There is a major difference between Zone 2 and A/B switching, and unfortunately you don't have Zone 2. If you want speakers in the other room you will need to connect them to the B section. When the A and B are activated at the same time the surround sound in you HT will not work. Rather you will be limited to stereo. Also Zone 2 will allow a user to have two different sources run at once. So one could watch a DVD in stereo in the HT and someone in the other room could be listening to a CD. A/B switching, however, doesn't allow you to use two different sources so whatever the user in the HT will be the same as the other room.
