Receiver with zone two. Possible to control with C4?

[Khoi]

We are installing a Denon AVR 887, it is a 7.1-Channel HDMI Receiver. The Main room has a 5.1 surround sound system and the other two speakers are installed in another area, for the zone two feature.

I am just wondering is it beyond the capabilities of the control 4 to seperatly control the speakers in the other room? I know if we install a Speaker Point or a MiniTouch it would solve our issue.

I was messing around with the reciever audio end-points to the other room but no luck.

Thanks agian,

Khoi

oh yea we are using an htc

Sure you can do this,

treat zone 2 as a seperate amplifier and write the drivers for zone 2 seperatly,

if controlled by IR you can control 'both amps' from the same IR port.

Or control zone 1 with rs232 and zone 2 with IR.

This in effect is tricking the software, im sure there is a different way to do it but this works for me.

I figured it out.

I just created custom buttons, and assign the right IR codes to the buttons.

Thanks Danny anyways, I will try that next time.
