Denon AVR X-3800H pre outs

[Mikec1231]

If I buy the Denon AVR X 3800H can I use it for my home theater 7.1 and then pre out to my old Sony AVR SN 1030 to drive just music to my built in ceiling and outdoor speakers from my 4K Apple TV? Or, do I need to buy another multi channel amp to hook in my speakers. I am trying to get whole house audio for different rooms. All my speakers are ended together in my family room along with my cat5 home internet. sony diagram attached
thanks

It should work for just stereo zone 2. I found this that addresses your question.

Specifically there is a zone 2 preout you can use to hook up an external amplifier without compromising your existing 7 channel setup.
