QuestionMy multi-zone Harman Kardon currently supports my 5.1 as my main home theatre, and a pair of speakers hardwired on my deck as zone 2. One of the zone 2 channels has gone out and I want to know if this Yamaha will support this set up?
Asked 7 years ago by ddanielcigars.
- Answer Yes, you can do zone 2 configuration with the 5.1, I have mine set that way. Also with the MusicCast, or control app, you can control the volume, etc from your phone for both channels and up to 9 additional channels using remote MusicCast speakers or amps.

QuestionI guess my question is more general, because the last answer was not helpful at all. Can a Receiver with "minimum impedance at 8 Ohms" safely use 6 Ohm speakers? Or, must all speakers used on a "minimum 8 Ohm impedance" be 8 Ohm rated speakers?
Asked 7 years ago by Jack.
- Answer Think of ohms as resistance; higher the number the more resistance, so the answer is you can use the amp but be careful because the lower the ohms the more power the speaker will receive therefore with that being said it would be easy to cook your speakers. if you disconnect your 8 ohm speakers from your amplifier and connect 4 ohm speakers, then the resistance goes down. Less resistance lets more current flow and so the amplifier will have deliver more power to the speakers

QuestionCan I listen to two different inputs in separate zones?
Asked 7 years ago by Bob.
- Answer Yes you can but limited to a set number. I would download the manual that shows which ones for Zone 2 to double check your application. In general it can't play HDMI unless you match Zone 1. Zone 1 can play anything.
