Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Onkyo 808 and Emo XPA-3

if your not using 7.1 (meaning your running 5.1) you can turn on zone 2 (using the zone activation button on the remote)each time you turn the receiver on you will also have to use that button after (or before) you turn off the receivers power or zone 2 will stay active and the amp will stay on because the 12v trigger is still active. if your running a 7.1 system, you will have no other choice but to unplug the trigger and simply press the amp power button. when i had an 805 i had the same issue but there was a work around to that. the 805 had a switched receptacle that would power on and off when the receiver was turned on and off. i connected a 12v power supply to that and used a trigger cable from the 12v power supply and that's how i got my XPA-5 to work with the 805 and still maintained a 7.1 system. unfortunately, the 808 dosen't have a receptacle on it.
