Newbie needs Help

I have a Pioneer 56 Thxi integrated reciever it will not allow both 7.1 and multi room one or the other.I like my 7.1 so how can I take some other output like cd tape phono etc and feed it into an old Yamaha reciever which can drive my speakers in another room?? I have tried cd out, tape vcr nothing seems to work????

Any Help greatly appreciated

thanks for all of the responses I've tried them all and had a modicum of success, I can get sound from the tuner to the other rooms but not from the dvd player which is a 47ai elite player. I even connected the 2 channel out to the Yamaha and no dice. btw I am conneccted from the dvd to rvcr via a firewire cable

Have you tried an analog connection from the 47 to the receiver? I'm guessing the copy protection for SACD is working on everything sent thru the firewire.

Eureka the Eagle has landed. I finally figured it out.
I had to also hook up the 5.1 analogs from the dvd to the rcvr. Then I ran 2 rca's from the players 2ch out to the second rcvr's
vcr inputs then when playing back sacd's I have to use the analog multi channel in instead of the digital firewire inputs. Then I ran another set of rca's from the vcr out of the main rcvr to the "cd in" on the second rcvr and that handles the tuner or anything else coming through the main amp. Yeah
