In order for the receiver to power both sets of speaker simultaneously both A/B will be downmixed to stereo. Receivers simply don't have the power to run surround sound and an extra set of speakers at once. I have had many A/V receivers and they all do this. Also note that you will not have independant volume control for each set of speakers as it would be if you had Zone 2.
