I want to use it in my Home 5.2 receiver, will I need some extra 12V adapter to make it function?

Yes it is a safe bet this unit is going to need power to do it's magic. So if you can shoot 12V dc out of your fingertips, you're all set. If not, the adapter will the way to go.

If your receiver has enough power (say at least 120 Watts per channel) it should be okay to hook it up to the receiver.

That would depend on the voltage and amperage that your system produces. If its a 12 volt system running at 5 amps you should be fine hooking it up.

The receiver unit power adapter says input 110/240 V; but sender unit only says 120V. I guess you should be fine if you can find a 220V converter as long as it has the right plug and an output of 9V DC 250mA

I did not need one it should work without an adapter. If you haven't already purchased the unit I would advice against it, it's a piece of crap with no support when it fails and it will fail.

You will need a available plug t plug the receiver into. Typically you are already using the one plug for a CVD changer or other remote and you need to purchase a "y" adapter.

This amplifier requires a preamp, or existing receiver. If your subwoofer is powered, you will have to use the preamp or receivers subwoofer preout. If your subwoofer is passive, you can sent the signal to the amplifier but will not be able to run a true 5.1 surround

just about any 12V AC to DC adapter would do.i have use many electronics that came with 12V dc adapter that is rated 2A, and they always does the job better than what came with the device.

You will need to purchase a separate adapter. I saved some money by purchasing a Visual Sound Visual Sound One Spot Adapter available at Visual Sound Visual Sound One Spot Adapter It has the correct electrical requirements.

Hello, I am not sure as to wether or not that particular connection will work, the size of the male end of the cable is the same as any standard A/V cable (red & white) so if that size fits in your audio out its a cheap option to try out. It was intended to deliver audio and I'm sure it will be able to meet your power requirements. Mine is running from a blu ray to an older 5.1 surround system with excellent results. Hope that helps a little, sorry I didn't have a better answer.

Yes, you just need to buy a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter from Radio Shack or an electronic parts store

12V should be more than enough. I believe the power adapter I used was only 3.4V (or at least not more than 5V), and it worked perfectly.

No, you need a separate 5.1 Channel amplifier. This is not a "Home Theater in a Box". You need something like "Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver" - which will provide enough power to the speakers (as mentioned for this model, 10-120W / channel). Hope this helps.

You will need a good amplifier only.Also it may be atacched in other Audio-video receivers as an auxiliar component. It is up to you.Regards,Hector

Yes. It comes with a standard "S" connector. all you have to do is plug it into your receiver.

in fact, I'm using it JUST FINE with a 5v power supply. since it works great with 5v, I see no need to over-voltage it with 12v. yes, it will have an onboard dc/dc converter but as I found out, 5v is enough for it. center pin is plus, of course.

Yes it will. The receiver is the main part you need to bring in the HD signals.
