Hi All,
I'm currently re-wiring my house and installing a AV receiver. I appreciate there is a lot of information on wiring the speakers to stay within the resistance, and I think I can work this out to not fry the AV receiver.
However, what I'm looking to do to reduce on the cost of the AV receiver is to have a couple of linked zones with volume control.
Zone 1 - Lounge
Zone 2 - Kitchen with volume control to garden
Zone 3 - En-suite with volume control bedroom
The AV receiver I am looking to purchase is: Yamaha RX-A2030 Aventage AV Receiver
My concern is that when I adjust the volume is that it will adjust the speakers linked to that zone. I.e. when I turn the volume up to get it playing outside, it will turn it down in the room. It is likely I will have to wire with a combination of series and parallell if this helps.
Is there another method such as an on/off switch that doesn't affect the resistance and therefore the volume (although this is not my preference) or am I wrong in assuming the volume will change?
Thank you in advance.
