Gents,
I have a basic question that for some reason I am not understanding. I purchased a 4308 a few months back and love the unit, and am now hooking up a set of in ceiling speakers in the kitchen and wanted to use one of the other zones to power them. My confusion comes in when I try and figure out the amp assignment. I currently am in the process of installing surrounds and WANTED to run the surround "back" speakers as well, so basically a 7.1 setup not using the surround b's. From what I am reading in the manual, it appears as though I cannot use the "back" speakers if I turn on either Zone 2 or 3. Is this true? I DO NOT want to use both Zones 2 and 3, I am only powering 1additional set of speakers in another zone. I see a diagram in the manual actually showing a similar set up, and a footnote at the bottom saying that by default the Zone 2 is set to on and if you wanted to use the back speakers to either turn off Zone 2 or assign another amp. I just needed to know if I can run 7.1 with the "back" surrounds if I configure the kitchen in ceiling speakers to use either Zone 2 or 3. I apologize about the probably ridiculous question, and I think a searched enough to ask. Thanks in advance for your time.
