Zone 2 (rsp-1068)

[june]

hello all,

i want to set up a 2-channel system with the rsp-1068. will the zone 2 outputs work like the l/r preouts? if they, do i have a pair of b&w P6 speakers and a rotel rb 985 mkii 5-channel amp in storage.

will the zone 2 outputs work like the l/r preouts?

Not exactly. Zone 2 outputs will not output digital-only connected sources. If you have digital sources that you want to hear in Zone 2, you will need to make an additional analog input connection from each of them.

srb,

after hooking up the amp & speakers, sources from CD or MP3 will play if hooked up via analog?

[srb]

Yes.

Zone 2 has independent Input Selection and Volume. In the On-Screen Display Menu > Zone2 Setup, the outputs should be set to Variable (default), and the Volume parameters can also be set (Turn On Volume and Max Volume).

The powering on and off (standby) of Zone 2 is also independent, so if the Main Zone is put in standby by either the front panel On/Standby button or the remote, this will not affect Zone 2 which would remain On.

That about covers Zone 2 configuration, but the configuration and operation is all well described in the RSP-1068 Owner's Manual. If you access the manual online, you can use the Adobe Reader's Find function to quickly find any references to "Zone". http://www.rotel.com/content/manuals...ng_fre_spa.pdf
