A: Yes, I have two zones for my setup. Zone 1 powers my 5.1 home theater speakers and Zone 2 powers two outdoor speakers for my deck. I have the Amazon Fire cube hooked up to HDMI1 and Verizon Fios on HDMI2. I'm able to run the FIOS through Zone 1 and listen too Amazon music through zone 2 at the same time. Zone 2 can be turned on by pressing the Zone 2 on the front of the receiver. There is a Zone 2 source selection button that allows you to select the right source for zone 2. The app does a decent job walking you through the setup process. Hope that answers your question.
A: Taking the legs off is a bad idea. Receivers need ventilation. If resting flat on a shelf a receiver can overheat.
A: Yes, I have that exact setup and it works great. The Klipsch speakers are very efficient and can easily be driven to high levels.
A: This unit does support dialogue lift, dialogue level as well as other adaptive settings to help normalize the audio.
Q: Is there different zones on this receiver that we can turn on and off at different times
A: Yes, there are two zones
A: Hello, Your satellite box receiver should plug into HDMI 4 on your receiver and Your output HDMI should be in The ARC HDMI, which should plug into HDMI 1 on your TV. Do not use the ARC port on your TV, it’s hit or miss on your TV.
Q: Can I use banana plug connectors with this stereo
A: Yes you ca
Q: Do I have to purchase antennas for the WiFi and Bluetooth to work?
A: The RX-V685 has two (2) transmitting/receiving antennas located on the back of the unit in the upper left & right corners. The antennas are identical, but transmit different frequencies, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I know these antenna both receive and transmit because I have my RX-V685 "paired" with a tablet device, and a 21 year old Yamaha RX-596 stereo receiver at another location. A Logitech Bluetooth adapter (receiving antenna) is now the Tape-1 input. The RX-V685 allows full house coverage.
