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.

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:... -
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... -
This really needs to be highlighted here, since we are a steady A/V website for information:
On February 19th, 2009, ***ALL*** full-power TV stations in the USA will stop broadcasting analog signals. This means that unless you do something about it, every analog TV in your house will...
