Is one of its 12 volume steps "off"? I want to be able to completely turn OFF my outdoor speakers while running another pair indoors ON.

It doesn't have 12 clicks as you turn the knob. It does turn totally off and turns easily from off to max

You can choose just one sound to play continuously- or set an automatic turn off. I LOVE the thing- it's comes with us out of town as well :)

This only allows you to turn them on and off. So you can have speakers in different areas like I have 3 sets of speakers. One in my house, one in my garage and one on my deck. At night I turn the ones in the house off and sit on my deck listening to music. But that is it.

We also have external speakers and, to my knowledge, we did not turn off the TV's speakers. Sometimes I turn on only the TV, just to check the weather, andthe speakers are definitely working. We notice no conflict between our additional speakers in the surround sound system and the Tv speakers.

The "Tape Out" RCA connector on the back of the unit IS active at the same time as the speakers. I just checked on mine. Headphones connected to the front do shut off the speakers.

I've never had a problem turning mine off. It goes a long time with the battery charge on the computer. Audiophile Ann

Yes, you have the option of playing one, two, three, or four sets of speakers (labeled A, B, C, AND D). I wired the speaker selector to toggle sound between the living room and the outside patio. It's nice to be able to do both at the same time if needed. I hope this answers your question

Thanks for your question. You could run two pair of outdoor speakers off of an external amplifier that would hook up to one of the zone line outputs. If you run the outside off of unused speaker outputs, then I would not play two pair of outdoor speakers very loudly when playing them simultaneously. This is a fantastic sounding receiver.

This unit is designed to turn on our off speakers that are in different rooms or areas of your home. I have a set in my bedroom and some outside speakers. You have to run errors from the receiver to the box and then to the speakers. Then you can choose what speakers you want on or off at any given time. Of course, you have to have a receiver that has the power to run the extra speakers.

You can actually use a speaker selector to do it correctly. That makes all 4 of your speakers a zone in one room without losing power to the speakers. The pig tail method drains power so the volume would suffer probably...depends on the aggregate load of all your speakers.

Turn the volume all the way down in every device in the chain. I know it's a tube thing to pop every time you turn it on and in some cases turning off too.

No there is no way to turn it off. Unless you tried to pull out the speaker. Which I'm sure would void any warranty, I'm not sure how hard that would be either.

The ones I have are good volume wise. I usually turn the knob so that its half way up. Really don't need to turn it up any more than that. I ALSO have it set up so that my duet is set to the mono position whenever I use them.

There's a function in the drum unit called LOCAL on/off. On the LED it says LCL. That means that the local sound (speakers) are turned off. You should find it in your manual under LOCAL ON/OFF.

OK..months later, I finally got my two outside speakers working. I was given the right advice but did not understand a few things... specifically that I did not have to fool around with Speaker Pattern. The menu progression using the remote is as follows: Amp Menu>Speaker>SB Assign>Spk B>Return/Exit. Then on the front left of the Tuner you press the Speakerbutton until SP B lights up........When finished I think you have to got back to the AMP Menu and do Speaker>SB Assign>Off>Return/Exit

You know . Im actually only running 4 speakers with this . I did switch the impedance to 4 . And I think I does sound a lot better . "Not overload" . I bought it so I can hook up 8 more so total of 12 speakers . One time for some reason when I first set it up . If I would crank up the volume the speakers would sound horrible and the zone selector kept turning off . I couldn't figure out why . But since then it hasn't done it anymore . Sorry I'm lot very technical I hope this helps
