Yamaha RX-A3060 zone question

[Twhit]

trying to figure out how to get sound to my wired zone 2 speakers? I have a rotel power amp going into zone out/Pre out-zone2/F presence on back of receiver.
Just playing music through air play , can I get the music to zone two speakers without music being played in main room?

Thanks!

Found this in your manual on p.105:
You cannot use an external amplifie
r for Zone2 when the ZONE OUT/PRE
OUT jacks are set to output front
presence channel audio in “Power Amp Assign” (p.131) in
the “Setup” menu. Also, yo
u cannot use an external
amplifier for Zone3 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are configured to output rear presence channel audio.

Yep, I found this out only after buying the RX-A3060. If you are already using front and rear presence connections then you cannot also have zone 2/3 audio

Dang, I am running the full 11 ch. plus two subs. I guess I'll have to hook up my old receiver with my Apple airport express to get music in Zone 2/ second room.

or you could just use a MusicCast speaker in the other room. it is an extra expense and you obviously need WIFI coverage int that area.
