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

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)

I've got it hooked up in a 7.1 configuration using existing rears as back surround. If you use the right terminals on the speaker, it will combine drivers for you to set it up the way you need to- using existing surrounds.

My system is 7.1. I use the NS-IW960 as the center channel, then two NS-IW470 as the left & right, and then I use four NS-1W560C as the rear speakers.

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.

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

I Believe so go to the setup screen and you can select which format you want I use 7.1 very good receiver

You can, but, You'll get stereo with RCA cables (2 channels), not 5.1 surround

Sure you could adapt and run (2) of these Promedia 2.1 systems at once or if you had a sound card/USB you could possibly run (2) of these systems as a 4.2 surround system. Either way, you will have (2) 6.5" subs providing the lows and if not surround sound configured then two lefts and two rights for stereo output.

You can run zone 1 and 2 at the same time. It's a 9,2 receiver so I guess nine speakers. Two subwoofers and two zone 2 speakers at the maximum. But many other options would be possible.

Well its 7.1 surround sound but it works on 5 I suggest being able to support that at least

Basic answer - No. I believe this unit is designed to function just with its own 2 speakers in "stereo" mode. There is no mention of surround sound such as 5.1 or 7.1 that I could find. You might try a "parallel" hook-up with the amp outputs going to both the Yamaha speakers and the appropriate left or right channels of your wall mount speakers - BUT - be careful to verify that the combined loads / impedances, etc are ok (see specs section of Yamaha owners manual & specs for your wall speakers) or you might damage the amps and all the speakers involved. Also this would only give you more stereo output with all the speakers, not 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Try your Yamaha with just its own speakers and turn up the volume a little - this might work ok for you without the wall speakers. Regards, John

I would stick to using them on the sides or in the rear. I have mine as the rear speakers and they work great. I have a 7.1 system but these are wired as the side speakers and the side speakers wired as the rear. I did this because for some reason when they were wired as the rear speakers the volume was quite low compared to the sides. Now the side speakers (wired as the rear) just fill in the gap between front and rear because of the lower volume. Most shows play in 5.X anyways so it sounds great.

I don't know what 7.1 is - I stopped at stereo. But you're right, you can simply pull the cable apart to make 2 single cables - I did in fact pull mine slightly more apart at the ends to facilitate plugging them in - they pull apart very easily.

In the Denon app you can choose whether the internet radio plays from zone 1 or zone 2. If you use airplay, I think it defaults to zone 1.

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

Old guy here too. The "A/B" thing is pretty much replaced with Zone 1, Zone 2, etc. It's like a B set of speakers, but Zone 1 (your main room where the 5.1 is) can play one thing, and Zone 2 (your patio) can play something completely different, because there are multiple amps in the AVR. So, you can play a CD in Zone 1 (main room), and listen to Pandora in Zone 2 (patio). Of course, you can play the same thing in both zones if you like. It's more versatile than simple A/B.

Not sure what u wAnt to do. I had 2 as rear surround and they worked great.
