This is my first receiver I've ever owned, so please excuse the newbie-ness. Here is my problem:
I have a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K and am having trouble with setting up my system to work properly. I have my cable box connected to the receiver via HDMI. I also have RCA component from the cable box going directly to my TV (for when I don't want to use my surround sound and also because HDMI through on the receiver causes the commercials to be REALLY loud). The problem is I can't seem to be able to send audio from HDMI to Zone 2 (I'm using Zone 2 for my outdoor speakers and want to be able to have Zone 2 on while Zone 1 is off).
From what I've read in the manual/google searches, it's because I cannot send digital audio to zone 2 because it's analog. With that said, I somehow need to be able to send analog audio from my cable box (even though I'm already using the RCA out for my TV) to my receiver so I can use it for Zone 2.
My question is, will optical from my cable box to my receiver work so I can listen to my cable box in Zone 2 or is that digital as well? Do they make some type of RCA audio splitter that can split the RCA audio from my cable box so I can use it for when I'm going directly to my TV or listening to Zone 2?
Thanks,
Ryan
