receiver TX-NR717

Coud you Help me in the following questions:

1 - in relation to the TX-NR616 receivers TX-NR717 and has both zones 2 and 3.
1.1 - the three zones (1, 2, 3) are independent? I can hear different sounds in the 3 simultaneously, ie at the same time?
1.2 - the outputs of which are amplified?

2 - In these receivers, I can hear music type MP3 through the door USB?

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Correct- in relation to the TX-NR 616- the TX-NR 717 has both POWERED ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 operation. You canplay the same source or up to 3 independent audio sources for the 3 maximum audio listening areas (as long as the source is either NET, USB, TUNER inputs or any input with an RCA ANALOG audio connection). Please note that digital audio sources are NOT compatible with ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 outputs. The use of POWERED ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 are amplified through the TX-NR 717 receiver itself; but using the ZONE 2/ ZONE 3 LINE OUT only provides a FIXED AUDIO OUTPUT and must utilize an external amplifier or speaker selector module with variable volume control.

Lastly; yes- using the frontal or rear USB ports on the receiver- you can connect and hear mp3 audio from your mp3 player or audio device.
