Is there support for multiple zones? If not, can you recommend an AirPlay-capable receiver with multiple-zone support?

Thanks for your question. This will not do multi-zone. Please look at the Yamaha RX-V577. This is a fantastic sounding system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Yamaha dealer.

.I think this device will ease using airplay network capabilities.Personally,I did not buy it,as I had a wifi extender (netgear,40 dlls.) that I connected to my yamaha 573 and configured to my wifi network.So then,when I am going to play my music from my iphone or ipad,I connect these devices in the same network name.

Not sure about the Mac Book, but on my Windows PC iTunes there is an AirPlay icon ( a box with an arrow pointing into it) which appears when AirPlay devices are detected on my network. I can select output to single or multiple speakers ( I have 3) including my laptop speakers in this version, although ios on my iPhone only allows a single output

You will want a receiver with multi-zones, some will allow both to work off the main receiver and others require a separate amplifier for the second zone, all depends on how much you want to spend, found an article that does a pretty good job of walking you thru the pros and cons.

You can install Raspbmc that supports airplay. But there is a known issue with ios7 support - ios7 devices play only sound, not video.

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

I have the same question as I would like to send one to my parents in Europe. Does anyone know the answer? Also, Can you play the same music through airplay on more that one unit simultaneously? (If I had one in different rooms, would they all play the same thing I launch ?)

I don't know what you mean by zones. I would not place this unit next to a receiver. Because it's going to eliminate every station. I was suggest at least having at 12 feet away from any receiver

My receiver has 2 zones, but I've never used both. I bet you can figure out away to make it do what you want.

No you will not need to purchase any additional add ons Airplay is built in simply select airplay from the NET options on the receiver

They live as devices on your Wifi network so you can have as many of them as you want. iTunes Airplay supports multiple speakers concurrently. iPhone Airplay only supports a single speaker.

I've only used AirPlay to listen to music; I haven't used it to watch video. For that, it worked beautifully without any extra receiver.

Yes, you can. I have two of these units on my Airplay set up, one in the living room and one on my back porch. I also have my Apple TV on the same network. They work great for me. The wireless receiver range on these units is somewhat limited. My house is large, so I use wireless extenders for proper network signal strength (Netgear sells units for &lt;$50).

Unfortunately, over AirPlay, there's only audio. However, apps such as YouTube have the ability to stream video and audio to the receiver over a wifi network.

I am running two rears off of one of these systems and it has worked really well. Looking at wireless receiver for the speaker system it only has hookups for two speakers...I guess you could double up and run four speakers but they would all just be the rears...if you wanted separate zones you would probably have to have more than one system...I don't know if they would interfere with each other of both systems were run from the same receiver. Hope this helps.

Yes. Each zone is controlled by a source. If you have 3 different music sources than each one will support one zone. Example: zone 1 - radio, zone 2 - pandora, zone 3 - CD player
