QuestionWhy won't the center speaker play any sound for Hulu or AppleTV apps from my Chromecast Google TV device plugged directly into the Media Streamer port? Center only plays sound in All Channel Stereo, not any Dolby or DTS setting, which is pointless.
Asked 6 months ago by Shel.
- Answer Hello Shel, Besides the Chromecast Google TV device, is there another source like a physical BluRay/DVD player that is hooked up through the receiver that you can try to play Dolby Digital or DTS? When playing back that source is the Center channel providing you sound? Thank you Onkyo

QuestionCan the front speaker outputs be connected to a speaker selector to run the sound to multiple zones/rooms? I'm hoping to place speakers in other rooms and patio and have the same music playing in other places? Thanks!
Asked 7 months ago by DonnaB.
- Answer Hello Multizone, Having to many speakers on a one amplifier could potentially put the receiver into protection because of an overload. Try to put space out the speakers on the receiver so it wouldn’t be a to much of a load on one set of terminals. Thank you, Onkyo
