I have a Sony DA4ES receiver running surround speakers in one room. I have two (curently unconnected) speakers in a nearby room.
I know the Sony has a second-room function, but I thought that was for running a different device in a different room, like powering a CD player in a bedroom while watching a DVD in the living room.
All I want to do is run the stereo speakers as a second set of speakers off the Sony.
So, if I'm playing, say a multichannel SACD through the Sony receiver, hook up the two speakers in the next room and switch to those speakers will I lose three channels of information? If so what's the way around that?
The DA4ES manual doesn't even mention speaker set "A" and "B" use (although there is a switch on the front for that). In fact the Sony manual is awfully thin and sketchy on setup stuff, in my opinion.
... I really love the receiver otherwise
