I'll be using hand-me-down surround speakers for a while. Can I use the RX-V377 with just two speakers if the surround ones fail?

Yes; the receiver will recognize that only 2 speakers are being used. It will indicate on the front panel that the 2 Fronts are active.

Yes you can. I'm using a left and right speaker plus a large subwoofer. It fills the living room pretty well.

I hooked mine up to my surround sound system, but unfortunately the sound only came through one speaker. Hope you have better luck.

I'm not entirely informed when it comes to surround sound systems, but the front two speakers are usually dedicated to dialogue and most people who I've talked to say that they are the most important. That's why I'm looking more are the 7300. You can always update the speakers and use the same receiver later if you get the 6300 though. I think I'll wait a while longer, but I'll probably get the 7300. Thanks again for contacting Onkyo for us! :)

You can connect two pairs of speakers and switch the pairs on or off individually. BUT this is NOT "surround sound" or "Quadraphonic". It's just two pairs of stereo speakers. This is a two channel (stereo) receiver. For true surround sound or quadraphonic, you will need an amplifier with more channels or several of these amplifiers wired to provide the front pair, center, and back pair with their own independent channels.

With 100 percent, the answer would be "No".. This pair is only designed to support two surround speakers or maybe for any pairing (top front, side, or top back), but no support for surround pair with subwoofer..The unit here is works great and I highly recommend this to anyone who hates running speaker wires from front to back..Soundcast does indeed offer the wireless subwoofer solution now and I've seen it on Amazon as well and I believe it support up to two subs...Hope my feed backs help..Good luck!

Yes. I'm using my old front tower speakers as my current surrounds. Works perfectly for my setup.

Hey David ~ ive installed mine with the Pre-Concern that you had as well, no worries at all, it can be installed perfectly in any direction. nothing against your surround speakers. :D

I use a standard receiver (amplified) and 4 work fine. I added an amplifier/speaker switch to run 4 pairs or 8 speakers from the one receiver. But just for 2 pair any receiver (amplified) should work fine.

We have a surround system with our tv. It doesnt need to have a seperate speaker so the tv speakers should be ok

I don't think so, this is a low-end surround setup so probably not.i can check for sure if you want?

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 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.

Yes you can use various speaker setups including only two. Either from the built in menus that display on your tv. Or over your home computer network via your web browser. Both methods give many options as you can see in the pic linked below. http://tysoes.com/amazon/DENON_Speaker.png

My system is also using Bose speakers in combo with my polk speakers with my surround sound reciever. But tying with a computer I don't know what will happen, I think it would be ok, but then again maybe it will explode too. ;)

That's what I did. I use one for two rear speakers, the other is for the other two rear speakers. No wire pulling under the floor over the floor! It works like a champ. Only negative is when I have a power flick, I have to turn the two remote boxes back on individually. I assume your sound system already has 7.1 capability, you just were using 5 speakers.

You can play sound from all speakers at any time, but will only be true surround sound if the device your playing from is capable.

All my speakers work, but the two left and right surround sound speakers don't do much unless I have a movie with surround sound on it, and if some sound effect occurs in the movie on the left or right. You can also turn up the speaker levels until you hear something, but then the surround sound effects will be too loud.
