Hi , this is an active box , you need to choose a non powered box to be able to use your receiver. Cervin wega has the box but non active. You could add a mixer to it if you like , but you do not have to , Let me know if you have more questions , or you could call us

You would need a receiver. I would recommend either Yamaha or Denon budget around $300 - $500

This receiver does WAY more than I'll ever use. I got it because it has 2 HDMI outs for 2 monitors. Great price for a receiver with that option. Judging from the other answer I would look in to the DENON AVR4000 or Higher for your needs or better yet, a Marantz Slimline. The upper end models look to have everything in a very small package.

I was wondering the same thing. It's a shame onkyo doesn't list compatible stands on their website. I've been searching and not finding anything. I just got my system and will take it out of the box and see what we are looking at. Do you ever find anything usefull for mounting or just stands?

Yes. I have an Onkyo. You literally run cables to the transmitter like just like you would run them to your speakers. Then the receiver (across the room) has cables that run to your rear speakers.

Never tried with Onkyo. Only with Logitech, Bose, Sony and Phillips and I had good results in all of them.

Thanks for the response. I have a ONKYO SR505 and am connected like you are. With this A/V unit I must use the audio optical cable if I want surround audio to the speakers. I can use the HDTV speakers to get HDMI quality sound which defeats the purpose of having a surround system.

I have them paired with an Onkyo TX-NR626 receiver and they sound great. The Onkyo is like these speakers in that it's a good value. You can spend as much as you want to on speakers and receivers, but it takes a lot of money to make gradual steps up the ladder from these.

Page 89 in the Onkyo manual is the beginning of the instruction set. If you don't have a manual, it's available online. Just Google tx607. I use a Harmony One universal for both of my systems. Well worth the money and easier setup.

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

Which of the two optical inputs on the Onkyo do you feed the optical cable from the TV to? I'm not having success in getting satellite video and audio through the Onkyo to play at the same time.

I have the VIP-722 receiver and it works great. It should work fine with your receiver as well.

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.

L/R analog rca jacks, optical (Toslink), or HDMI CRC (which does *not* work with my Yamaha receiver!)

Andrew:>Got to upgrade the receiver for the HD, at which point I'll just use the HDMI. As for what you guys are discussing, maybe the manual is outdated, since a firmware update enabled this unit to output the DTS-HD Master Audio Decoding via the HDMI, without having to go the analog route.Yeah. I would go ahead and upgrade; there are so many good deals on quality receivers right now. I have an Onkyo TX-SR706 with everything I need. I've had it for a week now and it blows me away.

If you plan on using a 3D source (TV 3D, BluRay 3D etc) then you will need a 3D enabled/ready amp. Almost anything made in 2013 and above $300 will have what you need (again make sure "3D ready"). I love my onkyo's TX-NR414 & 717

James, not familiar w/ that reciever, the onkyo speakers probably would work well with your reciever, great speakers.
