I have a friend who wears hearing aids in both ears and prefers to listen to movies with heaphones.
Is there any way to listen to headphones and speakers at the same time? I have used other receivers that allow this option. The 990 doesn't seem to.

Not if you use the internal headphone amp - when it is engaged, the pre-amp outputs are off.

You coulddo an outboard headphone amp connected to zone 2 (which would allow for a separate remote volume control) or the video1 or tape output (which would require the headphone amp to provide volume control), at which point you could do both headphone and speakers.

Didn't think so, but had to ask. - Thanks Gonk.
