Do Zones 2 and 3 have to be Bi-amped?

no none of the zones have to be bi amped

How do I set stereo mode?

with your remote go to program button and scroll thu each one till you see 2 channel mode and that would be your 2 speaker stereo mode

All of my program selection are “not available” any thoughts?

I still do not know all the programming. I work a lot and have not had time to review all the programming. But what I found out is that it was a lot easier to do it on the App. I downloaded the Yamaha MusicCast Controller app on my iPad and programmed it. I use the iPad instead of the remote.

I tried the program and all programs are not available. any ideas?
