Does it have a/b speaker zones? Can I connect four ordinary speakers, or need to have five with front/center/surround?

I'm.useing existing speakers from.another system that I had, but I.don't think you would have a problem if you use non surround speakers

No speaker b zone. Receiver will detect your speakers automatically, whether 4 or 5. Manual speaker setup is also available. 4 speakers 2 for front and 2 for surround, 5th speaker adds center speaker if desired.

You connect any speaker you want to the system, as for the center channel to me it doesn't matter, later on you can get better speakers for the system.I hope this makes since and helps you out

Yes, you have the option of playing one, two, three, or four sets of speakers (labeled A, B, C, AND D). I wired the speaker selector to toggle sound between the living room and the outside patio. It's nice to be able to do both at the same time if needed. I hope this answers your question

You can connect to seven speakers and one sub woofer. May be a different product with two sub woofer option available but I am not sure, you can search.

Yes. You can use a set of speakers on only "A", only "B", or both A&B at the same time. Works very well.

you can only hook up 4 speakers to this stereo, ch a left and right, and ch b left and right and a sub woofer, make sure the speakers are 8 ohms

You can actually use a speaker selector to do it correctly. That makes all 4 of your speakers a zone in one room without losing power to the speakers. The pig tail method drains power so the volume would suffer probably...depends on the aggregate load of all your speakers.

There are two places for each set (right and left), so it would work fine on the outdoor speakers, but not the 5 speakers inside. Assuming this is a surround sound system like mine, I hooked up the center and two back speakers directly to the surround sound receiver, ran wire from the front two to this thing, and then ran wire from the A side to the surround sound speakers, and the B side to two standing speakers I use for listening to music. The 3 speakers hooked up to the receiver always play, but I can switch between the surround sound speakers for movies and the big speakers for music. I hope this helps!

My husband hooked this up. We have 2 speakers in and 2 outside. He said you just have to decide which ones you want to play together. So if you want the 5 inside to play together hook these up to the screws on either side marked A/B, then the outside ones would get hooked to the screws marked B. Now the 5 inside should play alone when position to A, the ouside ones should play when in B position, and they should all play when in th A/B position. Hope this helps.

I'm no stereo geek but I'll try to answer your question. This systems has two speaker connection points so you could connect 4 speakers but the two speakers on the "right" connection would act in unison as would the two on the "left" connection so I don't know what you'd gain. Hope that's helpful to you.

Depending on the number speakers you may use, most of us have two, left and right for stereo, you should be able to compensate for the issue mentioned from the audigy control panel. I have three speakers with a bass added and it took some playing with the controls to get the sound I wanted. It gives you an option for speaker/headphone configurations from stereo to 5.1 surround sound and one for headphones. Your mileage will vary. Hope this helps.

Yes you can play the A and B speakers at the same time. I play mine that way. You won't get the "surround sound" because it's a two channel stereo system. I have two speakers in the corner and the tv in the middle and two speakers in the other corner with the couch in the middle. Sounds good to me without all those wires needed for the surround system. Plus I'm not a fan of the sub-woofer systems. I have one for my computer but if I really want to hear good sound I will run the computer through the Marantz and ((((((B O O M)))))), music and movies are excellent!!!...

You can switch to an "A" set of speakers or a"B" set. Or run 4 speakers at 1/2 the power.

You have 5 separate channels on the back of the speaker. You could only connect the center channel but it would be a waste of the other speakers enclosed. There are much better choices if you are only looking for a center channel speaker.

I've got it hooked up in a 7.1 configuration using existing rears as back surround. If you use the right terminals on the speaker, it will combine drivers for you to set it up the way you need to- using existing surrounds.

The unit has four zones, if you need more than that you can run your wires from the out to speakers from any one of the 4 zones to the input on the Pyle unit. I have used this unit several times and it is a great one for just music.

I've had this unit for a while now, and it works really well for the room that it covers. regarding your question, I can't recall all the setup options, but keep in mind: It has a woofer, center and two sides. It simply simulates the 5 channel, meaning there is actually no rear sounds of course. In my mind, having it simulate a 7 channel is asking a bit much without the additional speakers. (note: I don recall all the additional speaker outputs offered on the back of the receiver to add speakers, but if you want a true 7 channel, this is not the unit for you)

I am running two rears off of one of these systems and it has worked really well. Looking at wireless receiver for the speaker system it only has hookups for two speakers...I guess you could double up and run four speakers but they would all just be the rears...if you wanted separate zones you would probably have to have more than one system...I don't know if they would interfere with each other of both systems were run from the same receiver. Hope this helps.
