Thanks very much for the welcome. I read the review and it was glowing to say the least.
I already have a DVD player and the only time I really listen to the radio is in my car. (although satelite radio could change that? who knows...I'm waiting for more of a component-style satelite radio piece for the home before buying that, but that's another topic entirely.)
The YPS-1 looks great. I live in a rental home, and to set this up seems much easier to me than trying to perform the required surgeries to mount all the speakers and such. (My landlord would not like that too much I'm sure)
It also looks like it would be easier to move the thing if you wanted as rearranging the furniture is something that happens sometimes here, and who wants to redo all the speaker mounts to do that? Not me.
So far my only concern is that I really wanted to have some sound in multiple rooms. From what I read, this is called zoning I think. This unit wouldn't offer surround sound to multiple rooms of course, and I don't see any feature to output something to another zone like a standard receiver has. Or am I missing how to do that? I would basically want to be able to have CD music in the living room, office and maybe bedroom. The living room through the YPS-1 and the other rooms with smaller satelite type speakers. (not necessarily all at once either. Most likely just one room at a time would be desired)
Maybe there is a way to just hook speakers up directly to the CD player or buy one that I can do that. (Do CD players exist that do zoning without a receiver?) Sounds from the other components wouldn't be needed in the other rooms.
Input would be appreciated, but what I really want to know is how to do this type of output. Any ideas?
