If you have a second speaker zone (kitchen, patio, etc) that you want to play the same audio as your living room, this "Zone B" receiver is the one you want.
This Yamaha is actually one of the only Receivers on the market that has a "Zone B" feature, which copies the audio from your living room even from a digital source.
However if you only want your second speaker zone to play music and radio (analog/stereo audio only), you can get a regular Receiver with a "Zone 2" feature, but beware it the second zone may not be able to play audio from your cable box and Blu-ray/DVD Player.
We have this receiver powering 5.1 speakers in a living room and 2 speakers on a patio.
When we are watching sports, a movie, or playing music in the living room, the sound carries outside to the patio when "Zone B" is switched on.
Using a phone or tablet connected to the home Wifi, the free Yamaha app can be used to turn on/off the patio speakers and adjust volume.
If you need inexpensive living room speakers, a Yamaha NS-SP1800BL speaker package is on sale for $133.
The reviews are very positive.

If you need in-wall or white speaker cable, Monoprice sells some of the best quality 16-gauge in-wall white speaker cable for about $15 to $20 per 100-feet. |
