Onkyo Zone 1 and 2 sync?

[n90guy]

My friend has an onkyo receiver with 2 zones. He has the surround in the living room and the second zone speakers in the kitchen. Occasionally he likes to have the audio for zone 2 be the same as the living room, but there is a delay in the audio for the second zone that causes an annoying echo. Is there any way to adjust or sync this?

less bump and more hump do you know your friends receiver model? this info might be helpful for folks to know to help you. i'm sure that would be one of the first questions you'd get (and look it was) seriously, if people don't see enough info, most will tend to not want to ask the info out of you; so throw up as much as possible first.

also how close together are the listening areas? i'll gather they are close enough to hear each other based on the "echo". not sure if there is a fix for that but we will wait on the model number and other information you can give.

best of luck and i do hope you get your friends issue resolved.

Have same question for my Onkyo TX-NR727

My work-around was to use the "bi-amp" setting for the front speakers and connect what is my zone-2 speakers to the bi-amp connection.

This has perfect synchronization, but of course is not actually using the "zone 2" feature at all. I'm guessing that this may only be an option for 7-channel receivers.

Unfortunately, the original question still stands :' (
