I don't know anything about sound systems...can I set this up right out of the box or will I need something else? Thanks in advanced.

You will need a receiver or amp, speaker wire and wire cutter to connect them. It takes some work but it's not that bad.

Yes, it is east to set up right out of the box. You just need speaker wire. The speakers are a good value for the money. I am pleased with the quality.

Buy a receiver and hook up external speakers to the receiver. Only way you will get a decent sound out of this unit.I have a similar problem and after much debate, I am planning to buy Sherwood RX-41 9 105WAat model to augument this stereo system.Good Luck.

If you intend to connect your own speakers, you will need an amplifier. We did not realize this when we made the purchase. It has good sound on it's own, but I have two large 1980's speakers I would like to hook up to it and have not decided on an amplifier yet. Richard and Barbara in Florida

this unit isn't set up for that you would need the 7.1 setup mentioned in the other posts. i can speak for the quality of sound however and i would reccomend yamaha they sell a very nice and affordable 7.1 unit on amazon i believe for around $350 good luck

You need to plug speakers into any CPU and then you will have sound. Thanks, Computer World

You can hook it up with the regular red and white audio cables, optical cable or an hdmi cable the system comes with the regular cables and the optical cable. I have mind setup with the optical cable and it sounds great.

I'm sorry that I can't help out with that - I remember it wasn't easy to figure it out. A friend of mine actually got it working but it took a lot of time to get it done. The manual is difficult to understand as well. If you can figure out how to sync up your remote with the console, you will get a prompt screen that will walk you through the setup process. Don't get too frustrated though - it's an excellent sound system, you'll love it.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing the same dilemma now. Have the turntable, trying to figure out what I need to buy to go with it and am a novice at this. Besides speakers, do you need the stereo receiver or anything else?

I hooked mine up to my surround sound system, but unfortunately the sound only came through one speaker. Hope you have better luck.

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

Just like any other speaker system, this system needs an amplifier. This is NOT like a home theater system with built in amplifier.

It's not very practical to buy speakers, test them and then return them and repeat until finding the best solution. I'm sure going to stores and listening is good but it might sound different when you get it into your home setup.Do you have any suggestions on a good 5.1 setup for the onkyo 606 that doesn't break the bank?

I'd also recommend the Hogtunes speaker system. Works great. There are also YouTube videos that walk through the installation process.Good luck!JB

The speakers are built in I did look at the manual and it can also be connected to your computer and I assume the sound system of your computer can be used whether it is external speakers or just the sound system of your computer. It comes with a users manual which may help give you more information, but I just use the sound with in the key board. It does very well and you can control the level of desired sound.

You are correct in that this is not a stand alone component. It would have to hook into some sort of system that has speakers. For instance, I have a Bose Wave unit, and these hooked right into it. Your cost for a sound system depends on the quality you want. If you have separate units (your speakers are separate from your amplifier), then this unit would have to go through your amplifier. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, as I am only marginally tech smart! I can tell you that this Sony unit is excellent for playing and for copying CDs. However, I find it easier to make CDs through my computer these days!

I'm guessing you meant to say "I don't know what to get to set up the boss.." You will need something going into it like a mic or instrument and it's going to need output like an amp or speakers. But I have to tell you honestly that if you don't know those basics maybe this is not the device for you as it is very complicated. I traded mine in for the much more user friendly rc30. Just a thought and I hope that helps
