Our HT room is wired for 5.1. We also have 2 speakers on the patio. So we're thinking of the Denon 3802 because it has 2nd zone amplifier capability. I called Denon to ask the following questions but they haven't called back yet, so I thought I'd ask current owners:
1. Is the second zone volume fully adjustable through the full range of the "other 2 amplifiers", regardless of the volume (or type of material) being played in the main zone?
2. Can the primary and secondary zones receive their signals from different digital sources at the same time (e.g., one DVD/CD player playing a DVD in the HT room and the other playing a CD to the outdoors)?
3. We currently have one set of speakers outdoors. If we want to add a second set later in a different part of the yard, can the Denon's "other 2 amps" power 2 sets of outdoor speakers, or would we need to add an auxiliary amplifier at that time?
4. If one of the kids just wants to drop in a DVD and watch and listen through the TV (with the Denon off) is that possible? (This question may seem silly but I bet it will become real.)
Thanks for your help!
