Is this a 2 zone Receiver
811210
Do you mean like having audio in the living room, and a separate amplified output in the kitchen? NO, it only has one zone. I have it installed at the TV room, where I've installed 8 speakers (2 front, 2 sides, 2 back, 1 central, 1 subwoofer). Some receivers may take the 2 back speakers for a second zone when playing 5.1 and lower audio streams, this one in particular doesn't have that feature.It does have a composite video out (Video + R/L Audio) where you can tap the low level audio stream and input it to an external amplifier, but you won't have control over the content, it will play the same audio as in the main room.

Yes but the receiver has HDMI recognition problems, The Yamaha is much better.

I don't have this issue. However before you think something is wrong with your receiver be sure you go into the Receiver's Home Menu&gt;System Setup&gt;Other Setup&gt;Auto Power Down. Check and be sure that Zone 2 doesn't have it powering down after 30 min. If this feature is off or is set to power down after an hour or more then you might have an issue. Good Luck.

Yes and no.You can do that but you have to select the zone 2 source to match the source playing on zone 1.So not as conveinant but can be done

Yes. There is a HDZONE setting that will output the same or different source from the primary source. It is a HDMI output. I have not tried to provide power to a second set of speakers from the receiver along with the HDZONE as I am just using a TV in the other room. This may be possible but I have nto had the need to try. I do use the line level outputs to a separate amp for ZONE 2 which we use for 10 sets of stereo built in speakers around the house. ZONE 2 and HDZONE share the second source so they are not independent.

If you do airplay, it won't work. Zone 2 airplay only works while zone 1 also does airplay. Learned the hard way. Having to send it back.

I bought one 2 years ago it worked for 6months. Only one zone would work! I called for replacement the company was not willing to do anything except give me one for 20.00 off!

You can run zone 1 and 2 at the same time. It's a 9,2 receiver so I guess nine speakers. Two subwoofers and two zone 2 speakers at the maximum. But many other options would be possible.

My husband has connected our external TV speakers to the unit and turned off the TV speakers. He said it was not very user friendly, but with perseverance it can be done. Sorry, I don't know what zone 2 is.

I don't know what you mean by zones. I would not place this unit next to a receiver. Because it's going to eliminate every station. I was suggest at least having at 12 feet away from any receiver

Hey aMan-It is not. Your receiver operates on a a 303.875 MHz frequency and this remote operates on 300 MHz. If you are handy I can walk you through installing an updated receiver and which you remotes you need.Thanks...Matty

It has 3 zones and 2nd and 3rd zone are both pre-amped out. Hope this is helpful!

I don't have zone 2 hooked up, but there does not seem to be any restriction on what sources you can play in zone 2. The manual is online at the Denon site, and I just checked my copy and it doesn't provide any caveats about sources you can use in zone 2.

I assume you are referring to zone 2. I have also encountered some limitations regarding what can passed through. There is some information (complaints) in some of the feedback about this unit with some unhappy customers. I limit what can be played in zone two to either internet radio (via the receiver)or music from my Sony TV with an Ethernet connection which is connected to the receiver via HDMI. I was unable to pass through from one source but I cannot recall what it was. The manual is of limited use and the help desk people from onkyo are also uninformed. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

This model does not have a powered zone 2. Look at the 7400 or higher system for that added functionality. Not sure if they provide for a separate source for the second zone or not, so research carefully prior to your purchase...best of luck on what ever system you purchase.

Yes it does. Only zone one though but if you have the marantz app for your phone, you can turn on zone two from there.
