Be sure that all speaker connections are the proper polarity. This means that the red wire goes to the '+' side of all connections. If your wires are not color coded, inspect them carefully for a small ridge running along one of the wires, or some other means of telling the wires apart. Check polarity on all connections. It's also common for Home Theater receivers to be shipped with the subwoofer output to be switched on-(rolling off the 5 surround channels to divert that bass to the sub output.)So go into the setup menu and tell it no sub-unless of course you have one.
EDIT: You have to connect the speakers to the bass module, and the bass module to the receiver, otherwise it will not work.
I am also looking for the same answer. I am planning to buy Bose Acoustimass 10 Series IV and Pioneer AV receiver model VSX 10120-K. I am checking if these speakers are compatible with Pioneer receiver.
The top of the line BOSE speakers are very good. Any of the Bose Acoustimass series speaker systems will work with a Panasonic Home Theater system.
Is it a Bose Acoustimass system? If so, buy at least 90-100 watts per channel receiver. Think if you also need a zone 2 for outdoor speakers, so then you can power both rooms independently. You wont be able to use a Bose Companion computer speaker system with a surround receiver.
The speakers and subwoofer plug into your receiver.
You need a receiver to control all the options in your home theater. The receiver is your main unit that will directly send signals to the speakers for their best performance!
It will, but you'll need some great speakers as well for your home theater.
Yes Polk Audio makes home theater speakers paired with an Onkyo receiver
In general a stereo receiver,a dvd player(or changer),speakers and perhaps a tv.
Multi-Zone in home theater receivers means that the receiver can send a second source signal to a separate audio system or speakers.
Lol Best Buy Home theater Level 1......lol
Audio out (line out) from the Home Theater to audio in (line in) on the Power Amp. If you use Preamp out on the Home Theater the Volume Control will control the volume of the Power Amp and Speakers.
You need a 5.1 Decoder and an amplifier to drive the speakers, most companies build these items into their RECEIVERS which comes with the switching you heed with most home theater systems.
