Denon AVR-587 w/ Zone 2 issues

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hello all,

I just purchased 2 Mirage out door speakers in which I want to be powerd off my Denon AVR-587. I currently have 5 Polk speakers and sub running with it also. So I thought that using the Zone 2 feature to power my outdoor speakers would fit the bill. I hooked them up to the Zone 2 connections and assigned the power amp to zone 2. NO AUDIO whatsoever. I have messed with this thing for 3 hours, the manual is horrible, gives no help. I want to feed the Zone 2 with either my Sirius or Ipod which has I believe just a plain old analog connection. When I scroll thru my status display it says Zone 2 is at --- DBL. But it won't let me change that anywheres. Is there anyone out there that can help me. I'm not to far off from sending this unit thru the window. Thanks in advance.

The zone 2 light is on, and the remote has zone 2 on/off. Which does exactly that, turns it on and off, but still no audio.

So with the front of remote bottom switches set to audio/zone 2, zone 2 light turned on, what does the front of the unit do if you then hit volume up, or use the input selector to change sources?

You know, I just relized after your 2nd post that the selector is on the front of the remote. I thought at first you were talking about the zone 2 on/off buttons on the back. After flipping those 2 switches, it works like a charm! Thank you for the help, as I was close to taking an axe to the unit!
