How can I use it with my Pioneer Home theater system which only has wired speaker outputs?

I'm not sure why you would need the Sony system if you already have a Pioneer home theatre system? You would need to use one or the other. Let me know if you had something else in mind

you can go to Radio Shack and buy MP-3 type single post plugins to convert from 2 wires to the needed size plug.

The Sony sound bar is a stand-alone sound system for use with your TV; it has and left and right speakers and amplifier in the "sound bar" which is placed under the TV and a wireless sub woofer that goes elsewhere in the room. It would totally replace a home theater system. If you have one and it works well you would not ave to replace it with the sound bar system.

You can read my review, I have two systems, a 5.1 sony surround and I just added this sound bar last night to get better sound from netflix. The reason for this is that my dvr box is hooked up to the surround sound system via an optical digital cable. Very pleased!

There is no easy way and the results wouldn't be that good. Sony has an older model under $100 that would work.

Andrew:>Here's the problem: the stupid Pioneer certainly has 7.1 OUTPUTS to the 7 speakers and the sub, but the INPUTS are only 5.1You can still use the 7.1 outputs to the 5.1 inputs; just don't use surround back left and surround back right.

It just outputs signals. There is no power amplification for speakers, so yes, you need an AV receiver or some amplifier of some sort.

You would need some sort of volume controlled amplifier to hook the output from the converter to your speakers, such as a stereo receiver or integrated amp. The audio output from the converter is a low level signal not capable of driving speakers. Hope this helps.

I would check this site, http://www.simplyspeakers.com/speaker-grills.html. Not Pioneer, but should work.

I had the same problem. Sony STRDE985 home theater receiver. Wanted to hook up my wireless speakers to use as the rear surrounds, but I only have speaker terminals, not direct outputs. So, I found an adapter at www.connectworld.net that you use with the RCA adapter that came with the speakers. The adapter from connectworld has a female RCA plug on one end, and two speaker wires on the other end. You will need two of these units. They cost 4 bucks a piece, plus shipping. I just ordered them, so I haven't received them yet to know if that is the solution to my problem. Hard to imagine that it WOULDN'T be, though. I had the same problem.

A center preout would be needed to officially connect to tv input or soundbar input. Sadly, one is not provided by Pioneer. A previous model without hdmi inputs had this but no longer. Output impedance is between 6 ohm to 16 ohms. Roger

The speakers for this are not wireless they are wired. Does not have digital optical input

You can use the aux input located on the back of the system. You have to buy an analog Y speaker wire with a 1/8th plug insert

You just need a speaker cable that converts from whatever the pioneer uses to a speakon plug or a phono plug. Amazon probably carries that cable. The Pioneed should have enough power to run these - they are 8 ohm speakers.Just search for "banana plug to speakon" for one possibilityAlso there is a newer series of jrx speakers - you should probably get those instead.

Instead of an amplifier, using a home theater receiver such as Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha, Sony, etc. is a better alternative since you can use the unit as part of your home stereo system. Most of these receivers, if not all, have TV, DVD Player, CD Player, AM/FM Radio, etc. audio inputs at the back. Using an audio cable (red/white color), connect the TV audio output to the TV audio input of the HT receiver by matching the color of the connectors. Using speaker cables, connect the left speaker to the left channel speaker terminals at the back of the receiver. Watch the cable polarity by matching "+" & "-" terminals at both ends otherwise the speakers will not sound good. Do the same to the right speaker. Turn on the TV & HT receiver. Set or click the TV input at the receiver and adjust the volume as needed. You can either leave the TV sound on or turn it down to the minimum, your choice.

you just connect your fronts and center channel speaker wires from receiver to the speaker bar. You can use bare wire or banana plugs. This is a non powered speaker bar.

Just use speaker cable to hook up to receiver/amplifier. Speakers draw power from amplifier so no power cable needed.

If you already have speakers, get a receiver or amplifier. Amazon should have an assortment to browse.

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.

You would have to connect direct to your stereo. You can run the extra speaker wire from the same outlets.

you can use rca cable input and output on the projector for audio connection. Or for the external speakers, you can lead a cable from the video source to a Powered speaker or through a receiver for a non-powered speaker.
