Second Zone Use 101 (First semester)

I try to squueeeeeze everything out of my equipment that I can (utility-wise). Zone 2 outputs are connected (as I've mentioned) to a "sub-system" in LivRm. Z2 feeds an extra preamp to small amp to headphone circuit. The analog audio outs from Z2 feed this as well as L&R inputs on 2d small TV (also fed from Z2 vid out). So when grandson is here there can be two independent "entertainment" systems ongoing. Furthermore, being darned lazy smile I can use the Z2 remote z2 headphone and/or the Z2s TV remote if I want sound out of that. Would do that if I used headphone circuit (which is great...Dolby in phones...WOW) laugh from front of 990.

So there are lots of ways to do it. You could have your cake and eat it too by running another parallel from Z2 outs to a system outside..as well.
