Digital inputs (HDMI, digital coax, optical) on the Yamaha cannot be used to output audio to Zones 2 & 3. This limitation has no effect on analog inputs. example: SB3 > optical > Yamaha = playable only in "main" zone SB3 > analog L-R > Yamaha = playable in ALL zones, or any combination of zones The nice thing about such zones (albeit with the limitations) is that these zones are also independent of the main zone from a single AVR. example of simultaneous zone play: Main Zone = SB3 Zone 2 = FM tuner Zone 3 = CD player -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57836 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
