I think that the zone 2 works GREAT for my application. Why would I want to control the treble and base for zone 2?

Zone 2 goes to another power source, in my case I have an 0ld reciever that powers the downstairs and another receiver that controls the rooms upstairs.

I really only use the 2nd zone for CD music so on the Outlaw it is always set to that.

I really like the fact that the Outlaw does not need to be on to run zone two. On my Yamaha receiver, the Yamaha had to be on and the receiver upstairs had to on for zone 2 to work. So, good job Outlaw.
