Help required with Presence Speakers?

[dm_4u]

I have hooked up Presence Speakers to my Yamaha RX-V2400, (making it 7.1), and have turned them on in the software in all the places that I should, however I am experiencing a slight problem.

Even though I have turned off the Zone 2 amp, the Zone 2 and 3 lights remain on in the Yammies display and the display does not show the two little presence lines, (indicating they are connected and on), above the "fl c fr" symbols.

Yes I am using Cinema DSP to check the sound, (several different ones, like DD enhanced, Adventure, Sci-Fi and Spectacle), and nadda.

Now if I do a test sound, they are included in the test and yes I have 7 speakers selected and Presence-Yes/SB-No.

Any ideas???

Also, with this setup, is it possible to play DPLIIx or is that just for 7.1 with Surround Back?

I don't know about the display features of your 2400. If it works like the one on my 750, then it is not enough to have the speakers "connected and on", you also have to have an input source for them selected - so in your case there has to be some 7.1 input I guess.

There is no real 7.1 input.

My understanding is that they are supposed to work when Yamaha's: "Cinema DSP" modes have been selected, (ie Adventure, Sci-Fi, Enhanced etc), thereby enabling their proprietary software and emulating 7.1

If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

The (750) manual says that those indicators will work when using the SPEAKER LEVEL setup ...?? Makes no sense to me.

My point exactly...(the 2400 manual is the same)
