How to Configure 9040TXH to power 6 stereo speakers in different rooms I recently bought 9040TXH and am impressed with its set of features. However I cannot figure out the following.I have 3 rooms with 2 (Right and left) speakers (pre-wired) in each room mounted in the ceiling. I basically wanted to use these speakers for listening to music. How do I configure my receiver to do the following1. To be able to listen to the same sound source in all 3 rooms2. To be able to listen to 3 sound sources one in each room.Would I need extra devices to achieve this?

Someone could explain me please!! Its worse because the sound is very slowor poor whit my 5.1 RC energy speakers ???

i have the same situation and AV 9040txh, i have 2 rooms with 4 y 2 speaker, and think with multizone could control vol of the 2 speakers room, with my old ONKYO with multisource i can operate separately each rooms speakers. but no with the 9040txh !!! Why ???

It's cause you didn't read the specs of the 9040 before you bought it. it is essentially an Elite 21 in the regular Pioneer clothing. To do 3 zones (independently) you need to step up to the Elite 23 or higher.

I figured out that I cannot configure my receiver to play music in 3 different rooms. With 2 rooms, I can configure it to play the same sound as well as different sounds simultaneously. Only catch is that when configured to play 2 sounds I cannot control volume in the second zone.ps: Wby sound(s) I mean sound sources

I read that you can even connect up to five combos to the same reciever. So, it won't be a problem to have up to 5 different combos in the same room, working in different channels.

Thanks for the question. This 4 zone speaker selector actually has only 1 input. The output is to connect to another selector and then there are the outputs to the 4 sets of speakers. There are models that have 2 inputs so you can play two different sources at the same time in different rooms. Contact AV-Express for more information.

actually it is recommended that if you listen to multi-channel music, or like to listen to stereo music through all 5 (7, 9 whatever) speakers, then your speakers all need to match tonally. Optimally they should all be the same speaker. The hardcore will oftentimes rock 4 Floorstanders (2 fronts and 2 surrounds) with a matching Center.

The receiver, using the supplied microphone, will balance the levels from the various speakers for best listening results. Unless you are operating the unit at very loud levels, most listening environments do not use over about 1-2 watts of output. Your speakers appear to be able to stand very high power levels, so they would not be the issue. Do make sure that the receiver has adequate ventilation, especially if you really like to crank up the sound levels. 8 ohm speakers will work fine with the receiver. Just make sure that the connections are good and that there are no wire strands that could short across between the + output and the - output for each channel.

Well I don't know if I understood correctly your question, but what I know is that you can have both, you can have -11.2 composition and in the front you can have 6 speakers not considering subwoofers and central speaker. When with 11.2 I think that you cannot have 2nd and 3rd zones.

I Have 4 sets of speakers and I don't have issues. @ speakers are set for 'A' another set is set more "B" and there is an additional "C" and "D" that can be turned on same time to play all sets at once. As I use them The A and B represent different rooms.

It's hard to answer your question without being there. You can follow the instructions again and recynk the speakers. If that don't work hard wire each speaker, if one don't workyou may have a defective speaker.

If you don't have enough speaker outputs on your receiver, this will solve the problem. It also lets you create different zones, so if you have speakers in your living room, family room, etc, you can select which zones you want on or off.

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.

I am not familiar with what you are currently using but I would think so. You can use two separate systems (amplifiers supporting two separate and distinctly different set ups) and go to the same speakers to listen to each sound system.......or into six other zones or speaker setups. The box is very high quality and performs perfectly for my application. Again, I power a Pioneer audio/video system for TV and accessory video stuff into a big surround system; then I share those speakers with a separate dedicated HI-FI system. If I could afford to put speakers in other rooms (zones), then the unit could drive up to six additional areas. Hope this helps.

I've had this unit for a while now, and it works really well for the room that it covers. regarding your question, I can't recall all the setup options, but keep in mind: It has a woofer, center and two sides. It simply simulates the 5 channel, meaning there is actually no rear sounds of course. In my mind, having it simulate a 7 channel is asking a bit much without the additional speakers. (note: I don recall all the additional speaker outputs offered on the back of the receiver to add speakers, but if you want a true 7 channel, this is not the unit for you)

Yes, You can use almost any configuration. Once you run the setup The receiver detects the size and number of speaker.

I cant explain intelligent amp assign very well, but I think it means you can assign the amps to certain speakers you already have set up in the "on screen menu" of the receiver. I have all the 9.2 speakers set up in my room. Its 7.2 plus 2 front presence speakers and 2 rear presence speakers and 2 more speakers for use if you have an external amp. I hope this helps and tried to explain the best I can.

I went through a steep and maybe incomplete learning curve when I wanted to add multiple speaker pairs to my setup but I do not believe you have to have speakers to all of the inputs for 8 ohm output. This switch is auto impedance matching. My system is 4 ohm amplifier and I've had 1, 2, 3 and 4 pairs of speakers connected at various times and have never had 6 pairs, the switch has worked great and I use it all the time when I am at home. One thing I would caution on is that while description says that you can use two sources at the same time I've found that you get bleeding from one source to the other side.

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

The unit only has two speaker input/outputs- left and right. I don't think it will handle 6 speakers. There is bank of 4 switches on the back of each unit. You set the switch up or down for the 4 switches on the transmitter then set the 4 switches the same on the receiver. You could buy multiple sets of each and set the switches differently for each pair, so each pair could pair 2 speakers. That would be the only way I could see using it with 6 individual speakers.
