    Can 1068 output digital audio to Zone 2?

    In other words, lets say I use only a digital coax cable from DVD player to 1068. If I want to listen to a CD (using the DVD player) in another room using the zone 2 feature can it handle this? I know some pre/pro's and recievers can only output analog audio connections to a second zone but cant remember about the 1068.

    No. Zone 2 can only output analog signals. You would need to connect your DVD player with a pair of analog cables in addition to your digital connection.

    MOST players will output digital and analog simultaneously.

    (Although I understand that listening to different digital sources on the main zone and zone 2 would require a second set of DACs, I never quite understood why the implementation would not allow for the same digital source to be available on zone 2.)

        1068 via analog
        by PSUfan
        Alright, this topic seems to be discussed too often but the upgrade bug is upon me.....I have the pioneer elite 23fd blu-ray connected to my 1068 via analog. In this situation the pioneer handles all the decoding and my 1068 is set to multi-input making it a large volume knob. The sound is excellent...

        RSP-1068 output level/impedance causing hiss?

        As mentioned in a previous thread, I purchased a 1068 last weekend and am still in the learning mode...

        I've noticed that I need to adjust the 1068 volume control fairly high to get the sound levels I like. The problem is that I seem to get some hiss on the quieter passages if I've selected...

        RSX-1055 and zone 2 question
        by srinathalapati
        Folks,

        I own a RSX-1055 and I am planning to buy an amplifier (Audio Source AMP100) to power outdoor speakers. I was reading the RSX-1055 manual about zone 2 operation and it confused me a bit. I am looking for some clarification from the experts here. On page 25 in the manual it says:...

        Why do I need to upgrade my RSP-1068?
        by raduray
        Until just a month ago, I had a SD Sony 36” Wega CRT as the video component of my system. Feeding it, using component from the 1068, was an S-Video cable box and a S-Video/Component 480p Pioneer DVD/CD player/recorder. Sound from the Cable Box and the DVD/CD Player was via the digital coax and...
