Any way to power a third zone on TX-NR609?

Just got a 609 which has zone 2 outputs. I only use a 5.1 speaker system in my tv room. Is there a way I can assign the unused 7.1 outputs to power a third room? Couldn't figure it out after some tinkering. Thanks in advance.

Hi cdfree,
Unfortunately, this receiver can only do 2 zone, so it would not be possible to have a 3rd room. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you for choosing Onkyo.

Actually there may be a way if you plan for Zone 2 and 3 to play the same audio. The powered output for zone 2 can be used in one room and the non-powered outputs for zone 2 can be used for zone 3 but you will need a separate amplifier for this.
