Hooking up outdoor speakers but need more power/inputs

Hi everyone. I'm new here and know hardly anything about home theatres, the electronics, or the speakers. My problem is that I need to hook up 4 outdoor speakers somehow to the CD player that is inside my house part of my home theatre but when I look at my amp/receiver I don't have enough places to hook up the speakers without splitting the connections.
My home theatre right now consists of: ELECTRONICS: 1. DVD Player - Sony DVP-S7700 2. VCR - Sony SLV-999HF 3. CD player - Sony CDP-CX400 4. Receiver/Amp - Sony STR-V444ES 5. Power Centre - Monster Power - HTS 5000 6. Satellite - Bell Express Vue 7. Satellite - DirecTV 8. TV - Sony KP-65XBR10W SPEAKERS: Centre - Boston Lynnfield VR Series - VR920 Front Left/Right - Paradigm Reference Series - OM-520 Rear Left/Right - Boston Designer Series - 336pt (in wall) Sub - Paradigm - can't remember model
All of the above stuff is in one room and I am looking to be able to connect 4 more speakers that would be outside to the same equipment so that if I wanted to I could play the same CD in and outside at the same time. Any help of what I need to make this work would be helpful.
It depends on the reciever. If anything, you're looking at either replacing your main receiver with one that can do the job, or running two separate systems.

Can I not just get a pre-amp or something like that? Can't I hook a pre-amp into my current amp/reciever to power the new speakers and somehow tie it in with all my other equipment?
