I want to set up Zone 2 for outside speakers. Is there any way I can do this without speaker wires?

Use a wireless speaker system. they make them for both indoor and outdoor use.

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.

I don't know about wireless outdoor speakers. I use it for wired outdoor speakers.

Zone 2 can be HDMI, speaker wire or an analog signal (RCA). There are no digital audio outputs.

Frank, there is no "A" or "B" speakers, just "Front". If you need to wire a second zone, you have to connect the speakers to the upper front or surround back input, I don't remember well right now. Regards and good luck.

I am currently using this outside with a pair of Boston Acoustic outdoor speakers. In my application, the control is under a covered porch.

I can't answer this specifically. Having said that I have mine set up using Bose speakers with to mini speakers and a sub woofer inside. Outside on the porch are two outdoor speakers. I am not sure if this is of any assistance but thought I would share what little but of info I had.

The back of the receiver has all the terminals for connecting the surround sound. The terminals are all labeled. There is only one channel connectir for zone 2. If you have more then one set of stereo speakers you will need a patch panel. Hope that helps.

Personally im using dedicated receiver for my speakers outdoors with a Zone 3 line ran to it. I am using a dedicated receiver for the purpose of the "A" & "B" so that i can control two separate zones in my yard. Ex. Zone "A" is around the pool and Zone "B" is the BBQ lounging area and when we are having a party Zone's "A" and "B" at the same time. But these speakers do need a dedicated amp to run them but any amp with a minimum of at least 100 watts per channel will be ok. but it really comes down to how much you want to spend. Check out "Sony STRDH130 2 Channel Stereo Receiver" or even some cheap Pyle stereo amps here on amazon. Personally im using dedicated receiver for my speakers outdoors with a Zone 3 line ran to it.

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.

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.

If you do airplay, it won't work. Zone 2 airplay only works while zone 1 also does airplay. Learned the hard way. Having to send it back.

Hello, and thank you for the inquiry. The speakers are not wireless. They require outdoor speaker wire which are not included with the speaker.

NO, they have to be wired with speaker wire, which I believe a certain distance, maybe 50' each, was provided. I carried it a step further and actually ran 1/2" PVC and burried it so that the wires would not be accidentally cut by yard maintenance. Speakers look and sound great in the yard. Put out three pairs, in addition to the ones on my patio cover, which are another brand. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your question. You will require speaker wires to be run from your equipment rack to the rooms that you would like speakers in. If you hook up a 7 channel surround system, the remaining zones can be driven using separate amplifiers to run the additional zones. If you hook up a 5 channel surround system, the remaining speaker outputs may be reassigned for one of the other zones. Best thing might be to go to the manufacturer's site and download the full users manual to determine if this unit's features will work for you individual application. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Pioneer dealer.

You can use the output of zone 2 as the analog input of the main zone. Put anything you want on zone 2 (except airplay apparently) and change the main zone to the analog inputs. This is a trick we use with automation systems.
