newbie questions about zone 2 and controlling other speakers in the house - 05/06/05 05:37 PM
Hopefully, any day now, I'll receive word from Outlaw about the purchase of a 990. I also plan to purchase a 755.
I currently have an older Yamaha receiver that I've been using for HT and stereo music. It has two sets of speaker outputs called "A" and "B". My 5 HT speakers are connected to the "A" section. I have speaker wire going from the "B" section to a small box (can't remember product name) that allows me to run two other sets of stereo speakers from it. If I push the section "B" button on the front of the Yamaha receiver the other speakers in different parts of the house play music that's coming from the CD player or tuner, etc.
The question is how do I make this happen with the 990? Do I run a couple of PCA cables from the "zone 2 out" of the 990 to the Yamaha and leave the speaker wires in the "B" section of the Yamaha as they are today and they will continue to function as they do now?
Will the signal just pass through the Yamaha with the Yamaha not really controlling anything?
Are there other options that would enable me to remove the Yamaha from the picture?
