I have an RSX-1056. Love it. Right now I'm just doing 2.1 in my main room, have the rear channels hooked up to my outdoor speakers, and only turn them on in 5Ch stereo mode when I want music in my back yard.
I plan on installing some in ceiling rear speakers to give me 4.1, and eventually 5.1 when and if I decide to add a center speaker in my main room.
The problem is, I'll loose my outdoor speakers when I do this.
Zone 2 is not an option, because all of my sources are digital and Zone 2 will not play digital sources.
I do NOT have a need to play different sources or volume levels outside. All I do is play the same source in the main room *and* outside when I'm working/entertaining around the house.
So, zone 2 is out. I can't use both the internal amps of the reciever *and* the pre-outs at the same time. Short of just wiring the speakers in parallel with a hard wired on/off switch for the outdoor speakers, I'm stumped as to how I can get 5.1 in my main room, and have outdoor stereo speakers playing from the same reciever/source on demand.
Ideas?
