can I connect the 2nd zone output from my receiver(Denon x1000) into this to feed to rest of my house? Do I need to add an amp in between the two?

The unit can handle input from 2 amplifiers or receivers and direct it to up to 4 pairs of speakers. You can also input 2 different outputs from one receiver (such as front versus surround output) and thereby select whether or not a specific pair of speakers will function as front speakers or surround (rear or other) speakers in a given system.

i have the same situation and AV 9040txh, i have 2 rooms with 4 y 2 speaker, and think with multizone could control vol of the 2 speakers room, with my old ONKYO with multisource i can operate separately each rooms speakers. but no with the 9040txh !!! Why ???

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. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Pioneer dealer.

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.

Yes using a splitter. use the input as an output. I also have two amplifiers tied in series with two hd antennas and one uhf-vhf antenna feeding the amps.

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.

There is an analog out and an optical out... either running RCAs or optical cable. The unit doesn't have enough power to run speakers on it's own... that is why a separate receiver is needed. If you have a set of powered computer speakers with a volume that is also another option as long as it has RCAs or optical in!!

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.

you will need a preamp or a reciever with preamp outputs...its a nice unit for the money, it does have a power gain control on the back of the unit if you are pairing it with another amp..good luck

Yes you can, however, I was disappointed to find that you cannot directly output audio from any of the hdmi inputs to zone 2. Only in "party mode" which outputs the same thing on both zones in stereo only.

Charles, I don't think that you can have the source(cd ,mp3 etc, running through both amps and connect the two) you would have to have the source run through both amps to hear and play the sound. Meaning connect the power of the amps together. No. Use the amp in a different set up elsewhere, and use the Pyle for the general use, its a great receiver! Randy

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

Yes, that is correct. You need one rca cable from your denon out and connect it to the input marked as 'sub in'.

yes & no, Just 2 channel active equalizer. you could use the tape out line level outputs to feed another system however or feed a set of powered speakers. my set up is as follows, main outs to main AV receiver, 2 tape outs to both a sound bar and a rf transmitter linked to a wireless speaker I can place anywhere. so zoning is possible at line level. (NO SPEAKER outputs at all.) Hope that answers your question.

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

You have to either split one sub channel, or, preferably, use subs with line pass through capability. SVS SB13-Ultra comes to mind. This receiver sounds great. I returned a Denon x4000 and this is way better. It even sounds better than my Crown studio amps. And the room correction is way better than Audyssey Platinum's XT32 features.

Yes, I ran it that way with my Denon receiver for an extra pair. It has RCA inputs in the back.
