I purchased the 5 disc but cannot determine how to attach speakers and then turn it on. Is it all controlled by the remote. No directions.

mine didn't come with any directions either, so i went to the Sony site and typed in the model number of the unit and it brought up the information page for this unit, which includes a link for a pdf download of the operators manual ... once you download the manual you should be able to find the answers to your questions

There is a power switch on the left front of the console, none on the remote.

I agree with the rest. You will need some type of amplifier or receiver, (amplifier with AM/FM radio capabilities). Your disc player is equivalent to a turntable for an old fashioned component stereo system, (if you are old enough to remember). The disc player is an input device, but the amplifier is what makes it all happen.

You will need to connect the output of the 5-disc player to a separate amplifier or receiver module input to hear the music. The 5-disc player does not have the ability to attach speakers directly to the unit itself. Amazon has a great selection of receivers in all price ranges that will suit your needs perfectly.

You have to hook up your 5-disc player to a receiver, then from the back of your receiver, you will see how to run wires from the receiver to your left and right speakers. But you have to have a receiver!

I use my speakers from my computer. I bought a set with a sub woofer. Then plug into the front of the movie mate. And then you can turn up the sound on the speakers as well as the moviemate

I'm not sure of this answer. The booklet says that an external speaker can be attached. However it shows a picture of an amplifier with speakers being attached. I have not tried anything like this. My problem with the unit is that on regular DVDs the sound is fine but on DVDs that I have made the sound is so low that you really cannot listen. Hope this helps

You may have to switch to a mode that turns all of the speakers on. I think the "Pro Logic" button on the remote will do this. But I haven't used the system with an MP3 player. That's something I've observed with my home theater system.

You can connect it directly. It may not be the correct signal strength from the DVD and you probably won't be able to change the volume with a remote but it will work.

I was not able to hook it up directly. I plugged the DVD sound to an external speaker and I plugged the video to the projector. Plugging the sound cable directly to the projector did not work for me.

I bought the speakers for my mother-in-law (who's losing her hearing). I believe she uses the remote that comes with soundbar to control the volume. However, this is an analog device that plugs into the audio-output jack on the back of the TV, which you might use to listen with headphones. Therefore, the audio output from the jack should be controllable with the TV remote. How else would you control the headphone volume? Hope this helps.

I've come to notice this pioneer system has different surround sound speaker settings. Not all these settings have all speakers on. Go to setting menu and hit enter for game mode

The speakers have to plug into the DVD box it comes with. If you want to have your PS3 play sound through the speakers, you have 2 options, (unless you have a TV with arc HDMI. I did not have this.) Your first option, use an optical audio cable to direct the sound from te TV to the DVD box. Your second option, use A/V cables to play sound from the PS3 or TV to the DVD box. If you don't have those cables, you can find them for pretty cheap in various places. I used A/v for my Xbox until I bought an optical audio cable. They both work well, but you'll get better results with the optical audio cable. Bare in mind, you'll have to have the DVD box on in order for the sound to come through. Hope this helps!

You need a receiver/home theater to hook speakers to for true surround sound. DVD is optional and would run thru your receiver/home theater system.

Possibly your disc player is outputting stereo. Maybe press "audio" button on remote repeatedly to cycle through output options. Or may have to reconfigure disc player. Maybe is down mixing everything. Have you tried a different disc player to see if you get a different result?

You have to connect this to a receiver or amplifier. The speakers are connected to the receiver. You choose the receiver and speakers.

You can hook up speakers to your source (DVD player, TV, etc). Or, you can use the mini-jack in the back of the projector, but first you have to plug in the audio from the source to the projector! Typically, that is RCA-to-minijack.

yes. but good news is the turn off automatically after 5 mins. of losing an audio signal.Instructions say to turn on the speakers manually. Then you can control volume, bass, tuning and mute with the remote. Other than that, speaker quality, sound and other functions very good.

I hooked it up to the TV. Works OK but no sound in the rear speakers (surround) for regular TV or the online stuff. I wonder if the online stuff would be better (surround, etc.) if plugged into the Blu Ray player. The other annoying thing is I have to use three remotes and have to keep switch the blu Ray to "D in 1" to get any sound from TV/internet.

To do anything, first you have to set it up right, program the rf-20 to take the place of all your remotes. My setup uses the audio receiver as the "heart" of the system. The DVD and cable box feed the receiver with audio and video, then the receiver feeds the projector and speakers. I hit "audio" from the main menu, then that switches the rf-20 into a control mode for the receiver. One of the menu options is "input", by pushing that button, the receiver toggles through all possible hdmi input options. You can also program one of the buttons as a "macro" which will automatically turn the components into the right operating position. It takes pre-programming about 10 steps for my system to do it right, but is very possible. To do anything, first you have to set it up right, program the rf-20 to take the place of all your remotes.

Does this mean that the speakers on teh TV will still be able to play audio?And that the audio from the DVD needs to get to the Onkyo via optical?So you can use the TV for center speaker, and the rest of the speakers for the soundstage? Sounds good! And also allows the system to remain simple to use (for the wife) without the Onkyo, but can easily become a ciname system at the press of a power button? Wow!
