A:AnswerYou can use any of the four inputs you choose, being that only one is labeled and that is CD. I use Line 1 for tv, 2 for auxiliary (your computer out), three for CD burner playback, and CD is the fourth input.
A:AnswerNo specific phono output. You will need a turntable with amp (Audio-technica) or seperate attachable amp. CD input supplied. Line 3 has input/output supply usable for tape deck.
A:AnswerYes you can. Remember that ohm ratings for speakers are often misleading and that the actual ohm load will vary depending on the frequency. Some manufacturers will use an 8 ohm tweeter with a 4 ohm woofer and rate it as "6 ohm nominal" when this is really a base 4 ohm load. I digress, yes this will work great for your 6 ohm outdoor speakers :) Enjoy!
A:AnswerFor distance less than 10 feet, 16 Guage wire is appropriate, if your running wire at longer distance up to 50 feet, you need a 14 guage wire, and use 12 Guage wire for distances upto 100 feet. Hope that helps.
A:AnswerYes. In addition to the CD, you can attach up to three additional media, such as a cassette player, mp3 and a turntable. It can also play through Bluetooth.
A:AnswerShort answer is Yes, since the Video from your source (cable, satellite, or streaming) does Not pass through this Audio receiver it only produces your sound to speakers. One easy way is to connect your TV’s Audio Out to this Audio Receiver, then program your TV remote to control The volume from this receiver. Mine works great.
A:AnswerProbably NOT. I have found that it has 35 foot range with no issues 35 to 50 is spotty at best. There are receivers that will do what you want to do.
A:AnswerYes you need a receiver with a monoraul subwoofer speaker output. This will filter low pass signals only to your uni-directional bass source, rendering your floor standing speakers less necessary being that all of your lowest frequency signals are now sent to the subwoofer rather than the large diameter cones of your floorstanding speakers. Now all you need are some small shelf speakers unless you really feel a home theatre surround system is imparitive in which circumstance you would want a couple satellites and a center channel as well.
