Can you play digital sources in zones 2/3 or are they analog only like TX-NR727? What about internet radio in zones 2/3?

Hello J. Burke; like the TX-NR 727- digital audio sources (e.g HDMI and digital optical/ digital coaxial) are not supported for ZONES 2/3 broadcasting. The only audio sources supported for ZONE 2/3 broadcasting are - AM/FM radio, NET sources (Sirius, Pandora, TuneIn, etc.), USB, Bluetooth, and of course RCA Analog audio connections.

Yes it is digital. You update the unit on your computer before you use it the first time, put in your zip code, and it will find all the channels you want to listen to in your area. You can also purchase separate equipment that will continually locate your position as you travel and automatically update the frequencies for the area you are in. I like my unit, but keep in mind Uniden will try and squeeze every penny they possibly can out of you. Their customer loyalty is poor.

Hello Las Vegas; the TX-NR 636 will only support analog audio connections for ZONE 2 broadcasting; along with USB, NET, AM/FM radio, and Bluetooth support for ZONE 2 playback. We also would like to inform you that we do provide 24 hour Product Support at (800) 229-1687 and also have a FAQ and Product Support forum as well at forums@onkyousa.com to better assist you as well. We thank you for your posting and also for choosing Onkyo.

Zone 2 allows you to play from a different source than Zone 1. You can have Zone 1 playing a movie on 7.2 Surround while Zone 2 can be listening to the Radio or playing from other sources (some limitations apply, so you need to read the User Manual for details). Party Mode is used to listen to the same source on both Zone 1 and 2 at the same time. Typical use would be listening to Radio or internet on all speakers when you have a party at home (hence the name "Party Mode").

Thanks for your question. This is not a zone-free player. It is a wonderful player.

Dear Frank,Thanks for your inquiry. Most surround receivers no longer refer to second zone as "B"--they call it Zone 2. The AVR-S900 can either be configured to play 7.2 in one room, or 5.2 in the main room and use the 2 additional amplifier channels to power the zone 2 speakers. Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

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.

Thanks for your inquiry. The NR1504 is not designed to have a Zone 1 and Zone 2 speaker setup. Though the unit's bigger sibling, the NR1604, is designed to have that capability. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I decided not using zones 2 and 3 since it only works with RCA cables. I use digital cables for better sound quality. And surrounds in main zone area work in all modes except if you select 2 speakers. Good luck

Yes, with digital transmission reception will be either great or non-existent. This could be due to cable loss if the run is too long and a line amp may be required. Just my two cents.

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.

My experience with cheap digital radios (and this is not an expensive such) is that they're often about 0.1 MHz off in one direction or another, so (to use your example) 92.3 or 92.1 would probably serve to get 92.2 unless there were another station very close to the better choice. And, for what it's worth, the Grundig/Eton digital radio I've bought had the 0.1MHz mesh you appear to want, though this is far from a guaranty. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

There is support for zone 2 but airplay to 2 different zones will require an airport express or Apple TV if you want to listen to different music at the same time

According to the manual on pg 61 and pg62 you can play the same input source, analog or digital in zone A and Zone B. It does not specifically say analog only as it has in the past. It does make it sound like it has to be the same input source in both areas.

Yes, you can. What you cannot do is put different network sources on each zone. You can have broadcast radio in zone 1 and Pandora in zone 2 or viceversa. But you can't have Internet radio in zone 1 and Pandora in zone 2 at the same time, for example.

Dear TriplsJs15,Thanks for your inquiry. The Zone 2 in the AVR-S900W can play a separate source from the main source. There are no preouts on this receiver to use a separate amplifier for zone 2. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo
