A: You cannot have a 5.1 setup and do a zone B at the same time. Zone B uses the surround channel amp. So if you want a Zone B, your main Zone A will be Front, Center, and Sub setup (3.1) only. Same is true if you use the surround channel amp for bi-amping your front speakers. You need a 7.1 channel receiver in order to have a 5.1 setup in the main room and using the 'back surround' amp for your second zone.
Q: how does the bluetooth work?
A: You can link a Bluetooth device (like a phone or a tablet) running a music application (streaming or playing audio files on that device) to the A/V receiver and hear the audio come out the speakers or headphones connected to the A/V receiver.
A: That measurement is indicating the minimum amount of space between the shelf the receiver sits on and anything above the receiver like another shelf.
A: yes it does support ARC. Make sure the "HDMI Control" in the setting menu is set to "on" nd then choose "HDMI" - "ARC Enable". It should be the default setting of ARC on. Hope this helps
A: No you will not need an additional cable. The HDMI cable handles the sound as well. The Amp will play the cable box through the speakers.
Q: Will this unit play dvd movies?
A: It has a DVD pass through. So, you will have to have a DVD player and a TV to play DVD's.
A: Short answer is: You can safely add rear speakers and your sub. Slightly longer answer: The spec sheet on your Pioneers shows a "Maximum Input Power" of 130W. This means that it can safely handle up to that much power. It is not the power required to drive it nor the amount of power it will always use. In the case of your center channel speaker, the specs on that indicate a power range of 10-140 watts. Again, this does not mean that it will use 140 watts. It is the top end that it can handle and not be damaged. My only caution (and a small one at that) is to not crank the volume to the max as the power output of the amp can over-drive your speakers and possibly damage them. However, you are unlikely to do so as the volume would be quite loud and distortion of the sound would be enough to make listening less than enjoyable. ;-) Your sub-woofer is not a factor, assuming it will be a powered sub-woofer. These units take a lower power sub-woofer output signal from your AV receiver and use their own power amplifier built in to drive the speaker. The power draw from the AV receiver is minimal. Hope this helps.
A: The best thing to do is have a DVD player that has HDMI since this receiver doesn't have the component connections on the back. For right now, I have my component cables going to my TV and the red\white audio cables going from the DVD player to the back of the receiver until I decide to purchase a new DVD player with HDMI.
