Hi, i'm new to the forum.
I have 2 Denon receivers, the AVR-2309CI, and the AVR-1709CI. The AVR-2309CI is my home theater receiver with a 7.1 Definitive Technology speaker setup assigned to it (Zone 1). The Zone 2 out of the 2309CI is going into the 1709CI. I need help with the speaker configuration/setup of the 1709CI.
The 1709CI needs to control 3 pairs of Definitive Technology speakers (6 speakers total) in 2 zones.
Thanks for the help!
Pete
I have 2 Denon receivers, the AVR-2309CI, and the AVR-1709CI. The AVR-2309CI is my home theater receiver with a 7.1 Definitive Technology speaker setup assigned to it (Zone 1). The Zone 2 out of the 2309CI is going into the 1709CI. I need help with the speaker configuration/setup of the 1709CI.
The 1709CI needs to control 3 pairs of Definitive Technology speakers (6 speakers total) in 2 zones.
- The first zone (inside) is the Kitchen/Dining Room that has 2 pairs (4 speakers total) of Def Tech DI 5.5R in-ceilings speakers. I want all four speakers to be in the same Zone (let's call it Zone 1).
- The second zone (outside) is the backyard that has one pair (2 speakers total) of Def Tech AW 5500 outdoor speakers. I want both speakers to be in the same Zone (Zone 2), but a different zone than the inside zone.
- There are 6 speakers, and the back of the Denon receiver has the typical 7.1 speaker post configuration. Which speakers do I plug into which posts on the back of the receiver?
- Do i plug them in arbitrarily, like, 2 speakers in the front, 2 speakers in the rear, and 2 speakers in the surround?
- Does it matter which speaker go into which posts? I would think so, meaning the 2 outside speakers have to be plugged into the receiver so that the reciver can send a different source (if desired) to Zone 2 (these speakers), right?
- What audio mode should I set this receiver to? Meaning, I don't want it to "seperate" out the signal into surrond, right? Do I set it to stereo or mono (sorry if this is a stupid question)?
- What is the best practice for each pair of speakers in terms of what audio gets "sent to them"? Meaning for the 2 speaker in the kitchen for example, is one speaker all "right" and the other speaker all "left", or do both speaker get both "right and left"?
Thanks for the help!
