Hi-I had a pro installer put our system in who was familiar with this pioneer line-He had alot of trouble with this issue. Basically you have to have separate inputs for ZONE 2-then you have to switch to zone 2 on the controller. For some reason when I want to switch to zone 2 I have to hit the power button. Once you are on zone 2 you then choose your input source. This system was not very user friendly,,,,but it sounds good.

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

Yes you can. Actually if the source is a 2 way stereo ( R - L ), you'll only hear the two front speakers no matter you have configured a 7.1 speaker system.

Yes, you can do 5.1 as I currently do now. But the receiver can configure to run on 7.1 and even 7.2 speaker system.

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

Surround Back (Left and Right) can be assigned to a separate zone. So if you want a 5.1 and a 2.0 system, the answer is "Yes". If you want a 5.1 and a 2.1 playing different things, I'm not so sure.

That's what I did. I use one for two rear speakers, the other is for the other two rear speakers. No wire pulling under the floor over the floor! It works like a champ. Only negative is when I have a power flick, I have to turn the two remote boxes back on individually. I assume your sound system already has 7.1 capability, you just were using 5 speakers.

Andrew:>Here's the problem: the stupid Pioneer certainly has 7.1 OUTPUTS to the 7 speakers and the sub, but the INPUTS are only 5.1You can still use the 7.1 outputs to the 5.1 inputs; just don't use surround back left and surround back right.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

Yes you can. But to enable this you need to follow some steps: 1) Make sure that you have configured and enable Zone 2 on the setup 2) The source that you need to listen on the Zone 2 need to be connected using using analog cables (RCA). So if you want to watch you cable TV on the Main Output and listen to a CD from you DVD device on the Zone 2, this device need to have the analog cables also connected to the receiver input, HDMI audio cannot be routed to Zone 2. 3) Other option is to listen on Zone 2 the Onkyo Network (Pandora, DLNA, etc) or USB Device (MP3, iPod, etc). On my setup I have connected all the sources using both HDMI and Analog (RCA) cables, and I'm able to listen any source on the Zone 2 indenpendently of what I'm watching/listening on the Main 7.1 Output. Regards.

You can pick any input for your Zone 2 speakers while playing different content on the main zone. The only exemption I have found is with the Apple TV. For some reason the only way I can make the Apple TV to play on Zone 2 is by selecting the Party Mode option which play the Selected input at both Zones.

Ron, What I am trying to do is have these play at the same time as my zone 2 from my receiver. It alreasy has speakers wired to it and I was looking to hook it to them for the kitchen. Running wires to the kitchen isn't a help. Any thoughts?Thanks for the answer.

There are a couple options for zone 2 connections. There is an hdmi zone 2 output, if you want to output direct to a tv or separate reciever as zone 2. There are analog stereo outputs to go to a separate zone 2 power amp. And finally the surround back l/r speaker posts are assignable as stereo zone 2 outputs if you wish to power zone 2 speakers directly from the reciever and don't need to use those already for surround back speakers. Denon has the full manual online which describes all this in detail on their product page.

Yes, you can select where to send the audio to, zone 1 or zone 2 in ALL services!

If your receiver can handle 7.1 its just a simple matter of adding two additional speakers. I would recommend adding to floor speakers to your front channels and using the DefTech speakers as your center, side, and rear surrounds.I hope this helps.-Dex

You can use the output of zone 2 as the analog input of the main zone. Put anything you want on zone 2 (except airplay apparently) and change the main zone to the analog inputs. This is a trick we use with automation systems.
