Thanks to everyone for their replies; they have been very helpful. I am concerned about the lack of Dolby PLII but I also wish to run a pair of outdoor Infinity speakers from the unit as well. Any suggestions. My family room has sliding glass doors that lead out to our deck. I am currently running wire from outside into my current receiver I use the A/B switch to play either outside only or both in and out. Is there a way to achieve this with the 1050? I know Denon has something on the 1803 that lets you use the 6th channel for this type of setup.
