Onkyo 806 zone 2 question - Blu-ray Forum

BLindsay · 10-28-2009, 07:03 PM

I was thinking about setting up zone 2 on my onkyo 806 but i seem to remember reading somewhere i could used zone 2 of my main was 7.1 (or had the fronts bi-amp)

basically im moving my computer away from my reciever and was gonna pick up like a set of monitor 50's or 60's to go with my computer and run them off of zone 2 if that would work??

maybe i just worded the question badly? are there any restrictions on the use of zone 2?

ah i found the answer. Zone2 cant be used if im running my fronts bi-amp. not the answer i was wanting though. How much SQ will i use by not bi-amping my fronts?

Ok another question about zone 2, say i setup my zone 2 speakers, is there a way to hookup a zone 2 powered sub?

Yes, but you have to use the speaker level inputs and outputs on the sub.
