Denon Multisource Help (1 Viewer)

[Anthony Moore]

So I have my Denon 3802 hooked up to my main 5.1 system; and stereo speakers in my bedroom (hooked into the surround back/multisource speaker outputs.

I can get my bedroom speakers to work with the CD source only when the main speakers are set to CD as well. I thought the whole point was that I can listen to 2 sources at once.

I know how to turn the volume up and down on the stereo set..it works fine when the mains are set on the same source.

If I have the remote set on MULTI and I hit CD, on the screen it says MULTI CD..which indicates that its doing what I want..which is keeping the mains on some other source while switching the multi to CD..but its not! no sound from the stereo speakers.

Am I missing something?

Are you feeding the CD through the analog connections???


If you are feeding it digitally it won't work. The 2nd zone sources are only available from analog input.

 

[Anthony Moore]

yes, its analog.,,like i said, it works when the mains are on CD as well.

That is exactly what would happen if you were feeding the CD by digital instead of analog. Not really sure, I have set up the zones with that AVR before and not had issues with it though.
