thing because that's where it looks like the answer is, on pages 29-32 under "System Setup". Use "AMP" to assign the rear channels to ROOM 2 and SW M to select the subwoofer mode. There's a "gotcha" here too. There are 2 sets of speaker jacks for the rear channels. One for SURROUND and one for ROOM 2. They are not interchangeable. I learned this the hard way through trial and error. Good luck. This is an amazing piece of equipment once it's configured properly

I also need help with this. My new home is wired for speakers but has standard speaker wire. Anyway to get the plugs for this system to add on?

You can "Loop out" of one into the other with an XLR Cable. Speakers input and The output is labeled Link in the rear. That's it.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the info. I didn't connect the wire's directly but I guess it amounts to the same thing. The left and right front speakers are attached to STR-DH800 posts. I connected separate the speaker wires from the left and right front speakers posts to the left and right posts of the subwoofer. The subwoofer is a part of a Paradigm Cinema 70 set. It has its own power plug, an on/off switch and an RCA input The subwoofer hums when the RCA is plugged into it and I touch the unplugged end. Sincerely, John

There is only two outputs for speakers. If you used a sub-woofer, then that would have to be one of the output speakers and would have to be self-powered. You could split the speakers but then you would lose your impedance and sound quality would probably suffer. This is a very basic, portable system that is designed to be totally self-contained. Hope this helps!

There is only one set of speaker outputs. Standard spring lever that you pull down and slide the bare wire in. So the question is, can you substitute your bose speakers with the ones that come with the unit. I would think so but you would need to see if the power of the unit is enough to drive the bose speakers.

I Have 4 sets of speakers and I don't have issues. @ speakers are set for 'A' another set is set more "B" and there is an additional "C" and "D" that can be turned on same time to play all sets at once. As I use them The A and B represent different rooms.

Agreed with all of the previous responses. You want to simply control the input from one channel [A] of your amplifier, and that goes to your four sets of speakers, identified as 1-4 to the right of the input. Frankly, not clear why they are showing "Output" connections below the Input connections. I am sure someone knows, but, for me they are just irrelevant.

How do you bi-amp a speaker from one source? Can you give an example of a receiver with this feature? Does one need to buy an extra amp?

That never seem to present as a problem. The 4 wires represent 2 pair (+,-) for left and right channels, and I just wired it to the same external speakers in parallel I have with my sound system. I have found the same result if I had wired an amplified subwoofer to my outputs either through the dedicated subwoofer channels, or tap into the speakers themselves.
