Switch speakers? Will this work?

I tried it when initially setting up my system and it worked. I had the two long front speakers hooked up as the back and the sound was fine. I've since changed it back as I found two older speaker stands for the designated back speakers.

Yes, it will work fine on your receiver. You would connect the inputs of the speaker switch to the left and right FRONT speaker jacks on the receiver, then connect your main surround speakers to the Speakers 1 jacks. The Speakers 2, 3 and 4 pairs of jacks can support speakers outside or in other rooms. Note that when you run speakers in other areas, it would be best to switch your receiver's playback mode to TWO CHANNEL STEREO, which will turn off the center and surround channels.

Hit the pro-logic button to the right of the zero button. It'll switch between 2 and 5 speakers.

this unit is not a speaker switching device. it is made for switching between a/v components or audio components. if you wanted to use one of the four outputs for headphones , your headset would have to be converted to red and white rca cables. radio shack sells this convertor plug. you can only use one output at a time.

No switch. These are passive speakers, meaning there are no active components inside. You will need an external monitor amplifier to use them. Great speakers, sounds fantastic.

Yes, if that is all you hook up, that is all it will switch. But be aware, it cannot do dual outputs, just switch between single outputs if that was even in your thoughts.

If the output is stereo and the devices have a 3.5mm input and output port for sound then it should work. Mashmal stated the standard red and white stereo sound from a composite cable. While I do not disagree that if you have composite and not 3.5mm cables for the sound (which is likely in most home television setups) that a composite switch would work better, but I do disagree that you convert it to 3.5mm unless you just have to. Conversion can degrade sound quality. Also, if your conversion method is not the best quality you might see some bad results as well.

There's a switch on the back, switch it to internal speakers. Seems like you have it on "line-in" Hope this works

Audio out on any system will work. You may need a spliter. One into two. Pretty cool.

As long as your external speakers have regular a/v components then that should work. You're speakers should have the Red/White inputs.

The switch is designed for one a source and two devices to feed the source. This switch will allow you to connect a CD player, MP3 player, PC headset 3.5mm cable, et cetera for stereo sound into the back on the switch and have your headphones and speakers on sides A and B to switch between the output of sound. Meaning no sound out of the B port if A is selected or vise versa so only one sound output to a single device. Edit: Though you might be able to use a Y splitter cable to produce what your are wanting. Two sources into one output upon switching. However, the problem with using a Y splitter with two sources is usually one source overpowers the other and the other is dampened out by the other. Ultimately making the Y split useless even when two sources are not used at the same time.

Hi Diego!!,,thanks for the question,,,im gonna save you some money here....the answer,,,is yes,,,,it will work,,,but my advice to you is,,,DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!!!!,,it is not compatible with any other component,,,you cant change speakers,,,you cant use any other wireing ,,,,it is very cheaply made,,,and this company,,Phillips,,should be ashamed of selling this junk,,,,my advice to you is,,,buy a stereo reciever for your TV even the cheapest one you find here is better than this unit,,,i bought this system with the intention of using my home speakers i already have ,,,with this unit,,it is not possible bcuz,,,thewireing is fixed,,,,to the speakers,,(they cannot be switched),,the sub woofer is a joke,,its just junk,,,it does look ok,,and it will work,,but ,,its just noit worth it ,,and i regret wasting money on this unit!!!

All the switch will do is split your left and right stereo channels. You usually would hook it up to main speaker out puts B or zone 2 of a stereo as it needs to have a "stereo signal" not a surround sound signal.

Yes, switching between them can easily be done by simply hitting the answer button. If you turn something on one system, while listening to the other, it will automatically switch over to the system you just turned on if it is playing something with sound.

Yes it will, I have the same setup and as long as everything like the speakers work it should work awesome!

This device can handle six devices at a signal level so, provided that your speakers are not passive ones but have a built in amplifier it will be suitable for you. Every switch is a push to on so remember to have only two switches pushed at same time: the one of the source you want to listen to and the one of the speakers. If you push a 3rd switch of a connected source the input impedance will be lowered resulting in a lower listening level and distortion. If you will keep in mind this, this product will perfect for you.

No, I haven't quite figured out how to do that. I can switch from the sound bar speakers to to the TV speakers but I don't know how to have them both on at the same time.
