During renovation I have run a speaker line from the receiver to the back of the house and there I added a volume control knob with 2 outside speakers.I installed the additional wire to Zone 2 of the receiver. When I play zone 2 only one speaker works, does a sound volume control only support one speaker
The connections should tell you that. If it has sockets for two sets of speakers and two inputs for the sound then it will be a stereo model.
What you can do to test the system is to disconnect the speaker connections to the receiver and use a 1.5 volt battery connected across each speaker cable end. For only a brief time. At the other end you should hear the speaker pop. I suspect you will need two people to do this. Make certain the volume control unit is on full.
If you don't hear the sound of the pop the cable is either faulty or disconnected somewhere.

make sure you have not wired from box to speaker then to another speaker ,you should wire from switch box to one speaker then from box to another speaker, this presents the right load to the amp, if you have done this you may have a faulty switch box.
hope this helps.

i thinck that you have internal short circuit in wiring of zone 2. and you must fix this wiring first befor you go ahead -or you disable it by disconnecting it-and the rest of the system will work fine.
SOURCE: How do I connect my outside speakers to play?
The onkyo should still have a speaker A/B selector in the menu.
Check on the back panel for speaker A/B.
If it has or you decide to use Zone 2 you will need to set the sound programme to "stereo" so the rears and centre do not work.
You can still use a digital source.
You should be able to display the amp's menu on the screen.
Hook up "monitor out" (Yellow) via RCA connector to one of the "A/V inputs" (yellow) on the tv, this will show you a display of the menu and will make it eaiser to navigate.

i just dont know how to put on zone 2.... its like i put it in zone 2 and nothin happens... can someone help me this is starting to **** me off..
SOURCE: RX-V665 Yamaha reciever has been working great.
You may find a solution by doing some of the things I have tried - see below
I recently puchased this model to replace an older Yamaha system that also had this shut-off problem. The new RX665 system has the same problem but I check the impedance setting using the instruction in the manaul anyway. The problem persists. I have check all speaker wire to make sure nothing was touching. I did find one wire touching on the center speaker but the problem persist.
Since the problem followed me when I moved and with a new amp, I am beginning to think I am have a speaker that's causing this - maybe the sub.
