Hi everyone. I’m new here and know hardly anything about home theatres, the electronics, or the speakers. My problem is that I need to hook up 4 outdoor speakers somehow to the CD player that is inside my house part of my home theatre but when I look at my amp/receiver I don’t have enough places to hook up the speakers without splitting the connections.
My home theatre right now consists of:
ELECTRONICS:
1. DVD Player - Sony DVP-S7700
2. VCR - Sony SLV-999HF
3. CD player - Sony CDP-CX400
4. Receiver/Amp - Sony STR-V444ES
5. Power Centre - Monster Power - HTS 5000
6. Satellite - Bell Express Vue
7. Satellite - DirecTV
8. TV - Sony KP-65XBR10W
SPEAKERS:
Centre - Boston Lynnfield VR Series - VR920
Front Left/Right - Paradigm Reference Series - OM-520
Rear Left/Right - Boston Designer Series - 336pt (in wall)
Sub - Paradigm - can’t remember model
All of the above stuff is in one room and I am looking to be able to connect 4 more speakers that would be outside to the same equipment so that if I wanted to I could play the same CD in and outside at the same time. Any help of what I need to make this work would be helpful.

Buy a 2nd receiver to run the outside speakers
Good luck........
BTW, you dont want to mess with splitting connections buy plugging multiple speakers into the same port.
OUch..... |

It depends on the reciever. If anything, you're looking at either replacing your main receiver with one that can do the job, or running two separate systems.

Can I not just get a pre-amp or something like that? Can't I hook a pre-amp into my current amp/reciever to power the new speakers and somehow tie it in with all my other equipment? |
