I wanted to buy this receiver as a replacement of my 10 yr old Pioneer5.1 channel. Can I just use 5 speakers &amp; the sub woofer that I already have ?

Yes. I currently use it as a 5.1 receiver. The other two speaker outputs can be toggled for 7.1 or as a separate powered 2.0 zone.

It does not have an A channel and B channel, which is what my old receiver had to separate set of speakers. Also, the back only has connections for 1 set of speakers. I don't know what kind of speakers you have. You'll have to look at the specs. I use bookshelf, Polk speakers

I bought my receiver/speakers/sub in a set, that is, everything in one box. I don't know, but try Pioneer's website and maybe that will help you. HH

I don't think you can. I did hook up a non-powered subwoofer with an old amp but was never really happy with the sound. This Onkyo receiver has very poor bass response in my opinion. Sorry I am no help.

Actually, I bought an old Sony home theater receiver from Craigslist for $20. These older receivers (the ones with Dolby Prologic but not Dolby Digital and/or DTS) have A and B speaker outputs, which can both be run at the same time for a total of four speakers in stereo. If you're not put off by the idea of buying things from Craigslist, this might be the best and most affordable option (affordability being, I assume, the biggest criterion if you're buying these speakers, as was the case for me). I hope this helps. :)

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.

I will be able to provide a definitive answer if you can provide me the model of the receiver. To get this sub working, you either need a LFE out ( a co-axial port usually available on most of the basic receivers) or a sub-woofer speaker screw-in ports. To get the most out of this sub, i would prefer LFE out to connect to the sub.

I do not have this specific receiver, but based on the specs and experience with similar receivers this unit has one additional powered zone supporting 2 (stereo) speakers and one non-powered zone. So I believe you could hook up 2 outdoor speakers directly to this receiver but would need an additional amplifier for 2 more speakers. Also, all the receivers I've used will not output a different digital source on the additional zones than the one being used in the main zone -- just analog sources. In other words, only one digital source at a time so if you to watch a Blu-ray inside while playing music outside, you'll need an analog input for the music. This can be a serious limitation depending on what you want to do, so you may want to find a manual online and check into that before buying.

The receiver has 2 subwoofer outputs. You can use either of them with an RCA cable to plug your subwoofer. I did exactly that with my own. If one day in the future you think you need a second subwoofer, you can use the other Onkyo output to plug it.

No. This unit only has two output channels, left and right (stereo). '5.1' requires six channels, front: left & right, center, rear: left & right and subwoofer channel.

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

I used to connect these speakers to my 5 year old Onkyo receiver TX-SR606 (90W per channel). It's more than adequate and loud enough. Last year, I upgraded my receiver to Onkyo 818 last that have pre out capability (you need Onkyo 7 series or above to connect your receiver to external amplifier) and use Emotiva XPA-5 amplifier. It's worth the upgrade. Sounds great especially with 24-bit uncompressed recording. It really makes you listen to your old collection once again.

I am not familiar with what you are currently using but I would think so. You can use two separate systems (amplifiers supporting two separate and distinctly different set ups) and go to the same speakers to listen to each sound system.......or into six other zones or speaker setups. The box is very high quality and performs perfectly for my application. Again, I power a Pioneer audio/video system for TV and accessory video stuff into a big surround system; then I share those speakers with a separate dedicated HI-FI system. If I could afford to put speakers in other rooms (zones), then the unit could drive up to six additional areas. Hope this helps.

Glad to help, but you should first check your manual. I found the manual online for you and on page 105 and it tells you that you can change receiver from 6 ohms and 8 ohms. So the answer to your question is yes.

Go to the link below, and remember that any speaker that is not one of your seven speaker minus your sub will only produce 2 channel stereo. What your talking about would cost you more money then buying a 11.2 receiver, and after you were done you would be wondering what speaker cables from the receiver, plug into your brand new $3,000 11 channel amp.http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/ultimate-surround-sound-guide-different-formats-explained/

You can use this player with your 5.1 receiver. You need to go into the player's audio setup menu and set the surround back channel to "None." The player will then only output to the 5.1 analogs (just leave the surround back analog connectors unused). This is what am doing.

Hello, In your sub you should already have the circuitry needed. Just use your front L+R outputs and double them up going to your front speakers and to your sub. Yes L+R in one input on the sub. You may have to set your volume on your receiver for your front speakers a bit higher once you setup. I have done this for decades in may instances and it is also in the Yamaha manual online.
