This is an interesting requirement. I bought a new receiver to control my outdoor speakers too.
After using the receiver for a week I decided to return it. I decided to have a home theater reeinver for home theater and then and use a separate stereo receiver to control the outdoor speakers. I've found that having two separate components is easier to operate, especially for the spouse. At the time I set up my system (2003?) it was less expensive to buy two units rather than get a receiver with dual room capability.
Since my living room is next to my deck with outdoor speakers...the two receivers are near each other. I connected a line from outputs of the home theater receiver to the inputs on the receiver for the outdoor speakers...so I can listen to TV outside....plus you can see the TV through the window.
