I don't think so; either it will perform low or will not get the surround sound.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While the AVR-X1700H is equipped to power a 5.1 (4 speakers, a center channel and a sub-woofer) system - as well as an extra pair (zone 2) elsewhere in your home - it does not have the terminals for a second pair of zone 2 speakers. If you wish to use an all-in-one solution, our AVR-X3700H would do exactly as you wish without needing a switching box. Here is a link to more details: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/denon-avr-x3700h-8k-ultra-hd-9-2-channel-105-watt-x-9-av-receiver-3d-audio-video-built-for-gaming-black/6421384.p?skuId=6421384 Alternatively, there's this option which you could be fed by your Zone 2 (assigned) output. If your outdoor speakers are not too demanding, it could feed two pairs: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sonance-4-pair-stereo-speaker-selector-each-black/5683608.p?skuId=5683608 Any more than 2 pairs and I would suggest the use of an external power amplifier
