Can this be wired directly to our stereo without the RCA (ZISL) kit? It works hard wired but not sure if it should be wired to front or back speakers.

I wired other speakers to it but then split off and ran to a four channel I had laying around and works great

yes it can be wired to your stereo without RCA kit. You can tap the signal from your front or rear speakers.

My speakers hook to an amp, that has the same connects as the speakers, so I used regular speaker wire. If yours has jacks, I have used cables that had the proper jack, and cut of the jacks on the opposite end, to hook the speaker.

You can connect the wires to the left and right front speakers or maybe to one speaker if you only have posts for one wire. I am not expert but when my RCA connector did not work I hooked up to the two front speakers. Apparently the woofer picks up only the low frequency sound going to the other speakers.

I had the same problem. Sony STRDE985 home theater receiver. Wanted to hook up my wireless speakers to use as the rear surrounds, but I only have speaker terminals, not direct outputs. So, I found an adapter at www.connectworld.net that you use with the RCA adapter that came with the speakers. The adapter from connectworld has a female RCA plug on one end, and two speaker wires on the other end. You will need two of these units. They cost 4 bucks a piece, plus shipping. I just ordered them, so I haven't received them yet to know if that is the solution to my problem. Hard to imagine that it WOULDN'T be, though. I had the same problem.

Yes, it has RCA inputs (the red and white ones) and also direct inputs. I don't know what to call them. The speaker wire that's used to push your speakers?

You will need speaker wire to go to all the speakers. I would suggest that you extend the wire antenna for better reception of radio signals. If you are in a remote area you will need an external antenna system, and finally, you will need the peripheral input devices such as record player, cassette player, CD player and perhaps TV audio inputs...all of these will need cables / wires to be connected to the Receiver amplifier. Good luck. I do not recall what provisions there are for external antennae.

Forgot to mention...of course you'll need to have speakers to plug into the receiver as well...but that goes without saying. RCA cables work fine from the speakers to the receiver, but I like to make my own. :)

I didn't get one with the unit. It is pretty straight forward where speaker wires FROM the stereo get attached to one of the two inputs and speaker wires TO the various speakers get attached to one of the four outputs.

well i believe that is exactly what it is supposed to do; mine is connected directly to the wires that drive my front speakers and it works exactly as expected. Speaker signals can be viewed as a high-level signal, this just lowers that signal's amplification down to what is considered low-level signal so that it can amplified separately from your stereo's amplifier. Otherwise the signal would be amplified twice causing signal clipping/distortion which not only sounds horrible but could overload the amp.

Yes. You won't be using the RCA's. It comes with the wiring harness to for the individual wires. So run new speaker from the radio to the speaker input harness, then run new wire to the speakers.

No subwoofer and speakers are wired.But a separate wireless system and use it with for the rear speakers

A set of wires go from the box into your stereo speaker input. All your speakers then plug into the box. That's it.

Nope, this is just the speakers. You'll need speaker wire to attach it to anything, and you will probably need a receiver to plug the individual speaker wires into. I use a Yamaha, works great.

We used 14 gauge speaker wire. On back of speakers used positive wires (could be red, white or striped) into red clip slot, and negative into black clip slot. On our receiver there are wire nuts that the wire (as above positive on red and negative color on black wire nuts) There should be an area indicating surround sound, rear speakers) We had a diagram that came with receiver that showed which speakers went to each jack and wire nuts) Hope this helps. Hope you have a diagram in your receiver book, that helped us or we would have been lost.

Thanks for your question. You will require speaker wires to be run from your equipment rack to the rooms that you would like speakers in. If you hook up a 7 channel surround system, the remaining zones can be driven using separate amplifiers to run the additional zones. If you hook up a 5 channel surround system, the remaining speaker outputs may be reassigned for one of the other zones. Best thing might be to go to the manufacturer's site and download the full users manual to determine if this unit's features will work for you individual application. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Pioneer dealer.

I love this thing and want another one, yes it comes ready to go, I used speaker level inputs, it was way easy to hookup, hook this to stereo and your speakers to this, and that's it, it comes with speaker wire, but I just used my own, you can hook it up with an rca cable, but you would have to get one, but why would you, when they make it this simple, hope this helps

Should it goes to the wiring harness not the stereo unit it's self. Should work for you.. You can make one yourself without buying this. Just need to be able to understand the wiring of it.
