Hello all! So Summer is nearly here and my Dad wants music in his backyard. He has a normal Denon 5.1 setup (AVR-S900W) for his home theater that he would like to take it from. Would like to take music from a few sources: Plex Windows 10 that is plugged into the Denon via HDMI Airplay...

My Yamaha RX-A3020 went mute on me, and now I'm looking for a replacement. I'm having a hard time tracking down an AVR that can send the ARC input to the Main Zone with full decode and simultaneously output the same sound down-sampled to stereo to Zone2 pre-out. My local HiFi store sells the...

I have my Main and Zone 2 speakers in the same room. I want to switch to Zone 2 for music easily with my different sources. Other people (my wife) use it also and it would be worth my life to make if difficult to use for her. Appreciate any help. Yamaha RVx6-77 LG TV - HDMI conn My...

Hello everyone, I’m requiring help as a non savvy to the audio game. I have a denon 4500h AVR upgraded from the 2400h. I’ve had an extension built and have 2 monitor audio C165 in ceiling speakers working off zone 2. They face the garden, so I can have music piped to the patio. The sound is...

Hi, I'm not sure what I'm doing wring here, but I'm stumped. I have a Denon x3100w with HDMI main zone output to an Epson HD projector at 1080. Zone 2 is connected to a 60“ 4k TV in another room. I have a PC plugged into the "media player" input, LG Blu-ray player plugged into the Blu-ray"...

Hey all - Just recently put some holes in the wall and moved my front wall heights to the ceiling and went true 5.1.4. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Overheads are awesome. I'm using a Pioneer LX503. Nvidia Shield is my hub for all things. I should mention that since I am putting holes...

Hoping to gain advice. I have an Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver (8-9 years old). Zone 2 is connected to a multi-channel SpeakerCraft amp for outdoor multi-speaker area. This has worked fine for a number of years. The other day, when I turned off Zone 2, I noticed there was a slight hum coming from...

Bought an Integra DRX-4 AVR and want to selectively send my HDMI sources to zone 2. Per the online specs for this AVR on the Integra website, it says it can use the HDMI sources in HDMI inputs 1-3 on Zone 2. Which I read to mean I don’t need to also run RCA cables from these components to the...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of building my house and I want to put together my home theater system. I would like to know if my plan of having a 5.1.2 with Dobly Atmos and a Zone 2 are feasibly and if the speakers locations are good. I have attached a picture of my LV plan for my future...

I'm facing an issue that compounds my lack of clear, concise knowledge with hesitation to overspend on unnecessary tech (which, if you ask my family, has never been a problem before...). The short of it is this: 1. I have a gaming PC that I also use as an HTPC in my den/media room. All cabling...

Hey guys, I have a Denon AVR-X1300W receiver. I'm using DefTech towers with two built in subwoofers on my main zone, so I don't need an additional subwoofer for the main zone (it's a small room). However, I've installed ceiling speakers on my two assignable channels to listen to music while I'm...

TL;DR version: I tried hooking up the RZ710's pre-out via RCA cables to the CD in of a TX-SR602, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting any signal to the SR602. Does the RZ710's zone 2 pre-out get turned off if it's set up with powered zone 2? is there any way to have power to the zone 2...
