A:AnswerYes. I have my receiver hooked up to my Smart TVs for headphone audio and external audio via an optical/RCA converter. It works well, especially if you have multiple Smart TVs in a room where you can switch the respective audio channel through each TV in that room for audio.
A:AnswerI do not use a line 1 or 2. I only use the Bluetooth with my phone to play SiriusXM music. Which by the way works great with my Bower and Wilkins speakers. These outdoor speakers are the best.
A:AnswerI would say totally.
The receiver and speakers are configured for 8 ohms impedance.
Use 14 or 16 gauge speaker wire and you'll have good sound.
A:AnswerBit confused by your question. There is no input on the front of the receiver, just a headphone jack, which is for headphones.
To connect to it, you need to connect your source (such as DVD or CD player) to one of the pairs of red and white RCA jacks on the back. This is analog audio in. Many current DVD players don't have analog stereo outputs, just digital. If you don't have red and white outputs on the back of your DVD player you can't connect to this receiver without some kind of an adaptor
A:AnswerI have done this when I was an installer: use an 4 ohm resistor in line with the positive output of each channel.
Makes a better match to the receiver, and lets the resistor (if in a metal package with cooling fins) take more of the heat.
If you can find one, a 4 ohm non-inductive resistor works a bit better. Most receivers never notice the metal packaged resistors...and if you open a speaker switcher with a protection circuit, they use metal resistors heatsinked to the metal case.
