can you output airplay to zone 2 (RCA Plugs)

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.

I was also considering using this as an access point for Airplay. Did you try it and did it work? Thanks

You can pick any input for your Zone 2 speakers while playing different content on the main zone. The only exemption I have found is with the Apple TV. For some reason the only way I can make the Apple TV to play on Zone 2 is by selecting the Party Mode option which play the Selected input at both Zones.

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

Yes, it is possible. You should press "Option", then select "All zones stereo", then "Start" plus Enter y you will see that zone 2 input (I mean the source zone 2 is paying) will change to the same input zone 1 is playing. The only consideración you have to keep in mundo is that you can not use some

I don't have zone 2 hooked up, but there does not seem to be any restriction on what sources you can play in zone 2. The manual is online at the Denon site, and I just checked my copy and it doesn't provide any caveats about sources you can use in zone 2.

If you setup the tuner to connect directly to pandora, you can play on zone 2. Select zone 2. Select source. Select pandora. Why waste your phone battery connecting it to pandora and then you phone to the tuner via AirPlay when you can connect to the Internet and pandora directly from the tuner. Other reviewers comments are correct that you can't use an "airplay" connected device on zone 2 but that's not what you asked.

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.

Unless in party mode(zone 1 and 2 linked); zone 2 will only play analog from local sources. Zone 2 will, however, play internet(pandora, airplay, spotify, etc) and network media independent of zone 1. You will have to step up to the A1030 to get digital zone 2 from local sources.

No You Can't right now. Beside Airplay doesn't work that well on this device.

There are a couple options for zone 2 connections. There is an hdmi zone 2 output, if you want to output direct to a tv or separate reciever as zone 2. There are analog stereo outputs to go to a separate zone 2 power amp. And finally the surround back l/r speaker posts are assignable as stereo zone 2 outputs if you wish to power zone 2 speakers directly from the reciever and don't need to use those already for surround back speakers. Denon has the full manual online which describes all this in detail on their product page.

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 CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I have been able to do this from iTunes on my PC but not from my iPad or apple TV, I have only been able to select one speaker from these devices, but from the pc I have had the iW2 the Apple TV and a pioneer airplay enable device all running at once

You have to purchase an optional device to stream it to the pre-amp. However, since this unit has been replaced almost three years ago I am not sure if you can still purchase it. The updated model has Airplay installed in the pre-amp.

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

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.
