Wireless Outdoor Speakers

[jevans]

I recently bought a pair of wireless outdoor speakers. Problem I have is that I have to plug the transmitter into an outlet on my stereo. The only outlet I have to do that with is my headphone jack. Everything works fine, it's just that when I plug into the headphone jack I can't listen to the stereo indoors and outdoors at the same time. I know I can't be two places at once, but if I'm entertaining it would be nice to have music going in both places.

Is there another outlet or port I could use? It says use the audio out but I don't have another one on my stereo. It's actually my surround sound dvd/cd player. Is there a splitter I could use? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Would help if you have pictures of the part that connects to the stereo. I have never heard of a wireless transmitter that goes through the Headphone jack.

The audio out would be in the rear of your stereo and is a red and white plug representing the left and right channels of the output. If you have a way of plugging it through there... that would be your best option. Then you could play both indoor and outdoor speakers.

I thought all wireless speakers went through the speaker jacks anyway

What speakers did you get? We have a set from the Sharper Image.

I can connect it into either port. problem is, is that i'm using my dvd/cd player as my stereo. all of my jacks in the back are used for the hd on my tv. the only jack i have available is the headphones. i tried it through the audio out on my tv but then all i got was the tv through the outdoor speakers.

My buddy from the light and sound company I do work for is coming over to reload my computer tonight. He installs home systems and should have the answer, couple hours I'll get back..

Do you have preamplifier output for the main left and right on your receiver? This might be labled something like, front left and right. Is the receiver surround sound?

i don't have a separate pre amp but it is internal in the component. the whole setup is a sony surround sound dvd/cd stereo. that might be why i am limited to the audio out jacks on the back.
