I recently purchased a AVR-991 AV system from Denon. It is equipped to do two zones. I wanted to use a radio shack splitter to be able to connect the room speakers in my house to the system and be able to turn on and off certain rooms using the zone 2. I thought i had it set up right but i ended up blowing the amp.....how did i figure out how many speakers i can attach to zone two without blowing the zone two amp? i currently have 4 rooms that i want to be able to connect to zone two.
Generally you can only run two speakers. We need more details of what you are trying to do. How many speaker and where plus their impedance, types of volume controls and switches.
Generally you need impedance matching volume controls in the remote rooms and or an impedance matching speaker selector.
In general receivers are less than ideal for this application and a multichannel distribution amp connected to the zone two, unpowered, is a better way to go.
