Can this unit play HDMI sources on Zone 2, or only analog sources?

One of the HDMI outputs is labeled "Zone 2" and can be used to send audio and video to a second zone, but doesn't support ARC.

Zone 2 is HDMI output only. Digital video and audio in one . Merry Christmas

Yes, it does play HDMI sources in Zone 2. we have it set up that way at our house and it works great.

No. Component is analog and hdmi is digital. If there is such a cable it is a scam.

Yes, you can use just Zone 2 and keep Zone 1 off. I just tried this before answering your question. Not sure what you are referring to re analog. However, Optical/coaxial digital and HDMI audio sources are not output to Zone 2. You cannot output any video signal to Zone 2. You can select the following input sources for Zone 2: Analog audio input (AV 5-6, Audio 1-2); Tuner (FM/AM radio); USB (including iPod/iPhone); Server; Airplay; Internet Radio (Pandora, Sirius, Internet Radio, etc.). There are some restrictions about playing different sources in Zone 1 & Zone 2. For example, Airplay is available in Zone 2 only when Airplay playback is ongoing in Zone 1. If your laptop is used as a server, you can play music to Zone 2. (I have not been able to get Server to completely work. I just need to spend more time looking into this to see what the laptop setup has to be to make this function work.) I have a standalone CD player and I hooked it up to AV-5 so I could hear it in Zone 2. To make everything work with this receiver, you do have to pay attention to how you hook things up - especially where Zone 2 is concerned. This is not a big deal but it does require your attention. I also use the Yamaha app on my Android tablet and I find this very useful for controlling Zone 2 when I am on my patio. Hope I've been somewhat helpful.

No this works the other way around. Look for an HDMI - AV converter...(make sure it has DHCP support)

NOTE: ZONE 2 is an ANALOG only source- With all of our products that have a Zone 2 or more features they use only analog connections (RED &WHITE) so you need to hook up an analog connection from the source into the back of the receiver into the input that you are using. The digital connection will remain in the main room and the analog will be redirected to Zone2 or the other Zone outputs. So basically- any input connected to the receiver already using HDMI will also need a RCA Composite audio (red and white) cables into the SAME input (i.e HDMI&gt; CBL/ SAT and RCA AUDIO cables&gt; CBL/SAT). Now when you press the specific input for ZONE 2- the analog audio source will broadcast the audio and the digital audio will be broadcasted into the main room.

I'm able to get zone 2 audio by setting inet radio as the source. From there I can access inet radio, pandora etc. without running separate analog audio cables

If you have HDMI source connected, then RCA will have 2 channel sound, but you may have to set switch on unit to 2 channel

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, if you come out of the receiver with hdmi into the unit (you must set your receiver to pass the audio to the TV under the hdmi settings) then it will give you an analog stream for your TV ears. If your receiver cannot output the hdmi audio along with the video, then you can insert it between the source you want and the receiver (the downside to this scenario is you only get the option of that one source, as opposed to all the sources connected to your receiver with the first option)

Probably yes, I use an old "URC" universal remote to control both the (remote) HDMI source as well as the (local) HDMI receiver, just works.

Zone 2 HD works for me without any problem. Even I've tried working on MAIN and Zone 2HD at once with different devices in each zone and no problem. Check where you have placed the reciver as it can be in a very closed which makes it warm and off

It switches HDMI cables/signals; so it shouldn't matter what the source of the cable or signal is. I have had no problems with mine.

Only if your TV has line-level analog audio outputs. If your TV has digital outputs only, do not go with this unit.

It Outputs on both analog & Digital, but only accepts one input.. So you could output component & HDMI if you really wanted to, but you can not have more then one input type at a time.

Zone 2 (audio 2-channel stereo) is useless. It can only pass through analog input sources (e.g. NOT HDMI, because why would you want audio with that HDMI picture on zone 2?) Also it has 2 HDMI outputs, but if you select to pass audio out through HDMI (because Zone 2 audio isn't support on HDMI input) then your zone 1 becomes a 2-channel stereo (not 5.1). There are so many limitations and caveats on use of zone 2, you might as well forget it exists.

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

Yes you can, one HDMI input is a throughput the other one the unit has to be on
