How do I set up multi-room audio?
The easiest way to create multi-room audio is with smart speakers. These speakers connect to your Wi-Fi network and the setup is done via an app. From there, they feature built-in mics that listen for wake words for voice commands. With just your voice, you can ask a smart speaker to play a certain song or podcast.
What does Zone 2 mean on a receiver?
The zone 2 feature allows this receiver to send a second source signal to a separate audio system in another location. For example, you can watch a DVD in the main zone, while others can listen to a CD in zone 2 at the same time.
Can I use 2 sets of speakers at the same time?

Can I use Zone 2 as pre out?
Registered. jdsmoothie said: Although you can certainly connect an external amp to the Zone 2 pre-outs, this would be for Zone 2 dedicated speakers only with no Audyssey or sub.
What’s the difference between 2.0 and 2.1 speakers?
Your basic stereo system (a 2.0 system) has two channels of sound—left and right—produced by two speakers. A 2.1 channel system adds a subwoofer into the mix for extra warmth and bass, often a necessity for a music listener who prefers speakers to headphones.
How many speakers can an amplifier handle?
Most amplifiers can cope with a load of two speakers. Similar to a passenger on a small motor bike: add another passenger and the load the bike needs to carry is doubled, but most bikes will cope with two passengers. However adding more than two speakers will normally overload the amplifier.
How does multi-room audio work?
Whether you want to start a new music system from scratch or upgrade an existing hi-fi set-up, multi-room means adding one or more (more than one, really…) wireless speakers or wireless devices to your home. These then communicate with each other and can be controlled via an app on your phone, tablet or computer.
Can you use Zone 2 for subwoofer?
The sub should have speaker wire inputs. Just use those and the sub will work fine with the zone 2 volume control.
Can I use pre-outs and speaker terminals at the same time?
By using a separate amp, you will be able to use Pre-Outs for the speakers. We can say that you can utilize speaker terminals & Pre-Outs simultaneously with the built-in amps of the surround speakers. However, it may not be necessary to utilize them both together.
