Can you BI-AMP this receiver in stereo only using the surround back ports ?

Yes using the front mains and the surround channels you can bi-amp the front mains. That's how I have my Paradigm Studio 40's and it made quite a difference- though you'll also have to re-equalize the room after

Yes provided speakers can accommodate, you can reassign the back channels to biamp or play in a 2nd zone.

Hi, I purchased this amp for a two channel configuration, and I am very happy with the results; it has much more power and more fidelity than an integrated receiver. I think that maybe you only have to configure your system to provide the same power level to all the speakers; if not, the front speakers will sound louder than the rest. Regards.

With only one stereo output you need an rca cable splitter, thats about all u can do

No unless you buy a separate preamp. I don't know any new receivers that do.

How do you bi-amp a speaker from one source? Can you give an example of a receiver with this feature? Does one need to buy an extra amp?

From the receiver that it's hooked up to, you can. Otherwise, this is not a stand alone stereo.

don't think so, it old tech & has only analogue inputs, I would think your 5 ch surround is probably digital audio, you would only be able to use it for equalising 2 channels only, (probably the fronts) would at least need to look at your user manual for your surround system to get a better understanding of what you are actually trying to do. but would think that you would only be able to alter your fronts or backs or subby with it but definitely not all of them at once.

Short answer, yes. But you won't be able to split the channels (L/R) on your interface. As you are going into a mono input this shouldn't be an issue.

No, just running a receiver "Onkyo" model 616. I have 2 separate sub amps for the front and rear sub woofers

technically yes. As long as your receiver accepts passive wiring connections.

Straight stereo receivers have speaker A/B buttons that allow you to do that. Surround sound receivers don't usually. If you want to use this unit that way you'll have to run the front left and right speaker wires into an external speaker selector box and then from there run two more sets of wires to wherever you want to place the speakers.

This receiver does not have any kind of surround sound so there are only 2 channels, right and left. There is the ability to hook another set speakers with the A/B speaker switch that is built in.

Here's the answer. Use SB Assign (surround back speaker assign) to set the surround back speaker connections to 'SPK B' (speaker B). Then be sure to set the speaker selector on the front of the receiver to Speaker A+B.

You'll still be able to use the surround outputs, but not the ones bypassed by your amp

some receivers allow you to "bi amp" a speaker.it separates the highs and the lows sent to the speaker.some think sounds better by passing the speakers internal crossover.I don't think so.now if the speaker had no crossover and you HAD to bi amp,then it would sound better no doubt.

According to the manual, you can. It even has dual rca ports for connecting one amp to the other.

It has stereo jack outs that come from the on board pre-amp. You can use those or there are stereo jacks you can hook into your own pre-amp then into the receiver.
