I wanted to know, if I have the receiver connected as a 9.1, can I change it to a 7.1, 6.1, 5.1 or 2.1 by using te remote?

? you can change the sound fields, especially from any of those to 2.1, but really what you probably want to know are the available dolby soundfield modes? not sure this helps.

I'm not sure how you have it setup as a 9.1. I have it set to 7.2. I'm don't think I can answer your question.
1135883
I Believe so go to the setup screen and you can select which format you want I use 7.1 very good receiver
1135884
I believe you can. I think it will over ride or by pass you connections if you prefer too. I would call Sony ES Technical Support to be 100% sure. (877)-619-7669

You should be able to do it through the audio menu. start by pressing home button then navigate from there.

The receiver can be used in a 5.1 environment. That is currently what I have. The setup procedure will detect which speakers you have attached.

According to the manual the AVR-888 can handle 2.1. You can find the manual (PDF) on the Denon website. Any receiver that accepts RCA stereo input - usually color coded as white and red - should be able to handle 2.1 since that's what stereo is. For anything higher than 2.1 you'd need a digital connection (optical or HDMI) or a source that has a separate output for every discrete channel.

You can replace it with an RF remote, they actually put out an RF and an IR signal but you'll still have to point the remote at the receiver if your receiver isn't RF capable. Keep in mind even if your receiver is RF capable you'll still need to go into the settings on it and link it to the remote in order for RF to work if you even want it to.

ask the seller for the receiver #.also, I may have mine for sale, as I just switched to Dish

Absolutely! This receiver lets you use a setup "up to" 7.2 channels. The speaker inputs are labeled for 5.1 as well. That's what I'm doing right now, secure in the knowledge that I can always add another two satellites and a second subwoofer later. Take a look at a picture showing the back of the receiver, the input panel, and you'll see it's labeled for 5.1 as well. Hope this helps!

No. I am using a 5.1 setup with this receiver and it combines the 2 back channels of the 7.1 with the rear channels to create a 5.1 setup with no lose of audio other than the spatial dynamics of a 7.1 setup.

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

This receiver can convert your input sound to whatever output you need. For example, you can convert 2.0 input from an audio CD to 7.1, 7.0, 6.1, 6.0, 5.1, 5.0, 4.1, 4.0, or whatever other combination you need down to 2.0.

If you are replacing the same model units - yes you can use a new remote with the old receiver. You will need to be sure the security dip switches are set in the same positions for both units and all should work correctly.

I just bought the Harmony 650 and it works with my Dish 722 receiver...you get the original remote place it 3 inches behind the Harmony remote and press on and it learns the functions of the original remote....if you get confused you can call the 800 number and they'll work you through it you can also customize the remote. It takes a while to get used to it...but i'm happy so far. I still keep the original remote just in case...i mostly got the Harmony for other devices that the remotes were getting old and weren't working properly

Yes although you will only get 5.1 instead of the possible 7.1 on ur receiver (2 ports would be unused unless u buy 2 extra speakers)

Yes. I currently use it as a 5.1 receiver. The other two speaker outputs can be toggled for 7.1 or as a separate powered 2.0 zone.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

Yes, you can simply use the 5.2 setting and it should work just fine. I'm not sure about bypassing the wifi on the receiver (I use it), but I believe you can deactivate it.

You can run 5.1 on it and either upgrade to 7.1 later or hook speakers up to Zone 2 and use them elsewhere.

Yes. All you have to do is match up the toggle settings (they control frequency) in your remote ( I believe there are 8) and copy the toggle settings in the Multicode receiver. They must be the same to work.
