I have an analog receiver. Would this allow me to get audio from Amazon Fire box through surroundsound system? If so, how hard to set up?

You would need a DAC - Digital to Analog Converter. There are TONS of these available but this is not one of them.

Does your tv have an optical output? If so, yes this is what you need. Most HD flat panels have one. My spare tv is 10 years old and rocks it. What you'll need is a male-male rca cable (they typically have red and white tips), an open electric socket on your power strip, and an optical cable. This is really easy to setup. The hardest thing for me to do was plug the optical cable in... My tv is wall mounted, that's why it was hard. Once all the cables are hooked up, red to red, white to white, optical to optical, and the converter is plugged in you just need to access your TV's sound settings. Turn off your TV speakers and change the audio output to optical. Then you'll be watching your movies, cable, and Amazon Fire in surround sound.

Just feed the sound from your TV into your receiver, and then turn your TV sound all the way down to "zero" - then you will just use the receiver as your sound source on all programs - TV,, Netflix, Amazon, etc.That is what I did and it works great. How you do that will depend on your receiver inputs - could be done with HDMI, rca feeds, or optical digital cord - whatever it will accept.

just got my 5600 today and set up was nice.. can not figure out for the life of me how to get sound out to my receiver.. My older sammy had a audio out RCA connection. all i see with this is digital optical or something like that.. tried the head phone jack with one of the supplied 3-1 cables and no sound..any advise appreciated.

Your digital receiver is very common in that it needs to convert all audio, including analog audio, to digital. Unless your receiver has a way to turn off *all* digital processing then there is no way around it. Probably need to buy an analog only amp to avoid this double D/A conversion.

It doesn't work that way as far as I know. It is really mean to plug into your A/V receiver and connect to a bluetooth device (iPhone, tablet etc) and play the audio from that device over your speaker system. I think you're looking for a wireless headphone adapter or system.

I haven't used it with the Fire Box, just a Sony Blu Ray/Instant Streamer. I'm sorry, but I did not have any issues...worked flawlessly. Good luck!

The way I connected my rear (surround) speakers were to the surround amplifier that I placed in the rear of my room. The instructions are indicated in the manual. If you have any other questions, give Sony a call!

None as far as I can tell (and I'm pretty much a fanatic as far as my AV equipment is concerned). We have Verizon FIOS and I use my high-end Rotel integrated amplifier and Polk Audio speakers for the sound. My experience with this device has been excellent.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI. Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar. Hope this helps

This is a stereo receiver designed to play analog audio - so you can set up two sets of stereo speakers and a sub woofer. You can run the sets either together or independently. But you will only have stereo (i.e. two speakers) differential.If you want surround sound (utilizing more than two speakers) then this is not the receiver for you.

Yes, the unit has an optical input for surround sound, as well as a standard RCA input like you'd find on most TVs. Most likely, you can hook your box up to either input.

I have no Idea, my speakers are currently hooked up to my PS3 through regular RCA cables mostly and a few adapters. Since they are each powered speakers I don't need a receiver. You can plug an iphone or PC or whatever directly into them. If you want to plug into a receiver you'll want it to have RC outs on it.

Not sure I will be of much help, as I am not certain what you are asking. However, the speakers simply function/act as any other speakers that you would hook up to your receiver.

I have surround sound and all audio including comes through my speakers by way of my receiver. Where or how would I hook these up?

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable.You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

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

I don't know. But my guess is you cannot since this box needs a software driver typically installed on the PC that is connected through the USB port. It looks like the box has a optical input port that you can connect it to your Amazon Fire but you still need the SW driver to enable the box. You might be able to use the PC to control this box while getting the signal from your Amazon Fire, but you have to try it to see if this works.
