Can Zone 2 and 7.1 setup in the main room be used simultaneously? I currently have an older model receiver that allows for only one or the other.

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

James, I only run 7.2 and not the zone 2.If I am not mistaken you can run 7.2 and zone 2 and even a zone 3 simultaneously. However if you decide to go with the dolby atmos set up you would be running 5.2.2 with this receiver, not the 7.2 that the receiver is labeled. I am on the fence to about getting onkyo dolby atmos speakers to get the height and downward sounds and don't want to give up the 7.2 setup. However when I purchased the 737 it was upgradeable to the atmos I did my upgrade this week and even with the same speaker setup I hear better separation and location of sounds with the updated processor.

You can't use 2 kits in the same room. In your case you need to purchase the Model 400 transmitter and Model 480 wireless receivers.

The Onkyo 616 does have both Zone 2 and Zone 3 line outs. I have never tried to incorporate a Zone 2 into my home, but I would suspect it might omit some features but be fine for basic playback. Some reviews online indicate that the setup could be a bit challenging. You might download the manual for the 616 and peruse the procedure to see if you want to give it a try.

I know you can't send a digital sourced signal to zone 2 or three with the onkyo, don't know about the Denon. I have the Onkyo after looking at the Denon and could't justify the price difference since I didn't need internet radio. I'm really happy, I have no need of zone 2 or 3.

I just researches this for you and it does support dual zoning.. here is the link I found for you...http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/DVD-Receivers/AVH-X8500BHS

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

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

Yes, that's how it normally operates. I do not think you can have more than 1 zone on at a time. It's a great unit.

I don't know what you mean by zones. I would not place this unit next to a receiver. Because it's going to eliminate every station. I was suggest at least having at 12 feet away from any receiver

Do you mean like having audio in the living room, and a separate amplified output in the kitchen? NO, it only has one zone. I have it installed at the TV room, where I've installed 8 speakers (2 front, 2 sides, 2 back, 1 central, 1 subwoofer). Some receivers may take the 2 back speakers for a second zone when playing 5.1 and lower audio streams, this one in particular doesn't have that feature.It does have a composite video out (Video + R/L Audio) where you can tap the low level audio stream and input it to an external amplifier, but you won't have control over the content, it will play the same audio as in the main room.

It is 2 zone system, but I haven't tried to use zone 2 yet. You could add a swith/splitter to Zone2 so you can split Zone 2 in two ways

no it cannotthe a/b switch is a channel not an independent zone you would need to upgrade to a multi zone receiver

Yes. Start the app, select the receiver, the 'zone' button will be in the lower left corner. Select it then select 'Zone 2'.

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 Cohen World Wide Stereo

The Model V473 Receiver does not. The Model V573 Receiver has two zones, Zone A and Zone B. Zone B mixes the multichannel down to two channels which can be connected to two speakers in another room and controlled separately, but it is to speakers, not another amp.
