Can I plug all 6 of lmy 5.1 speaker wires this device and just choose which ones to use. Either all at once, or just a couple? (headphones)

It only supports 4 devices in... and I'm not entirely clear how you'd use it for typical headphones out, it doesn't have a headphone jack. You also don't use the box to isolate particular cords. Unless you're trying to split them up over the 4 'device' inputs? Which theoretically would let you change between 4 different lines... but they'd still have to be component outputs. I have to admit this is an odd query.

W Davis It would not work very well. Not enough input out put config for this application

I don't think so...there's 1 input & 4 outputs...so you can switch between AV components 1, 2, 3 or 4 but not all at the same time. I use mine for my DVD player which doesn't have an HDMI plug. I bought my switchbox when I had a 2nd component (an older Tivo) that wasn't HD and I needed a way to easily switch between them since there was only one set of Component AV inputs on the back of my Vizio TV. This switchbox worked great for that. I've since upgraded my Tivo to Tivo HD using an HDMI cable, so now I only have the DVD player on the switchbox but I'm keeping that config in case I add any other AV components to my setup in the future.

this unit is not a speaker switching device. it is made for switching between a/v components or audio components. if you wanted to use one of the four outputs for headphones , your headset would have to be converted to red and white rca cables. radio shack sells this convertor plug. you can only use one output at a time.

Depending on the number speakers you may use, most of us have two, left and right for stereo, you should be able to compensate for the issue mentioned from the audigy control panel. I have three speakers with a bass added and it took some playing with the controls to get the sound I wanted. It gives you an option for speaker/headphone configurations from stereo to 5.1 surround sound and one for headphones. Your mileage will vary. Hope this helps.

Jack, you can do that. The only thing you have to consider is 1. Both inputs L & R need to be connected, otherwise the system works in mono. 2. You can select only one input A or B on each headphone output, not both at the same time.

It just so happens that I have two of these and a Y-jack for headphones, so I tried it. The requirement would be that you have a splitter (Y-jack) plus two USB ports available for two speakers. It did work, and of course was louder than just the one, but wasn't true stereo. I previously had a Y-jack that split stereo to mono, but I'm not sure where it is. If I find it I'll post the results here. Bottom line is you can't daisy-chain these, but with a splitter or even mixer (why?) you can make it work.

Sorry this took so bloody long (if you'll pardon my French). On the back of the unit you will find a bank of 5.1 outputs (there are none for 6.1); using a 5.1 cable (not supplied, naturally), connect these to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier / receiver. Or, if your amplifier / receiver is so equipped, you can use the coaxial connection (coaxial cable also not supplied). Hope this helps. My first thought was to refer you to the User Manual, but that woulda been snarky, and anyway the darn thing is so confusing it should be called a Useless Manual. But anyway, ciao for now!

For "real" stereo, one speaker plays left and one right but one speaker alone sounds terrific to me. Go ahead and get one....you will end up getting another if you don't want to carry a speaker (though very light weight and not really a problem) from room to room.I think you will love one or two. I asked the company (excellent email response in less than 24 hours) about using more than 2 and that is not possible now but the company rep forwarded my suggestion to the techie types as a possiblity.aah

My husband hooked this up. We have 2 speakers in and 2 outside. He said you just have to decide which ones you want to play together. So if you want the 5 inside to play together hook these up to the screws on either side marked A/B, then the outside ones would get hooked to the screws marked B. Now the 5 inside should play alone when position to A, the ouside ones should play when in B position, and they should all play when in th A/B position. Hope this helps.

That isn't correct. The speakers aren't limited. Your bluetooth device is limited to connect to one device at once. There are apps for devices to work around this.

Can I purchase 2 units run work off the same amplifier so I can have 4 devices auto connect? Also how does it know which device to play first?

My speakers do not use the digital interface, but I am using 5.1 speakers. If your speakers use the digital interface, I don't see any reason why they would not work in 5.1.

You can use only 1 at the time. There is a button on remote control to to switch between speakers and headsets.

This device can handle six devices at a signal level so, provided that your speakers are not passive ones but have a built in amplifier it will be suitable for you. Every switch is a push to on so remember to have only two switches pushed at same time: the one of the source you want to listen to and the one of the speakers. If you push a 3rd switch of a connected source the input impedance will be lowered resulting in a lower listening level and distortion. If you will keep in mind this, this product will perfect for you.

I have 4 speakers working, no problem. Just had to attach with a little trial and error and patience.

These Amplifiers are for floor speakers only. You can hook up 4 speakers if you want but it was not designed for 5.1 surround. Its a Kickin' amplifier. Lot of power....Hope this helps.

You can choose to only use one if you would like. It also works with other speakers if you have the right connection cord.

I only have two speakers. It's plug and play. I think that one will fun four speakers. I suggest you look at hogtunes.com for a complete rundown on the hogtunes products and help.

Nope can only pair one at a time. Check out the soundfreaq platform 2. Those u can pair two :)
