1. The manual says you need separate RF 'receivers' in each room with it's own zone. Why? I don't get what these RF devices actually do. Are they to control power amps in these rooms? How? |
Not sure about that. I'd have to look at the manual, but I'm short on time today.

2. We currently have two sets of cheap-o wireless speakers. Both have remote controls. Will the expensive RF remote (like the Harmony 890) work with these? Does it have a 'learn' feature that works with pretty much -any- remote controllable device or would we need to get new wireless speakers?

If the speakers are remote controlled via IR, then the Harmony should be able to do it. It definitely has a "learn" function. In general, if you start to learn a "new device" that isn't immediately or obviously listed in its database, it will ask "are you trying to add an XYZ device?" after you enter three commands or so. I've had it get those right for relatively obscure devices like the Chase RLC-1 and the Sirius Sportster receiver. If it does not find it in the database at all, you can still add your own thing and "learn" all the commands manually. While I have not tried this with every device out there, I have not run into any device that was not controllable with the 890 (IR-based devices, of coruse).
