Sony BDVE780W output audio CD to all speakers? Thanks in advance to anyone that owns this and can help. Can this unit output equal level sound to all 5 speakers (and sub) from an audio CD or Ipod...or are you just limited to the front two. Thx. Sony BDVE780W output audio CD to all speakers?

Yes the system plays music in Surround sound. The sound quality is wonderful, plus you can adjust the speaker volumes independently. I-Pod and CD music sound great (rear speakers are lower volume typically because they are closer too you). And the sub is kicking!!It comes with front speakers if you want to use other speakers you could use them, but you'll have to use their wires. Only speakers in the system I thought about replacing is the center channel honestly the box set speakers are pretty nice.Wires for the speakers have a strange connection into the system, but else wise it's just possitive & negative into the speaker itself.

Sony BDVE780WWill this unit act a a six-speaker stereo for music listening?Also, could I hook up a couple of good 8-ohm speakers to the front channels?Thanks,

This device only has two output channels, so some form of separate crossover would need to used from the outputs. I think adding components like that would defeat the purpose of buying a simple stereo amp like this, though. I'm using mine to drive left and right speakers which themselves have separate subwoofers built in to each of them, although there's no crossover circuitry; it's just two sets of wires coming out of each speaker. I put the subwoofer wires into the same amp output holes as the main speaker wires, so I'm not actually getting a discreet sub channel. I'm sure the EQ is way off, but for my purposes and at low volumes, it's not essential.

It has more to do with the output of your player and the expected input of the speakers. Example: If the output of the player is 75W per channel (per speaker) and the speakers are 75W, you should be fine. If the speakers are 150W, it may still work, but it won't be optimal. I have a Denon system that outputs 90W per channel and I split each channel to two speakers. This provided 45W per speaker and my speakers are 150W speakers. In this situation, I had to use a mini amp per each set of speakers to boost the signal.

Hi... It should do what you want. It's a basic input output switch. If you have PC 1 and PC 2 going into it with the output going to your speakers you should be able to switch between the 2 pc's . I use it for almost the same thing. I have an iPod and CD player the I go back and forth with to the same speakers. It should do the exact same with your 2 PC's . Hope this helps!

Hello, This unit does have Balanced outputs on XLR's as well as Unbalanced outputs on RCA and a Digital Out. So you just take one of the outputs of the CD player to the In put on your reciever/amplifier. It might be labled as an AUX input.

I don't understand the question. This is a CD output unit. What do you want to do?

It only has output for 4 sets of speakers. I guess you could connect two sets to one output but both would be on with that button.

About this comment; "CD's sound decent but near as good as a system meant to play them"...is there a device I might purchase to play CDs on this system so that they sound great...not just decent?

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. :)

Look at the pics and read the feature list! The rca in and out is for the tape send and return... these are not aux sends but simply a duplicate of the main l/r outputs but is not affected by the master fader. They say you can feed another device/mixer/amp with it but my guess it's -10db (consumer level) and not +4db (pro audio "line level").So, you have two 1/4 aux/monitor lines out, left and right main xlr and 1/4 outs outs, a 1/4 fx send for for if you want to use an external fx processor rather than the internal fx, control output to feed studio monitors or a headphone amp, four sub groups out that and finally a usb i/o but that I don't think that would be line level.

Without trying, I have no clue. However, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to create a mixer? For the price of 5 of these, you could get a decent mixer. Otherwise, even if you could essentially create 10 different outputs, I'm not sure there are any programs out there that would be designed to see 10 different audio sources. I could be mistaken. Regardless, I'm willing to bet there''s something out there that can already do what you need it to do, instead of piling up a bunch of external sound cards.

I have an Alpine CDE-103BT and a 120 gig ipod. I have installed everything and it only plays through my front speakers and I cannot control the volume, bass and treble. I have the plug to play the ipod through the stereo but controls are limited and I would much rather use this unit (Harmon/Kardon DP 1US). Please help me if you can. I have the joystick and the display already mounted. For that matter, I have the brain mounted to. Like I said, it works, but only with limited controls which defeats the purpose.

As Chris said below, the output on this device is limited to just speakers. It does not broadcast the audio via bluetooth. If you are playing via device on bluetooth it locks out the usb or sd/mmc It would connect to your hearing aid but then could only output your audio which could cause feedback. It did a great job on my devices: computer (bluetooth usb adapter ver. 3 and direct connect android pad with remote control changing the files on the attached device, bluetooth or direct but beware that sub usb charging jack needs reinforced.What are the options on you hearing device or model number.

Hi Susan sorry to hear of your problem, but my first unit had to be returned to store as it did not function, the second works fine on XP and with my ROBERTS sound unit,hope you get sorted soon

Agree with the previous comment with the one exception - mine had nonworking CD player so I returned it. Purchased similar but a little more expensive SONY.

Yes.You can enter into 'CD' mode, mount a CD, select 'CD Player' and using the rotary encoder wheel highlight a track to start playing from that track. The CD will continue to play until the last track has played. Output is at the RCA line outs and headphone jack. The Master volume does not control the output to the line outs.

Perhaps I am too simplistic, but I think the obvious answer is that since you can only record to a CD, the output is Digital. You cannot record to the tape or phonograph portions of the unit.
