Zone II compatibility Can Onkyo HT-RC260 receiver play Zone II speakers with main speakers?

Only if the input source is an analogue signal. It will not pass any other connections (anything hooked up HDMI or TOSLINK) to Zone 2. I even contacted Onkyo about this and asked them why they are even putting zone 2 on these things anymore since EVERYTHING is going digital.

According to the manual, you can hook up the .7 speakers to power your line one eut. I haven't done this yet. The problem might then be that you can play zone one and two together, or zone one along, but not zone two alone?

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

I have the same issue, unfortunately zone 2 line out (RCA jacks) only work with analog inputs (which is useless because we are all inputting digital sound through the HDMI).

775 has party mode. Mirrors the content to Zone 2 if you are trying to implement quasi-whole house audio. Otherwise, Zone 2 is limited to analog inputs.

Dear Papillon, Thanks for your inquiry. Zone 2 audio on the AVR-S900W requires either an analog signal or a signal from a Bluetooth device. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

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

The pre-amp outputs are Zone 2 and you cannot send digital inputs (HDMI, optical, digital coax) to that zone unless you set the receiver to "All zones stereo". The answer to your question is yes as long as you use all zones stereo. For analog audio and sources from within the receiver (such as broadcast radio, Internet radio or applications like Pandora you can play them to that zone with no restrictions.

Yes surround speakers through the receiver and the rest through the selecter but your receiver must be a dual zone receiver

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 receiver uses multi-zones in order to send a stereo signal to other rooms in your house. So, there is are no more A & B speaker inputs to deal with. Everything is controlled through Denon's internal menu. Here's a link to the Owner's Manual that may be beneficial in locating an answer to your question.....http://www.manualslib.com/manual/699042/Denon-Avr-S900w.html

I don't see a reason why not. Plenty of people have used it for their zone 2 or 3 speakers with no problems.

Thanks for your question. This will not do multi-zone. Please look at the Yamaha RX-V577. This is a fantastic sounding system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

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.

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.

Yes, you can listen to music on zone 2/3 and watch a movie in zone 1, you just have to select a different source for each zone using either the remote or the front panel of the receiver. The instructions in the manual explain the procedure.

You can pick any input for your Zone 2 speakers while playing different content on the main zone. The only exemption I have found is with the Apple TV. For some reason the only way I can make the Apple TV to play on Zone 2 is by selecting the Party Mode option which play the Selected input at both Zones.

Can you be more specific on how to hook up a subwoofer{with "speaker level outputs"} to the Onkyo?
