I'm new to the forum as of today, and I joined in the hopes of solving my multi-zone problem. I can see from past posts that my issue has been touched on multiple times already, but never really resolved. the Denon has 7 discrete 110w channels. I have a 5.1 setup in the livingroom and a pair of speakers outside connected to the sound back speaker outputs, and these outputs have been assigned as multi-zone. I have a Cambridge Audio music server which is sending an analog signal to the Denon, thus the issue is not related to the inability for multi-zone to handle a digital signal. I can get the music server to play outside, but only when it is also playing inside. As soon as I try to play a different source inside (TV or DVD), the outside speakers go dead. I am not interested in the separate amp option for the outside speakers. I believe I have this wired correctly and the Denon setup assignments correct. I think there is some trick to how to use the remote that I'm doing wrong. As I'm sure many of you know, the Denon user manual is cryptic and vauge at best. Please help.
