One receiver and multiple sets of speakers?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My house has a set of 5.1 home theater speakers, and two pair of in-ceiling speakers: one pair in kitchen, one pair in master bedroom. I have a pioneer VSX-1016TXV receiver, which can take 7.1 home theater speakers. My problem is I want to connect those 3 sets of speakers to one receiver. What is the best way? I saw speaker selectors, but they are only for selecting multiple pairs of speakers. With one set of home theater, that makes the trouble. Any ideas? Thanks!

How about using the Zone 2 feature with a speaker selecter for the two pair of stereo speakers?

Thanks! Actually I found the zone 2 function in the manual just after I posted this thread. But for those two pair of speakers, I still need to pay a simple speaker selector, right?

You will need a speaker switch box of some type if you plan to only run 1 of the 2 pair of speakers at a time.  If you want to run them both then a speaker distribution hub is needed.  http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=182-820
