Can Zone 2 play the sounds from my Cable tv?
I would like to setup 5.1 and then zone 2 for my kitchen to also please what is on the TV (i.e. pandora on X1), can this receiver do this? My last receiver would only play stereo on 2nd zone.
Yes. I just set this up over the weekend to play Pandora through DTV to my patio speakers. I have HDMI from my DTV to the reciever for 5.1 in my living room. I also connected Red/White composite from DTV to the reciever. Connect zone two speakers and go though the reciever's settings menu to turn on Zone two. Press zone two on the reciever and select the input that you connected. You can have different volume levels for the main room and zone two, so you may need to press zone two the volume on your reciver remote to adjust the zone two's volume level.
