Can this receiver listen to audio from more than one source, one at a time, with the TV off?

Yes. Double check the wiring connections as shown in the manual. It's little tedious but if you do it as they direct it will work fine

If you mean use for example, an iPad to play music on both speaker sets at the same time, no. They will be on different frequencies and the source can only connect to one thing at a time.

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

Yes. The receiver has two subwoofer outputs. They cannot be separately controlled from the receiver.

I really can't answer this for sure as I do not use my receiver with a TV or sound bar etc...it is strictly used in my home theater so that feature is not used. however, I did use it to do the initial setup and had it connected for a few days with no problems as others have mentioned.

Directly off the soundbar, no - you could attempt to pair another one to the television as a device but I think it will only support one "session / connection" at a time.

At the same time? Probably not. Never tried but the way it's set up I don't think you can. It would have to choose which one to stream the audio from.

It has multiple source input but there is only one L/R output that's either on or off. It hooks up between the audio source(s) and your receiver.

It only has one speaker input, but I don't think it would be a problem if you have a receiver that could bridge the connection, or made for 1 surround.

Yes, I have both a directv unit and a dvd hooked up to it and then the tv. I just don't turn on the receiver if I just want the tv speakers.

Yes, this product worked for me in a similar setup. My one output from my TIVO goes to this device, then one output from this device goes to Yamaha receiver and the other goes directly to the tv. This allows me to listen to music on my Yamaha receiver while watching something different and not associated with the yamaha A/V receiver on the TV.

Good question. I haven't done that. It does airplay. So I'm not sure. I will try to see you are able to turn on and off the receiver

I would think not. I would imagine that the output on your device is not capable of handling more than one. Also I think you would have to think about the impedence of the speakers combined.

There is an analog out and an optical out... either running RCAs or optical cable. The unit doesn't have enough power to run speakers on it's own... that is why a separate receiver is needed. If you have a set of powered computer speakers with a volume that is also another option as long as it has RCAs or optical in!!

To clarify, the receiver can output video to 2 TVs at the same time, but not audio. I have this setup now. I have the ONKYO receiver sending video to my main TV as well as to my bar TV. Sound goes through the receiver speakers, not the TV.

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.

If you are talking about two different sound sources feeding into one set of speakers, I don't know about that. If you have two rooms, both with a set of stereo speakers that you want to wire for sound, but only have one stereo source, this device, properly installed, will allow both rooms to be on simultaneously, or either room on alone. And it works great.
