The device does not have a volume control, you will need to attach it to a source which will control the volume.This speaker selector can definitely handle what you want, as I have a similar setup in my house. The selector has only two inputs, and the remote doesn't appear to have a signal that you can program into other remotes, so you're probably best to just have a single input running to the selector. Run all your components into your receiver, and then connect the receiver's output to the selector as your zone 2 (I'd leave the primary output zone hooked up to the receiver's zone 1). Then use the selector to determine which zones you want turned on in your house.

No sound. It's only a switch panel and resistance matcher. What your doing May be possible. But we don't use it that way.

The switch does not have amplification so you can't control the volume with it. From memory I think you can have two sources plugged into it (ie amplifiers). What you are suggesting is not as simple as it seems, good luck

No the remote does not controle volume neather does this device it is strictly a speaker slecter. You can play sounds from two different sources to seven different speaker sets or you can play seven different sources to two different speaker sets.

Yes, this is the way I use it. I use the surround sound inside and zone 2 is set up outside.

The remote controls the volume, as well as off and on functions. You adjust the volume on each individual speaker. There is no way to adjust the volume of both at the same time (unless they are right next to each other) and there is no "mute" function on the remote. But they turn off and on very quickly so if I need instant quiet, I simply turn them off.

I'm not very technical and had someone else hook this up for me.I have cable TV. Before I purchased this soundbar, I was using the cable remote to control everything, including volume. The volume and channel change on the TV remote doesn't work when set up this way.After the soundbar was hooked up, the TV remote was still off line for volume and channel changing. I can control the volume by both the cable remote and the small remote that came with the soundbar.Sorry...that's the best I can tell you.

this unit is not controlled by a HAI system. I is a stand alone system, but has a remote that will let you control it completely. It can be down loaded play list by a account you setup on internet. It can play list of music on your pc's play list. I was looking for my manual but, no find yet ! If power is removed, the unit will not return last state, it go's to reset. I hope this helps you ! http://www.manualslib.com/ has the manuals

Yes, you can use just Zone 2 and keep Zone 1 off. I just tried this before answering your question. Not sure what you are referring to re analog. However, Optical/coaxial digital and HDMI audio sources are not output to Zone 2. You cannot output any video signal to Zone 2. You can select the following input sources for Zone 2: Analog audio input (AV 5-6, Audio 1-2); Tuner (FM/AM radio); USB (including iPod/iPhone); Server; Airplay; Internet Radio (Pandora, Sirius, Internet Radio, etc.). There are some restrictions about playing different sources in Zone 1 & Zone 2. For example, Airplay is available in Zone 2 only when Airplay playback is ongoing in Zone 1. If your laptop is used as a server, you can play music to Zone 2. (I have not been able to get Server to completely work. I just need to spend more time looking into this to see what the laptop setup has to be to make this function work.) I have a standalone CD player and I hooked it up to AV-5 so I could hear it in Zone 2. To make everything work with this receiver, you do have to pay attention to how you hook things up - especially where Zone 2 is concerned. This is not a big deal but it does require your attention. I also use the Yamaha app on my Android tablet and I find this very useful for controlling Zone 2 when I am on my patio. Hope I've been somewhat helpful.

This is a good small soundbar, especially for the money, but if I understand your question correctly it will NOT sync directly with your TV's volume control, but the volume will become quieter or louder when changed on your TV. For example, if you turn the volume on your TV up it will not turn the speaker's internal volume up, however the sound coming through the speaker will become louder. The speaker has its own independent volume control, that you adjust with the black knob you can see on the right-hand side in the picture (and unfortunately the speaker does not come with its own remote). So basically, once the speaker is plugged into your TV you can raise the volume either by raising your TV's volume or the speaker's volume, but one will not control the other. Hope that helps! :-)

I'm still confused, and hoping someone can help. We have one of these right now, and with a 2nd child coming, I want to buy a 2nd one. I would like to be able to hear BOTH rooms on one parent receiver on the same channel. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

The remote is very simple. it only has a few functions, Mute, In/out Mode, Multi zone Enable, Zone In/out, Master/slave, Zone in/out z1, z2, z3, z4,z5,z6,z7. That's all it does, no on/off, or volume option.

Yes. I have three different units throughout my house. You can individually select each unit with paiting from a phone or computer. Furthermore, you can select numerous units to simultaneously play the same audio if the units are told to do so through iTunes on a computer. My multiple unit set up works great and is pretty convenient. Works best with a strong wifi network though. If you have a faulty router, you might experience some lag or stopping of audio.

The controls work in a similar way as they do with your personal music on your device. Volume Up/Down work like normal. The next track works if the service offers that. I've used it a bunch with I Heart Music and it goes to the next track until the service says you can't forward any more. This is a service level limit, not anything controlle by our device. Pause/Play also work like normal. Let me know if you need any further assistance, Valerie - Wusic Customer Service

Rock The House - The Whole HouseHelloWho says whole home audio is only for the chosen few? Add more PR1 Receivers or a PS1 Speaker, link them up, and hear music everywhere with perfect synchronization. Or, let everyone stream to different rooms at the same time.Link speakers to stream to multiple rooms at onceLet multiple users stream their own songs in different rooms at the same timeThank You!!

I have just used the app for adjusting the volume when watching TV. It works great as the receiver is in a enclosed cabinet and with my old receiver I always had to open the door in order to access the volume remotely or by hand.

no you cannot, you can only control the receiver with the included remote. You would need a universal remote to control everything with one remote; however, there are no universal remotes at the moment that will control the Roku. . so even in your best case scenario you will need at least two because the Roku remote does not control volume at all. (I wish I had known this before I purchased everything for my new setup, seems to be a design fail)

I don't know for sure what you mean by zones, but you just find a frequency that is quiet and set both the unit and your receiver on same frequency and you shouldn't have a problem. You can change the frequency anytime you want, you just have to find a quiet location on your receive'rs FM dial and set the Unit at same frequency.

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.

Not exactly sure what you're asking, but here's a possible answer: The main gain/volume of the remote speaker is controlled by the remote or by up/down volume buttons on the remote speaker itself. However, the input signal level to the (separate) transmitter (from iPod, etc) will also change the volume at the speaker (and needs to be up quite a bit to "trigger" the system.) Naturally, the "music" itself will be determined by whatever input source you connect to the transmitter. By the way, the item shown here is only the Wireless ADD-ON speaker without transmitter, so you would need to already own or purchase the transmitter/remote/speaker basic complete system. Hope this helps.
