I wouldn't run the other rooms off the 601 amp.. do like geraldb said and grab another amp maybe you have an old receiver you can use and run the zone2 outs off the 601 into the tape in of the other receiver and then attach the 4 speaker selector to the 2 main channels and set the receiver to two channel. Make sure it is on Tape-1 or whatever you ran zone2 outs to and let her rip. The 601 is a good unit but the amp isn't good enough to run the surround and a couple of rooms. This will save the 601 receiver in the long run.. Or you could get an installer from here or http://www.integrationpros.com and we can come out and make sure it gets done right without you blowing an amp hooking this equipment up wrong. It could save you money by spending a single hour rate... good luck and have fun..
