Will the Zone 2 output work like the B speaker selection does on my old Yamaha receiver with A/B speaker select and will it work with digital input?

Yes and no.You can do that but you have to select the zone 2 source to match the source playing on zone 1.So not as conveinant but can be done

That depends. Your speakers must have analogic inputs or outputs, either p2 or RCA. Mine works great with a pair of amplified computer speakers.

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.

I have a Yamaha reciever and had a pos/neg 2 wire setup and no problems. As long as you have center channel setup.

I do not have this specific receiver, but based on the specs and experience with similar receivers this unit has one additional powered zone supporting 2 (stereo) speakers and one non-powered zone. So I believe you could hook up 2 outdoor speakers directly to this receiver but would need an additional amplifier for 2 more speakers. Also, all the receivers I've used will not output a different digital source on the additional zones than the one being used in the main zone -- just analog sources. In other words, only one digital source at a time so if you to watch a Blu-ray inside while playing music outside, you'll need an analog input for the music. This can be a serious limitation depending on what you want to do, so you may want to find a manual online and check into that before buying.

Thanks for your inquiry. The NR1504 is not designed to have a Zone 1 and Zone 2 speaker setup. Though the unit's bigger sibling, the NR1604, is designed to have that capability. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks very much for your question. The analog inputs are only 5.1. This is a fantastic sounding receiver.

The left and right channels of the zone you want to duplicate run from the receiver to the 'amp' input of the selector. Then you run wires out of the selector your speakers

Thanks for your question. You could run two pair of outdoor speakers off of an external amplifier that would hook up to one of the zone line outputs. If you run the outside off of unused speaker outputs, then I would not play two pair of outdoor speakers very loudly when playing them simultaneously. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Pioneer dealer.

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.

I'm able to get zone 2 audio by setting inet radio as the source. From there I can access inet radio, pandora etc. without running separate analog audio cables

My husband has connected our external TV speakers to the unit and turned off the TV speakers. He said it was not very user friendly, but with perseverance it can be done. Sorry, I don't know what zone 2 is.

this converts digital (optical) audio to analog as it says on the device. If your receiver takes RCA (analog) inputs it should work. I am using it on a TV with an optical out connected to an old pair of sony speakers with RCA inputs and it works fine.

I'm not sure, but check the input/output assignments first. Next, since this receiver can handle multiple zones, check to see if this output is assigned to a different zone. Lastly, if you're not looking at the big manual that you have to go on line for, I would check that. I hope this helps.

Yes. One of the advantages of this product over previous high-end Denon amps is that it has digital-to-analog decoders not just for Zone 1, but also Zones 2 and 3. This means digital input from Apple TV HDMI results in signal to Zone 2 and 3 analog preamp outputs. If you are using the amp in 5.1 mode, you also get amplified speaker outputs for Zone 2 with the 2 spare amps (since this is a 7.1 amp). We bought this amplifier for this reason, and I am happy with the result.

No speaker b zone. Receiver will detect your speakers automatically, whether 4 or 5. Manual speaker setup is also available. 4 speakers 2 for front and 2 for surround, 5th speaker adds center speaker if desired.

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
