There's only one receiver for both back speakers. Which means I still have to run wires along the back wall of the room to reach both speakers. Doesn't this defy the whole purpose?

Not really. It prevents you from having to run speaker wires from your amplifier (usually located in the front of the room) to the back wall. In my case I have hardwood floors on a raised foundation. So option 1 would be to go under the house to directly connect my rear speakers to my amplifier located on the front wall. Or option 2, run wiring along the baseboards in casing to hide them (or make them less obvious). Option 3 could be to drop wiring from the attic, however of it's an external wall, insulation will prove difficult to route through. If I had carpet as before, I could pull up the carpet and run the wires from the front of the room to the back. At least with the receiver plugged into the back wall, you can hide your speaker wires behind a couch or inside baseboard casing that could hopefully be out of view.

It does not have an A channel and B channel, which is what my old receiver had to separate set of speakers. Also, the back only has connections for 1 set of speakers. I don't know what kind of speakers you have. You'll have to look at the specs. I use bookshelf, Polk speakers

Hmm... I've never come across a question like this before. Well, I suppose you would have too bridge the connections. I'll try to explain as easy as possible... use the positive post from the right channel to the positive post on speaker... and then the negative post from the left channel to the negative post on the speaker. This will "bridge" the two channels to serve as one sound source (in theory) I've done this with car subs but never with home theater components. I would seriously do your research further before you attempt this because I would hate for you to buy a great speaker and something happened to it

Yes. All modern receivers I know of can be used with just two front speakers or additional speakers in any sensible combination, up to their maximums.

I'm still confused, and hoping someone can help. We have one of these right now, and with a 2nd child coming, I want to buy a 2nd one. I would like to be able to hear BOTH rooms on one parent receiver on the same channel. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

2 way but only two terminals on each speaker. Assume there's an internal crossover circuit. So no, only 2 wires per speaker.

I haven't done that but the on-line instructions say you can attach two sets of speakers with normal speaker wire and a woofer, and also use the RCA - but I can't believe you can use them all at once - sorry I can't be of more help - I'm just a novice

I have never tried because I'm only using one output to my receiver but it should work using both outputs to the same input.

You only use one wire to this one & another wire to the other. Positive & negative ... 2 channel,2 speakers

I don't understand your question--you speak of connecting one regular speaker wire to these rca connections, but this _is_ the speaker wire, so it sounds as if you're asking about connecting a speaker wire to the speaker wire. This product is only used to connect speakers that have a single rca input on the back to a receiver, so on one end of each wire there's a male rca jack, and on the other there's two strands of bare copper wire that you connect to the positive and negative terminals on the back of your receiver. The rca jack does not plug into the receiver, as there's only one rca plug per wire--so if you're looking for speaker wire with rca plugs on the receiver end, this isn't the right product for you.

No, you have to connect them all with wires. The system can be used as a 3.1 setup, meaning that you don't have to hook up the rear surround speakers at all .... this is the way I am using it. The receiver routes the sound accordingly.

You have to use speaker wire from the receiver to the sub, then your front speaker to the sub which is a hardwired way to do it...

The cheapest, easy fix would be to just wire your surround back speaker (which is what the one directly behind you is designated in a 6.1 system, not sure why it's not just called 'rear center') into both of the outputs in the receiver marked 'left rear and right rear'.The alternative would be to use the S-Air wireless feature and add the extra speakers that way.

It is one transmitter and one receiver with outputs for two speakers. You might try contacting the manufacturer to see if the receiver is capable of handling more than two speakers, but they would be on the same two (right and left) channels respectively. This unit has worked very well for me with a 5.1 surround system with just two rear speakers.

There is a one wireless receiver that the rear speakers connect to via wires.

You have 5 separate channels on the back of the speaker. You could only connect the center channel but it would be a waste of the other speakers enclosed. There are much better choices if you are only looking for a center channel speaker.

This isn't for Blutooth speakers. The receiver must be connected to two traditional speakers with speaker wire.
