Like many, I don't always want to fire up the whole theater when watching something. Two channel audio through the TV's speakers is fine.
While I'm sure that I can figure out the easiest way to accomplish this by reading the 990 manual, I'm just wondering what others do. I was thinking that a two channel stereo downmix to the Zone 2 output routed to the TV audio inputs might do the trick, though if Zone 1 and Zone 2 are independent, I might have to suffer with the composite Zone 2 video in this case (so I can have Zone 1 off and Zone 2 on). Time to re-read the manual.
