I didn't even think about the marantz.
I will just connect the sources to the marantz, loop 3
together and on the third one use the audio outs to the
connect to the receivers.
I also want to make sure
that you can control individual volume on these via IR.
IR is the only way to control these, but there is an IR jack on the back.
Each zone's volume is individually controlled (3 zones per amp X 3 ID codes = 9 separate code sets), and there is a set of global commands.
I've actually used the IR routing on the RP-6 (without using the Marantz ID codes) to give me global control over separate amps.
For example, I set up a very large outdoor area that used all 3 zone amps on one Marantz, and also 3 indoor zones that could be controlled separately, or combined as one large zone. Using IR routing and global commands gives you a great deal of flexibility.
