Can I use this receiver to play streaming iphone music through 2 speakers and a sub woofer. if so, how do I connect the speakers?

Yes, you can do that using the Airplay functionality, for the Iphone some music players has the airplay functionality but not all of them, so you must ensure that you app. allow that part. You must connect the speakers as a front speakers and the sub woofer in the proper plug and that's it, enjoy it.

This receiver specifically has the Airplay function for iPhones and iPods to stream music through. You'd connect the speakers the normal old-fashioned receiver way - thru the plugs on the back of the unit. (If it's speaker wires you are connecting, I recommend getting the banana plug adapters, which are a MUCH better option than wrapping the wires around the screws. The plugs I bought were: Sewell Direct SW-29863-12 Deadbolt Banana Plugs.) This receiver allows for surround sound so you have a few options for placing the two speakers (but the front right and left are probably your best bet), and there's a specific plug for the subwoofer.

Caveat: I don't have two speakers, so I have not tried this myself. But in general, it depends on the audio source - some can connect to multiple Bluetooth outputs (such as my iMac), but some cannot (such as my iPhone). In any event, you would not end up with true stereo output (which would be left side sent to one speaker and right side to the other); instead, you would get the full signal sent to both speakers.

What receiver...? This is a switching device, splitting 2 channels into 4 speaker pairs. Yes it can be hooked up and operated to run 4 living room speakers and your outside speakers. You may experience some volume loss, but it would still work fine.

If you have a Bluetooth enabled device you can stream music that way. Be wary though, over time we have had issues with the Bluetooth not syching right away. We have to turn the stereo off and on, then cycle through the various connection options to get to Bluetooth before it will synch. If that sounds like a hassle, the USB port works very well with iPhones and iPods.

I ran my outputs through a radio shack 4 line microphone mixer (so I could mix in music from my iPod) and then from the mixer to my receiver. The mixer has volume controls to increase the signal to the receiver. I have had no problem with that setup other than having to avoid too much volume. I assume a preamp would work if you don't want to use a mixer. Hope this helps.

I don't believe so. It's able to play wireless music through an iPhone but not to other speakers.

I have no Idea, my speakers are currently hooked up to my PS3 through regular RCA cables mostly and a few adapters. Since they are each powered speakers I don't need a receiver. You can plug an iphone or PC or whatever directly into them. If you want to plug into a receiver you'll want it to have RC outs on it.

we use it with an iPod and an iPad...haven't tried it with the iPhone but I'm sure it would be fine. I have no idea about the receiver issue, but it makes sense that it would work

The amp has four pair of RCA Stereo jacks on the rear and a standard 3.5mm stereo jack on the front, for a total of five inputs. Provided the receiver has the ability to output to another amp or device this should not be a problem. As an alternative, if the receiver has a headphone jack, you could make a direct connection to the 'Aux-In' jack on the front of the amp. Finally, I imagine that the receiver must have speaker output terminals which could easily be attached to some old RCA cables and connected to a pair of the rear inputs.

I didn't buy the Yamaha R-S500 because of the comments regarding the iPhone 5 and 6 series were not compatible with the YDS-12BL. I was able to stream from my 1982 Pioneer receiver using the Aluratek iStream Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver. ($28.00) Connected via RCA IN and my iPhone 5s

the question is a bit vague. i'm guessing you're looking for an AirPlay alternative. this device would not fall into that category. it's designed to convert an analog source (such as a regular analog stereo system playing audio through a headphone jack) to a wifi signal and send it wirelessly to the receiver, which in turn outputs the received audio through another headphone jack. this allows you to have multiple sets of speakers connected to multiple receivers in different rooms in your house playing synchronous music from one source. you can't connect to these things wirelessly. the only wireless connection is between the W3 sender and the W3 receiver.

It depends on your setup. I have the Connect which comes with both RCA jacks that allow input into a receiver or AMP. This is great if you have a receiver which does not have streaming. My receiver is a multi zone receiver, thus I'm able to have the connect stream music to my second zone. Some of the more advanced Receivers today have built in streaming. The Connect Amp is if you don't have an Amp and you want to use existing wired speakers. The Connect Amp does not have RCA outputs, while the connect does. the Connect Amp does have a sub-woofer output.

I am almost certain that you can only use bluetooth as an input to the receiver. I looked in my user manual and it says I can pair up to 6 devices but it says nothing about being able to pair the receiver to bluetooth speakers. Here's a link to the user manual:http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=CS-355(B)&class;=Audiosys&source;=prodClass that you can look at for yourself. We needed a very compact system for our kitchen and this one has been great. Using bluetooth to connect our phone devices works great - although I know that wasn't your question.

I am assuming you have an Android phone? And yes, you are correct, you can stream music from your phone to this receiver. I do it all the time from my Samsung Galaxy S4.

Can an iPhone be connected to these speakers independent of a PC? We want to use to playback music while rehearsing (live music).

I am familiar with that specific receiver, however, if it has Bluetooth capabilities it should be able to connect with speaker. Keep it mind that this a small speaker with good sound quality , yet it is not a replacement for a main speaker system.

You can still use this receiver for 5.2. It will configure to what speakers you hook up. You can also bypass the wifi. In your setup you can do that there.
