B&K AVR 307

[jerky244]

I recently purchased a B&K AVR307. I can't find anyone who knows for sure if i can run it 5.1 and use the other channels for another zone. Ideally i would like to be able to run 5.1 inside the house while watching something on dish and also have zone two playing my outdoor speakers through a different source. I have heard conflicting arguments. I have heard that i wil need a seperate zone amp to be able to do that. Any help would be much apreciated

Thnx;

ZONE ‘Z’
Using the Z (zone) function via the remote control - Your receiver comes equipped with a fully independent
2-channel analog pre-amp for use with a second audio zone. The easiest way to control the second Zone is with a
dedicated Z2 remote available from B&K and other universal remote suppliers. You can also control the second
zone from your zone 1 remote via the “Z” button.

so zone 2/3 can only be used as a processor/ preamp? Will i need an external or additional amp to be able to run 2 sources simultaneously? Sorry if I misundderstood u it will probably make much more sense to me once I get the amp. It is currently on it's way from OR. I'm beginning to wonder if UPS has a new shipping method called "UPS camel" or "UPS foot". It was sent out on the 13th coming from Oregon to INdiana. I can't beleive it's taking so long. Maybe i'm a little excited as well. Thnx for letting me vent!

thnx again for the help;
