can you configure 7.1 (2 front, 2 surround, 2 back & SW) and have a simple stereo zone 2

Yes, it is a 9 channel amplifier. Your 3rd zone would be pre-out only though.
232581
Yes, you can run up to 9 speakers plus 2 subwoofers. This receiver will do what you want it to without a problem.

I no longer have the 7008 (I have the 7009) however, I believe they are basically the same aside from the 09 having Atmos. I never used the zones over than the main, but I'm more than sure it can be done - a simple stereo zone in 2 with a 7.1 set-up.
232583
Yes you can. Actually if the source is a 2 way stereo ( R - L ), you'll only hear the two front speakers no matter you have configured a 7.1 speaker system.
232584
Yes you can. That is how I have mine setup. Works great. I then use the phone app to control it when I'm on my deck (zone 2)

Usually for surround purposes an odd number is used. ie a 5.1 or 7.1 setup. The .1 is for a subwoofer, then you usually have 2 rear speakers, 2 front right and left speakers and 1 center speaker (5.1 setup) You can add a right and left mid speaker for a 7.1 set up. The front center speaker is the "main" speaker that handles the majority of the TV sound. Unfortunately speakers are sold in even lots, leaving you with an extra speaker.

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

I figured out that I cannot configure my receiver to play music in 3 different rooms. With 2 rooms, I can configure it to play the same sound as well as different sounds simultaneously. Only catch is that when configured to play 2 sounds I cannot control volume in the second zone.ps: Wby sound(s) I mean sound sources

No. Compare for example to the Denon AVR-E400 which is a 7.1 receiver, where you have the option of running it in 5.1 mode, plus having a pair of "Assignable" outputs which you can use to power your "Zone 2" speakers -- in other words you could use the E400 to run 5 speakers plus a powered subwoofer inside the house, and then use the other two "assignable" outputs, instead of using them for 7.1 "Surround Back L+R" you use them for your stereo outdoor L+R speakers. Being able to use two outputs of a 7.1 receiver to instead power a remote pair of loudspeakers is a common feature of 7.1 receivers, but not of 5.1 receivers like the E300.

Yes, it is fine to use a 5.1 system with a 7.1 receiver. A 7.1 receiver means you can connect up to 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. This allows you to add 2 more speakers in the future.

I dont think so, you probably will need a higher model that has zones for what you are looking to do, they are usually 7.1

I believe you should be able to since the missing speakers between the 5.1 and the 7.1 are used for mid room surround, however with the whole system in I'm not sure if you'll be able to have just stereo sound coming from the remaining port. Its possible you'll end up with those speakers only playing the sound that would come through the two mid speakers in a 7.1 system.

Yes, the BD55 will "downmix" to 5.1. The additional 2 audio "channels" in 7.1 are matrixed from the 5.1 mix so you won't miss anything with a 5.1 setup.

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
673117
Yes. You can have a 5.2 front speaker bi-amp system with an output to one other zone--or a single zone, front speaker bi-amp 7.2 system.

HC and everyone else answered your question perfectly. I have mine set up just the was he does with 5.1. I like the fact that I can go up to 7.1 and even 7.2 as he also stated. In addition, I have my zone 2 speakers (analog) running up stairs so I can take full advantage of listening to Internet radio while others can watch tv downstairs using the zone 1 5.1 set-up. Once you cut both zones on at the same time, I switch it to the internet radio and can hear all my speakers throughout the house.

7.1 has nothing to do with this system, you just get two additional speakers (of the same brand or different brand) and connect to your receiver to make 7.1 from 5.1

Have you changed the settings so that Zone 2 is active? Because I believe you can choose 7.1, or 5.1 bi-amped, or 5.1 and 2.0 (Zone 2)

You have to manually set what surround setting you want, it does not automatically detect it. I think that's what you were asking and I hope it helps.
257259
Yes, it is possible. You should press "Option", then select "All zones stereo", then "Start" plus Enter y you will see that zone 2 input (I mean the source zone 2 is paying) will change to the same input zone 1 is playing. The only consideración you have to keep in mundo is that you can not use some

Yes, you can even add a 7.1 system. Take a look at the back of the receiver to see all the plugs.
