    Mixing two inputs with one output

    The Behringer, and I believe the Rolls, are not stereo mixers. Something like this would work - You would need a bunch of adapters, or special cables. It's a bit pricey for what you are wanting...

    How to place 2.0 speakers for the best effect?

    Assuming that your listening position is on the bed, my thought is to put one speaker on the shelf above or next to the yellow trunk, and the other on the bookshelf the other side of the door. Putting them the same height would be ideal but at that distance, even a couple of feet would be...

    Multiple Amps and Multiple Speaker Sets

    I just rrealized that we have not answered your last question -- No, you cannot connect a speaker to two amps simultaneously, except in the special case of bridging. Bridging is connecting identical amps (usually the left and right of a stereo amp) with a special connection to double (more or...

    Can I use the pioneer cld-s201 to power a sub

    From what pictures I can find, this unit has a Mono audio output, which could be used to drive a powered subwoofer, or a subwoofer with a separate amplifier.

    I Have A Projector

    Check to see if your projector might split off the audio for you. It may have audio outputs which can be connected to the receiver.

    Multiple Amps and Multiple Speaker Sets

    In addition to Bi-amping, multiple amplifers can be used for surround systems and zoning. Suppound sound can utilize as many as 8 channels of amplification, needing multiple discrete amplifiers. Some audiophiles prefer to use 'monoblock' amplifiers, where a separate unit is used for each...

    No video or audio with HDMI from laptop to home theatre

    Does the computer recognize the monitor? Go to Start => Control Panel => Display Does it show a second device connected? If so, you might just have to enable it by selecting "extend to this display". If not it most likely is that the equipment can't agree on the format of the signal. The HT...

    $110 tablet budget? And a few questions about tablets.

    From looking at the specs, I'd say that it is not quite up to a desktop (311MHz graphics clock) in speed but would have similar function. Thie Excite Go has an Atom processor, which has on-chip graphics, making it a laptop class processor, though it is running the x86 version of Android, rather...

    Is there a Product for accepting 2 HDMI inputs that creates split screen output?

    I'm afraid you'd be looking at a production video editor, which may still not give you what you want. This is closest I could find. For this, just buy another TV. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/879286-REG/Avenview_dvi_splitpro_2_Dual_Screen_Video_Processor.html
