Does this unit have an AB speaker switch? I have speakers outside that I enjoy around the pool. The old Sony does so that's what Im looking for.

No. Buy the 7.1 channel version and you will be able to have 5.1 in one room, and a two speaker system in another... but not with this model.

No, this unit does not have A/B speaker switching. According to the manual though, the next model up has the A/B switching and I am thinking about upgrading just for that option. The next model up is the RX-V573.

While the speaker has the appropriate buttons to change songs I have not tested but it would also be dependent on the device and/or app the speaker is paired with. The speaker buttons are of a design where using with slightly wet hands are possible. However, depending on the surface it is resting on it could take two hands to use the buttons. I would say that this would be an excellent pool side speaker, though not certain if it could be heard at an ocean beach with wave action. For the price it's worth a chance.

Frank, there is no "A" or "B" speakers, just "Front". If you need to wire a second zone, you have to connect the speakers to the upper front or surround back input, I don't remember well right now. Regards and good luck.

Yes, I have taken mine to the pool and the beach. I just set it on my cooler at the beach out of the sun. The sound is very clear and loud enough to hear. As with any electronic device just use common sense, and the Sharkk Bluetooth 4.0 BoomBox will server you well. I hope this answered you question.

No one? I am specifically looking for a UBS output to speaker system. The reason is fidelity & elimination of latency. Take up a port? Don't you have a powered hub with a jillion outputs?

Yes, it works with any Bluetooth A2DP device, however I would not recommend it. I tested and thoroughly compared about 60 different Bluetooth speakers recently. The SHARKK Bluetooth 4.0 speaker is the best bang for your buck, period, and it has double the battery life they list because they upgraded the battery but didn't update the description. Though it's sound is a tad sharp, the Altec Lansing iMW575 speaker is the best waterproof one I've discovered. It's loud and clear but does start to distort at high volume when the battery gets very low, instead of just turning off. Maybe they fixed that with a firmware update. The best non-waterproof speaker hands-down is the Sound Blaster Roar SR20 and it really cranks out awesome, clear sound with sweet bass and amazing battery life. Speakers that support APT-X and AAC audio codecs have clear, uncompressed sound. Skip Bose, except for the Soundlink mini, which sounds very good but is a little soft. Most Bose is way overpriced. The Sony SRX-X7 is awesome but also overpriced and the software, if you choose to use it, is way overcomplicated and buggy.

Only if BT was selected before. Other than that you'll have to use the remote to switch from the source that was selected before, like optical for example. But you will always have to set the source you're playin from to BT. Note that if you've switched the speakers off from the switch on the back it might not retain the selected source and volume, bass and treble adjustments, they only retain them when switched off from the remote. Anyways I highly recommend those speakers for their excellent sound and ability to connect to five sources.

Not only is there no 'fader' between A & B speakers (which would be nice though it's not a typical feature) but there is no pre-out for speakers so you can't use a separate amp (and still control the volume remotely). There are lots of other useless inputs/outputs and even a pre-out for the subwoofer, but alas no pre-amp output for speakers.

You can run some external speakers on the deck or patio with the addional B speakers. The type depends on your taste and costs. But if their outdoor you shouldn't have any issues finding good quality outdoor speakers. Hope I helped.

Nope, it's just a passive ( speaker level ) inputs sub. You could in theory hook up a cheap amp/receiver and then run speaker wires to it, but I doubt you would see any major quality upgrade. The thing sounds great in the yard... Better now than last year I think. I have it mounted under my deck, and the bass just blends perfect with the satellites.

No, they don't have a normal audio input, just Bluetooth. You can probably get some sort of bluetooth adapter, but is probably easier & cheaper just to buy "normal" outdoor speakers.

Thanks for your question. You could run two pair of outdoor speakers off of an external amplifier that would hook up to one of the zone line outputs. If you run the outside off of unused speaker outputs, then I would not play two pair of outdoor speakers very loudly when playing them simultaneously. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Pioneer dealer.

Sound carries well on beach.i don't think you may hook up speakers but you could hook up another unit. Need a separate power source for speakers , I think this is all accurate info.

There is a switch on the unit, however, my speaker stopped working properly. The speaker omits a buzzing sound. Don't buy this speaker.

Does it include a remote? I was just looking at the product details on Amazon and I do not see where it states that a remote is included. It says, "OPTIONAL" waterproof remote. I didn't buy the "optional" remote. I just looked through the original packaging that this speaker came in, and no, a remote was not in there.

The unit does not have outlets for additional speakers; however, for about $10 (Radio Shack) you can get an expansion pad that allows you to connect additional speakers. You just connect the pad to the speaker connections and then you will have an A & B capacity.

I have paired my speakers with an AudioSource Amp 100, have them out by my swimming pool and am very satisfied with the combo.Good luck, Richard
