Does this receiver have 2 zones?

No. Just one zone and one HDMI OUT port. You can find more details about Yamaha RX-475. That is the model of the receiver.

On some of the settings you could attempt to simulate 2 zones (without the benefit of separate volume controls) but is basically a 5.1 system

I am pretty novice when it comes to audio technology. We had our system installed. I can't really tell you if it has two zones as I don't know what that means. The receiver has multiple channels which we programmed for tv, dvr, etc. The sound is really amazing. We are very satisfied. Hope this helps. Patti K

Yes. Each zone is controlled by a source. If you have 3 different music sources than each one will support one zone. Example: zone 1 - radio, zone 2 - pandora, zone 3 - CD player

No it has 2 receivers but only one button if you need front and back door you would need to buy two of them

You will want a receiver with multi-zones, some will allow both to work off the main receiver and others require a separate amplifier for the second zone, all depends on how much you want to spend, found an article that does a pretty good job of walking you thru the pros and cons. Link: http://hometheater.about.com/od/audiocomponents/a/multizoneinfo.htm Amazon has a 2 zone receiver, but it is a bit pricey, read the specs to make sure it is what you want.

Hello and thanx for your reply. Yes, Zone 2 is active. I just need to know what kind of connections for audio from DirecTV receiver to Onkyo receiver. What I have tried hasn't worked. I know it is analog sound only out of Zone 2. Going to contact Onkyo and see if I have any luck.

I believe zone 2 will take any audio source from the receiver... However, HDMI Out 2 will only mirror what is on HDMI Out 1. It will not let you output two separate video streams. Hope that helps!

I have this unit for a few years, and I am very happy with it. It is not a dual zone system. Only one indoor unit.

It works pretty well. I haven't noticed any delay yet - in my case, zone 2 speakers are about 4 meters away from zone 1 and not in same room. I've been using this receiver since may last year.

ANY info or input on properly setting up ZONE 2 on any Onkyo receiver would be helpful. I cannot get sound from my outdoor speakers. Volume control on receiver when in Zone 2 reads 00 and will not adjust. HELP!

I am running two rears off of one of these systems and it has worked really well. Looking at wireless receiver for the speaker system it only has hookups for two speakers...I guess you could double up and run four speakers but they would all just be the rears...if you wanted separate zones you would probably have to have more than one system...I don't know if they would interfere with each other of both systems were run from the same receiver. Hope this helps.

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>System Setup>Other Setup>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.

You can power on the remote zones but the receiver does not turn on via the network for the main zone. Further if main zone is off zones 2&3 do not respond.

I didn't know there was a difference until I received this request. I hear it's mostly concerning "dual band" capabilities. Just another receiver for a different room so far.

Dear E. Thank you for your inquiry. It is possible to stream wireless audio into Zone 2. The only inputs that will not play through Zone 2 are those connected to the receiver only with HDMI or Digital audio cables(coax digital, optical). Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

All RCA Component Zone 2 Hookups HDMI isn't available in Zone 2 with this model You'll have to upgrade to the 9.2 NX3010 ONKYO Reciever

Not that I have found...it is very weak on this point and the ONLY saving grace is one can get several receivers for different rooms.

I don't know for sure what you mean by zones, but you just find a frequency that is quiet and set both the unit and your receiver on same frequency and you shouldn't have a problem. You can change the frequency anytime you want, you just have to find a quiet location on your receive'rs FM dial and set the Unit at same frequency.
