Hey all,

 

  Finally decided on a receiver, Yamaha rx v575. It seems to have all I want: airplay, wifi capable, and multi zone so I can run my patio speakers separate from my garden speakers. Now I just need to ask. I want the ability to play my garden speakers alone, or my patio speakers alone, or both sets at same time. I do not need to play different material on each, just want to play one set or the other or both. This Yamaha receiver has 2 zones for that. Big question, can I wire 2 garden speakers to one channel and the other 2 speakers to a different channel, the switch zones and run my patio speaker to 2 channels on a different zone. I was told I could parallel or series wire 2 speakers to one zone. My speakers are 150 watt 8 ohm resistance. I just cant get a grasp on the wiring part.

  Also, does anyone know if I can use any manufacturers wifi adapter or do I have to use the one they sell for this unit the YWA 10.

 

  Thanks so much to everyone for their guidance.

Sounds like you are asking if you can run the L channel to one location and the R channel to another. This would be a BIG no because you would have to run in mono mode.


A simple and best solution is to buy a inexpensive speaker selection box like this .

Hey William, thanks for the reply. As I understand it, the rep who recommended the yamaha rx v575 receiver said that since it is 2 zone I can have to seperate sets of speakers, one set in zone 1 and one set in zone 2. Now what I want to know is, if I use one channel, can I wire 2 speakers either in parallel or series to that 1 channel. In parallel resistance would be 4 ohms and in series it would be 16 ohms. in the specs of the receiver they call it zone b.Sorry if I am not using correct terminology, I know very little about audio.

You seem to be confusing zones with channels. If you just have 2 zones you want to hook up 2 speakers in each zone then it is simple.


Just run L&R wires from zone 1 (or Mains) to patio L&R speakers and then run L&R wires from zone B (or speaks B) to the garden L&R speakers. You don't need to do any splicing or parallel or series connections.


EDIT: here is a pic of the connections.

I can see your point for the 2 patio speakers but I have 4 garden speakers. Am I incorrect in saying there is only places to hook up 2 speakers, I am prob wrong. Thanks for trying to explain.

Hook the Garden to Zone A and use the 2 surround (cycled in picture) for the extra 2 speakers. Run the receiver in 5 Channel Stereo mode.
