Asked 2 years ago by Jimmy.

QuestionCan I use my Bose 901 series 6 with equalizer with this product
Asked 2 years ago by Jeffs.
- Answer Hello. Bose 901's with an equalizer require a receiver with either a tape loop, or 'Pre-in/Main Out' jumper ports. Unfortunately, such connectivity options have long since disappeared from AV receivers owing to the lack of demand. The used market offers plenty of options, but I can think of nothing current from any brand which supports the use of Bose 901's with an equalizer. Bose 901's also require something with quite a beefed-up amplifier to get the best out of them.

QuestionCan an equalizer be connected to this receiver?
Asked 2 years ago by Cliff.
- Answer I don't know how you could. There are 4 assignable Audio In connections, but no Audio In connections to route the equalized signal back to the receiver. The receiver does have built-in equalizer functions, though.

QuestionI have 7 inside speakers including a subwoofer, Also I have a second zone outside with multiple speakers. Will this receiver work for my needs. I want to run the outside zone separately. Thanks
Asked 2 years ago by drTige.
- Answer 7 channels plus a powered sub can be driven. If you want to drive 2 speakers in second zone with the onboard amp, you'll only be able to drive 5 plus sub inside. You could drive 7 plus sub inside and pass preamp signal to a separate amp for 2 outside speakers or you could get a 9 channel amp. The cheapest solution that allows shared source across 2 zones is to get this 7 channel amp for inside and get a second 5 channel HEOS compatible amp for outside (cheaper than 9 channel amp).

QuestionI have a secondary display 1080p and other 4K. Will The monitor output 1 and 2 work at either display ? I still have old device with HDM 2.0 (1080i and 1080P). Will it work on this receiver at any HDMI input ?
Asked 2 years ago by Dassi.
- Answer A second Television can be connected to the Monitor 2 output. The receiver will not output two different resolutions simultaneously. The video resolution will default to the lowest of the two. For example, connecting a 4K TV and a 1080P TV, the receiver will output 1080p to both. If two 4K televisions are connected, the receiver will output 4K to both.

QuestionIs there a separate volume control for the center speaker? This would allow having the dialogue be louder than the other sounds that would be coming out of the left/right and rear speakers.
Asked 2 years ago by BobK.
- Answer After you do your room calibration you can add an offset for the speakers in decibels. That's how I've done it. I believe the unit also has a dialog enhancement function and my even have the ability to spread the center channel into the other front speakers.
