Right now everything I have is controlled from my iPad remote app but I cant firgure out how to hook my surround system to it. Can you buy wireless adapters for it. If there is another remote or something I will buy it I just dont want to get a new system but this one is just fine.

No, you need to power the speakers, they do make rca to wireless transmitters (http://www.meritline.com/wireless-rca-video-audio-transmitter-receiver-2w—p-70241.aspx?source=fghdac) but that won’t work unless your rear speakers have an integrated amp. You could buy a separate amp for the rears and then use some form of wireless transmitter but in the end it’d cost more than buying a new home theater system with wireless surround speakers.

Sorry, just being honest.

Try running speaker wire up through the ceiling or wall or run it along the wall the rears. Use paintable speaker wire and you could almost make the wires invisible: http://www.summitsource.com/product_info.php?ref=1&products_id=4765

Best of luck!

Why does my Yamaha Surround Sound System flash PROTECT then shut off?

Question by *Hope*: Why does my Yamaha Surround Sound System flash PROTECT then shut off?
I have a Yamaha Surround system in my living room and sometimes when we are playing music with an ipod plugged in and or just watching a movie, it flashes PROTECT on the screen and then shuts off.
It is awfully annoying and we would like it to go back to normal. It never used to do this.
Any ideas of how I can stop this annoying thing?

Best answer:

Answer by Nash S
when it flashes PROTECT it means that exposed wires are touching somewhere. try making shure that the speaker wire is not exposed and touching.
