OK, I admit it...I'm just as confounded by the Denon manual as everyone else. I have an issue with Zone 2 on my AVR-2308. I'm using it for a pair of speakers in another room. It works fine when the input is set for the tuner, but none of the other inputs result in any sound at all. I've been through the manual and the menus several times and I can't find anything that solves this problem.
Any ideas?

Joe, without undergoing the horrors of studying the Denon manual(which I've suffered through for years), I'll just toss out the idea that the Zone 2 may operate only with analog signals, which the FM tuner supplies, of course. Are the other source materials which you've been trying to use all been digital in nature?

Any ideas? Other zones don't work with HDMI input. So make sure you're using analog (I've been told coax/optical works as well) inputs.

I'd be amazed if it worked with any digital signal at all.

Thanks for the input. Wouldn't it be great if Denon mentioned that in the manual somewhere?

Geeeez, I've bought my receiver (Denon 2809) and blue ray, now looking at speakers. I'm not looking forward to the setting up when the time comes. Lots of people say the same thing about the Denons....geat product/poor manual. Ummm, maybe we need a manual to figure out THE manual!

This forum is the manual to figure out the manual.

If I didn't have experience with my Marantz; didn't have this forum; didn't have AVS, I would have been royally screwed. Marantz's manual wasn't too bad but Denon's is really awful!

I'd be amazed if it worked with any digital signal at all. That's what I thought, but someone pointed out that optical and coax digital sources work (but haven't personally verified it)
