can i hard wire speakers in a different zone or can i only use the S-Air speakers?

Hi Like, You may connect speakers from the back of the Sony Stereo Receiver. S-Air Speakers is basically for having wireless speakers setup on different locations. -Vincent

Thanks for your question. You could run two pair of outdoor speakers off of an external amplifier that would hook up to one of the zone line outputs. If you run the outside off of unused speaker outputs, then I would not play two pair of outdoor speakers very loudly when playing them simultaneously. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Pioneer dealer.

I don't have zone 2 hooked up, but there does not seem to be any restriction on what sources you can play in zone 2. The manual is online at the Denon site, and I just checked my copy and it doesn't provide any caveats about sources you can use in zone 2.

Hi Ivan. Sure you can. The connectors are standard speaker wire. It will work like a speaker, but if you want it as a center speaker, be sure to get a receiver which will send a 3.x, 5.x, or 7.x signal. Also, to maximize this speaker it is a good idea to match power range (and rarely resistance of your wire expressed in Ohms). It's a good speaker. Enjoy.

No, all speakers are wired as a standard. There is the option to buy the wireless receiver module, though. In that way you can drive the rear speakers wirelessly.

I have 6 sets a bit closer...I would use 12AWGIt's better to use the thickest wire so you have no drops over long runs...mine sounds amazing.I would recomend getting the sub and place it between the two speakers...it makes a huge diff but not needed.You actually get a full range outside.

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.

Yes you can, however, I was disappointed to find that you cannot directly output audio from any of the hdmi inputs to zone 2. Only in "party mode" which outputs the same thing on both zones in stereo only.

Sure. It should work fine using the existing speaker locations except for the tweeters, but you can put those just about anywhere that the wires will reach.

Yes, I have 2 wire system too...these speakers sound better than my other more espensive ones...you will love them.

Yes, You can use almost any configuration. Once you run the setup The receiver detects the size and number of speaker.

My husband has connected our external TV speakers to the unit and turned off the TV speakers. He said it was not very user friendly, but with perseverance it can be done. Sorry, I don't know what zone 2 is.

The single important thing is that you wire both speakers identically. If you use the wire with a white stripe on the red terminal of the speaker and receiver on one side, do the exact same thing on the other side so that you don't have your speakers out of phase. That will cause you to have muddied sound because the speakers will be fighting each other.

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

Of course speakers can be switched out. You have to bear in mind that the speakers coming with this have the spring clip type of wire input, common with small systems, as opposed to the bigger binding post type of input for wire used on most separate hifi speakers and units. As for choice of other speaker, most will have impedance matches that make them broadly compatible with a range of systems so it really depends on what you want to do as to whether or not it makes sense. You may want to consider things such as the power output from amplifier, speaker driving requirements etc and then listen to a combination to see if it makes sense.

I simply sat the tweeters on my two front speakers. Ran a wire from each - and + on the tweeters right into the - and + on my front speakers. They have built in crossovers so it seems to work fine this way.

Yes, you'll need speaker wire connected from your audio source to the speakers.
