Zone 2 question: RSP-1068/RMB-1077

[rhubarbe]

I am thinking about buying a Rotel RSP-1068/RMB-1077 combo, because I like the sound, respect the brand, and just as importantly, the price is right.

The RMB-1077 is 7 channel and my setup is only five channel (3 x Polk lc265i and 2 x lc65i). I have a second zone (2 x Polk lc265i) and I wonder if:

Can I connect the zone 2 audio output from the 1068 to the spare two channels' inputs on the 1077, and run the speaker cables from those outputs to my speakers in zone 2?

IYSWIM?

Thanks

Yes you can use the other two channels in your 1077 for anything y ou want. What you are asking can easily be done.
