Is this a receiver and an amp in one that is 7.1 digital compliant?

It is a receiver and really that is it. Not really a unit to be used as an amp. Not 7.1 compatible.

I used mine to split the signal from the subwoofer in the 7.1 receiver to made a 7.2 surround sound receiver and it work just perfect, but I'm not sure if you can split a digital output into analog signal.sorry that I could not be more helpful. Good luck.

I dont know, but I dont think so. The amplifier/receiver has very few inputs. They are of the old red/white/yellow analog type. What I have found is that this thing sounds real good when you have compatible media playing on it. I cant get it to work right from my TV or my Blue ray player, but if I play an old DVD thru the system itself, it sounds OK. Not very loud. I would look elsewhere, to be honest. Very limited compatibility, IMHO

Yes. One of the advantages of this product over previous high-end Denon amps is that it has digital-to-analog decoders not just for Zone 1, but also Zones 2 and 3. This means digital input from Apple TV HDMI results in signal to Zone 2 and 3 analog preamp outputs. If you are using the amp in 5.1 mode, you also get amplified speaker outputs for Zone 2 with the 2 spare amps (since this is a 7.1 amp). We bought this amplifier for this reason, and I am happy with the result.

any 5.1 or a 2 channel also, when using as whole home system you should use a 2 channel amp.hope this works.

usually digital system have 1 or 2 analog extensions. If this is connected correct -will work

7.1 has nothing to do with this system, you just get two additional speakers (of the same brand or different brand) and connect to your receiver to make 7.1 from 5.1

If you use the optical output you can get 5.1 possibly 7.1 but it does not do that with analog.

Should be no problem as long as your receiver has optical or digital outputs.

my understanding is that this is the newer version and has a built in preamp. I would compare the specs at the Winegard web site or perhaps solidsignal.com

I think this might have all the details you're looking for: http://docs.pioneer.eu/Manuals/HTP_071_5707_00000_611_0S_manual/ I'm just using HDMI w/ embedded audio, but it has coax and optical for audio as well (and it will accept & process 7.1 in addition to 5.1, although to do 7.1 you need an external amp to do the side speakers - it has only amps for the 5.1 channels and then 2 RCA outs for the side channels). Other interesting thing to note is that it switches video w/ audio of course, BUT does not allow for any conversion of video format. So, while it has analog video inputs, it will only send those analog video signals to an analog video signal output, not the HDMI output (and vice versa w/ the HDMI - the HDMI video input can only be routed to the HDMI video output, not the analog video output). I like this unit. The speakers leave a bit to be desired, but the receiver is a solid foundation for a decent home theater setup.

Yes, if your receiver has spdif it'll be in 5.1 also. Make sure the PS is set to Dolby Digital/DTS and not PCM greater than 2 channels.

It can be either a 7.1 or 5.1 channel output, what really matters is that it is a good quality receiver, yamaha, onkyo, denon, marantz, etc. These type speakers require a good quality (high power) receive to push them and sound like they were built to sound. I hope this helps with your decision, good luck.

Here's the one I got for it. Works great and sounds amazing. Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Onkyo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HD7FGM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qGeztb0N5VY8Y

That is a 7.1 Theater receiver. It has front-wide and front-high options, but they won't play at the same time as the surround back. Basically is has 9ch posts for wiring but it still is only a 7.1 receiver. Check out our theater packages at www.premieravdallas.com Cory Cannon Premier Audio cory@premieravdallas.com

No, it's a preamp to allow a phonograph & play through a newer receiver that's not otherwise compatible..

I have a 7.1 receiver with 75 watts RMS per channel that works fine and has plenty of volume. These are base reflex (unsealed) speakers which are more efficient vs acoustic suspension speakers (sealed).
