Multi zone audio output

I will be using this unit to play video from a USB hard drive through the HDMI cable. I would also like to use it for playing MP3 / M3U playlists and send the audio out to a Zone 2 amp.  My AV amp requires a analog audio signal in to send an analog audio signal out to the zone 2 amp. Does this unit output analog and digital audio simultaneously, or will I have to go into the setup menu and change it back and forth manually?

Thanks

Hi there, you’ll have to manually change the output on the settings when needed.

I asked this same question here:

and got the opposite answer.  And I confirmed that it works.
