I'm a newbie to all this so I'd appreciate any help...
I have a Denon 1803 which has Zone 2 capability. I'm currently using the 6th amp to run 2 speakers I have on my patio. This works well, but I would like to increase to 6 outdoor speakers.
I have an older Sony 5.1 receiver which I could use to power 4 speakers, but I'm not sure if I can get to 6 speakers with this setup. The Sony can handle 2 pair of speakers and has 3 surround channels (if I remember correctly - I've never used this unit). So I should be able to run 2 pair of speakers with no problem, but how do I run the 3rd pair? Can I use the surround channels to accomplish this or is there some other way?
What would be recommended?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
