Setting Up Multi Zone on DENON AVR3806?

Question

I am having trouble using the Multi Zone feature. According to DENON I can use the Surround Back channel, if not being used, to be assigned as the Speaker level output for Zone2. I have the Power Amp assign to Zone2 and the speakers are connected to the Surround Back channel. I have Zone2 power On, and the source selected, but I am not getting any sound at all. Anyone have this receiver or one similar with the same capability? Any ideas?

Answer 1

Did you rase the volume?

The Volume is set to off by default. You have to rase the volume while the receiver is in zone 2 select mode or from the remote while it's in zone 2 mode.

If thats not your problem... Did your run analog audio from each device you want to use for Zone 2.

Zone 2 doesn't convert the digital audio to go out Zone 2. So you have to run Analog audio (the Red and White RCA cables).

Let me know how thing's work out. I use these receiver's every now and then. That should take care of your problem.
