Thanks for your answer Anthony, but what I want to do is to watch the game and listen to music at the same time in zone 1. Is that possible?

Hi Renee! This can be done using the "Video Out" feature. This allows you to select a video source to be displayed in conjunction with the current audio source. As an example, this is how you would assign a CD player (AUDIO 1), to play with a cable box (HDMI 2): 1) Set the input to AUDIO 1 2) On the remote, press 'OPTION' to display the on-screen menu 3) Select "Input Settings" then "Video Out", then select "HDMI 2" 4) Press 'OPTION' to exit the menu After changing this setting, video from HDMI 2 would be displayed anytime the AUDIO 1 input is selected.

No. You can use two of the channels as a Zone 2; however, this receiver is not capable of operating both zones simultaneously. You have to only use one at a time. I'd recommend looking at the Denon receivers if you need a true 2nd zone.

Well, I'd say use the special Game Mode setting for source that your console is hooked to. For sports, just standard default settings for the tuner.

Zone 2 allows you to play from a different source than Zone 1. You can have Zone 1 playing a movie on 7.2 Surround while Zone 2 can be listening to the Radio or playing from other sources (some limitations apply, so you need to read the User Manual for details). Party Mode is used to listen to the same source on both Zone 1 and 2 at the same time. Typical use would be listening to Radio or internet on all speakers when you have a party at home (hence the name "Party Mode").

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.

The same source can be played in both zones or seperate sources to each zone. One zone is 5.1 and the other is stereo

Yes you can.. they both play at the same time.. or only one channel at a time...

If you dual zone you mean split screen, yes. You can have GPS and a movie playing at the same time.

Yes you can. I live in San Diego and I just tried it. I'm listening to BBC4 now.

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.

I returned the item a long time ago, but I think you can actually come into a show already on the air, press "rec" and start watching, and then after that you can press "pause" and "play" all you wish. You cannot do this with a show that you set to record and then walked in on mid-way. Nor can you do the "rec/pause" trick while the unit is already recording a show - without messing up your recording.

Yes. I can only speak for the iPad and iPhone. There is an app from Denon that least you switch sources and audio modes. I haven't tried it with a second zone yet, but I believe that is supported. The AirPlay support is pretty good as well. If you start streaming to it (built in support) it will automatically turn itself on.

You can choose, but you aren't able to have two different HDMI sources playing to the two separate zones simultaneously

You can run it through both at the same time if you would like. It played through both on mine when I initially set up the soundbar, so I just turned the volume all the way down on the TV.

It depends on where the song is "coming from" (i.e., what the source is). The second zone will only play audio that is coming from non-digital sources. E.g., the tuner. Any audio coming from a digital source, through an HDMI cable will not play in the second zone. Practically, this means the second zone cannot play audio coming from something like a Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or similar devices when those devices are connected via HDMI.

No -- you can not output digital audio sources like HDMI or the digital audio input jacks to Zone 2 except when in Party Mode (i.e., playing the same source as the main zone).
