    Zone 2/B function doesn't work as specified.

    The Zone 2/B doesn't work as described in the manual. HDMI audio set to PCM will not output into Zone 2. So you can only use an analog input (if you have one!). Zone B doesn't output audio regardless of the input or audio signal. Pioneer eliminated their Speaker A/B function on newer receivers. Speaker A/B outputs audio to Speaker B without exception. This is a big disappointment. I have bought Pioneer receivers for over 10 years as the multiroom function was critical to my experience. I hope they fix these bugs. I found nowhere on Pioneer's website to get support, the one link I found was broken.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
