iwillwalk Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 YO I have a yamaha 995 and I am using cornwalls for rear surrounds. Can I also hook them up to the B channel on the yamaha that way I can play A&B for music and just A for movies? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 Is the Yamaha 995 a home theater receiver? If yes, you would not want to hook the rear speakers to B. If its a stereo receiver you could hook them up to B but then they wouldn't be rear speakers they would receive the same signal as the front speakers.

decibel man Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 You will probably have to either look in your owners' manual or call yammy. If the amplifier portion that powers the fronts can handle the load than you should be okay, providing you don't leave the speaker wires connected to both the surrounds and the front B. If you are only running one wire than that won't be a problem, just change the wire at the back of the receiver and you are disco. Good luck and happy listening!

Guest BobG Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 I believe you are asking if you can hook your rear speakers to BOTH the "rear" and "B speakers" connections on your receiver at the SAME TIME. Do NOT do this as when you are playing B Speakers, it is feeding back into the output of the "rear" speaker connections. This is likely to damage the receiver. If you had a means of disconnecting the rear outputs when you were using B speakers and vice versa, AND always remembered to do this, it would be OK, but you do not have that capability in the receiver.

iwillwalk Posted April 15, 2001 Author Share Posted April 15, 2001 THANKS, that is the info I needed. I will have to wait to get a receiver that has a 5 channel stereo feature, until then the cornwalls will stay as surrounds only.
