Yes, it's not a problem. I have been using this amplifier for a few months. The only pity is that it switches off automatically after about 3 hours in operation. Unfortunately, this function cannot be switched off, which is quite annoying.

No, you don't need a 1 RCA to 2 RCA cable. The A-S501 has a dedicated subwoofer output that is specially designed for active subwoofers. This output is monophonic and optimally transmits the bass management signal to your subwoofer.
If your subwoofer has two RCA inputs (red and white), you can simply connect a standard RCA cable from the subwoofer output of the A-S501 to one of the two inputs of your subwoofer. Most active subwoofers accept a monophonic signal on one of the two inputs. Alternatively, you could use a Y-cable to distribute the signal to both inputs, but this is not normally necessary.

The output to the subwoofer is an RCA connection. It is a single mono RCA pre-out for the subwoofer.

I use the amplifier for a Thorens TD 165 turntable without any other preamplifier.

First check whether your DeCon speaker has a line-in (3.5 mm jack). If so, you can connect it to the record-out of the "Yamaha A-S501" via a "2xChinch - 3.5 Jack" cable. This way you can transfer music from the Yamaha receiver to the Geneva DeCon.
A possible cable would be this one: Primewire Audio Cable / 2x RCA to 3.5mm (1 m, Medium, RCA, 3.5mm Jack (AUX))
To connect the whole thing the other way round, i.e. to transfer music from the DeCon speaker to the Yamaha receiver, I only see the possibility of working with a Bluetooth receiver.
A possible model that can be connected to the CD-In of the receiver via Chinch would be the following: Logitech Bluetooth Audio Receiver (Receiver)
The connections mentioned should work at least in theory, but they do not necessarily support the audio quality.
Hello Peter
The KB43 has a stereo output (cinch) with which you can connect to the A-S501 - to an IN connection - i.e. AUX. If necessary, carefully try out which input sounds best - i.e. only with very low volume. The output of the KB will have a constant level.

Hi Vortrex, yes, this is absolutely possible, if your TV has an optical output of course. Please also note that the amplifier cannot transmit video signals, you would have to connect this directly to the TV via HDMI. In addition, only stereo is audible here, so if you want a home cinema with surround, I would recommend an AV receiver. If stereo meets your needs, the A-S501 is the best choice. Kind regards Fabio
