I asked these to Denon but did not really get a clear answer:
Can I play Spotify (Connect)/AirPlay etc. via Zone 2/3 analog output (speakers directly connected) when zone 1 is playing back HDMI video (TiVo) to connected TV?

2. Can the Zone 2/3 be part of the Heos control/configuration so it can be a Heos endpoint for playback separate from Zone 1?

3. Can zone 2/3 volume be controlled from the iOS remote control application / HEOS application?

Does anyone have any first hand experience with these units? The 3x00 through 7x00 to know what they can and cannot do around this?
I want to play spotify or airplay outside on the Zone 2 speakers and control it from phone while Zone 1 (Main) inside has the TiVo on it for TV watching inside with 7.1/5.1 audio.
I think the control part is ok as can just use the Spotify app or iOS apps to control the play / skip etc and maybe even volume, but want to make sure I can have these going separately.
If not the Denon then any other receivers that can do this? Need their US versions though.
