Does zone 2 put out audio from all HDMI inputs? I would like to connect a TV to the HDMI 2 out and connect my external speakers to Zone2 out.

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!

Secondary audio settings will only effect the audio over HDMI. It should be turned off so audio bandwidth can be freed up for the lossless audio codecs. With standard DD and DTS over optical it should not have any effect.

Wanted to double check this. Can you actually play Pandora over Zone 2 if Zone 1 isn't on Pandora? How are you running Pandora through Zone 2? On my HK and Pioneer, only analog signals will play through Zone 2. So I have to run a RCA from my DTV box to have Pandora play on Zone 2.

Correct. If you want to hook up your own speakers, you have to use audio outs on either your cable box or blu ray player. Keep in mind that the latest models of blu rays dont have component outputs anymore either. There's only one hdmi output on this epson. I just bought an hdmi audio extractor from amazon which allows you to split the hdmi and gives you audio outs for speakers. Havent tried it yet but learned about through other people's reviews.

Nope. This receiver does not support HDMI connected inputs, other digital inputs or analog Component inputs that output to a sub-zone. This would be fine for your primary zone and then you would use composite video (analog) in your second zone.

connect it to the red and white audio out ports... when connected to these everything connected to the tv can play thru the system, haven't had a single issue

Yes, it does play HDMI sources in Zone 2. we have it set up that way at our house and it works great.

Yes I have powered several pairs of speakers from the surround back/ zone 2 output using an impedance balancing speaker selector.

Dear TriplsJs15, Thanks for your inquiry. The Zone 2 in the AVR-S900W can play a separate source from the main source. There are no preouts on this receiver to use a separate amplifier for zone 2. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance! Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

Thanks for the question. This 4 zone speaker selector actually has only 1 input. The output is to connect to another selector and then there are the outputs to the 4 sets of speakers. There are models that have 2 inputs so you can play two different sources at the same time in different rooms. Contact AV-Express for more information.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

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.

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

I didn't see any ouptput audio options so I contacted the company and they said the only output is HDMI. To get a separate audio out J-Tech recommended I purchase this unit plus an "Audio extractor" which takes HDMI in and outputs HDMI plus SPDIF/RCA Stereo.

Hello J. Burke; like the TX-NR 727- digital audio sources (e.g HDMI and digital optical/ digital coaxial) are not supported for ZONES 2/3 broadcasting. The only audio sources supported for ZONE 2/3 broadcasting are - AM/FM radio, NET sources (Sirius, Pandora, TuneIn, etc.), USB, Bluetooth, and of course RCA Analog audio connections.

I have the HDMI video out of my receiver going to a projector, and the audio is running out to the speakers via the wires from the receiver. I have not had any issues with this setup.

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