Yes, this receiver can handle multi zone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes absolutely. That's why you have different zones. Btw I totally love this A/V receiver . I have it connected to Klipsch speakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Batmansmith311, yes you can still enjoy the surround sound from the main zone while the other zone has music playing to it. You may refer to the next link for additional details: http://helpguide.sony.net/ha/strdn107/v1/en/index.html. ~Erin
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While I have not done this yet, it is supposed to be possible. This receiver actually has 3 zones. I asked this question at the store prior to buying as I had read something about someone switching to Zone 2 and then only having 2.1 in zone 1. I was told that was no longer the case, and that I would in fact have the 5.1 available while 2 other speakers were in use in zone 2. It was when you go Zone 3 that this might apply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Theoretically, yes. (I haven't actually implemented this feature) Within the "Zone Controls" menu there are three basic settings for Zone 2 and Zone 3 each. You can select: power on/off, zone input - Source, Cable, Video 1, SA-CD/CD, FM Tuner, USB, Bluetooth, Home Network, and, Music Services, and, zone volume - fixed or variable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No you can't. Only one source can be processed at a time.
