Can zone a and b come from different sources (tv in A, music out to B)? can zone A be wired and zone B be wireless?

no it cannotthe a/b switch is a channel not an independent zone you would need to upgrade to a multi zone receiver

I only used the Internet radio which is free and it works great. I have used it on Zone 2.

You can use them on different networks. They can also be used with a wired connection.

You can power on the remote zones but the receiver does not turn on via the network for the main zone. Further if main zone is off zones 2&3 do not respond.

The zoning is independent of the input source. You can have Internet Radio/Pandio on both zones or 1.

It depends on where the song is "coming from" (i.e., what the source is). The second zone will only play audio that is coming from non-digital sources. E.g., the tuner. Any audio coming from a digital source, through an HDMI cable will not play in the second zone. Practically, this means the second zone cannot play audio coming from something like a Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or similar devices when those devices are connected via HDMI.

You can choose, but you aren't able to have two different HDMI sources playing to the two separate zones simultaneously

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

I am pretty novice when it comes to audio technology. We had our system installed. I can't really tell you if it has two zones as I don't know what that means. The receiver has multiple channels which we programmed for tv, dvr, etc. The sound is really amazing. We are very satisfied. Hope this helps. Patti K

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.

Yes. You can have between one to four zones activated at a time. One note: this is not an amplifier. This device will not work without an amplifier.

One source can be heard on one zone or on all zones. Zone A and B are hooked to rock speakers in my backyard. Zone C is my master bath speakers. I can select whichever zones I want to...or even all.

I decided not using zones 2 and 3 since it only works with RCA cables. I use digital cables for better sound quality. And surrounds in main zone area work in all modes except if you select 2 speakers. Good luck

Airplay works fine to zone2. HDMI, COAX and Optical digital sources will not.

I believe zone 2 will take any audio source from the receiver... However, HDMI Out 2 will only mirror what is on HDMI Out 1. It will not let you output two separate video streams. Hope that helps!

Yes. Start the app, select the receiver, the 'zone' button will be in the lower left corner. Select it then select 'Zone 2'.

Yes. There is a HDZONE setting that will output the same or different source from the primary source. It is a HDMI output. I have not tried to provide power to a second set of speakers from the receiver along with the HDZONE as I am just using a TV in the other room. This may be possible but I have nto had the need to try. I do use the line level outputs to a separate amp for ZONE 2 which we use for 10 sets of stereo built in speakers around the house. ZONE 2 and HDZONE share the second source so they are not independent.
