Racer;
Did you connect your source to the zone2 via analog or digital? Check your OSD and make sure you properly assigned the input type.
I should have my 5805 up and running again in early April and along with a series of followup tests and articles for Audyssey, and upgrades to the 5805.
Gene,
Hey, thanks for the reply. I appreciate your desire to help.
I have an Audio Amp hooked up to the Zone 2 Analog connections. I have many sources, some analog-only (REPLAY TV), some digital-only (DVD) and some with both analog & digital (HTPC). I do not believe there is a way to tell the 5805 that Zone 2 has Analog only connections, except to just connect it to the Zone 2 analog preouts.
When I first turn on Zone 2 and set it to HTPC input, then Page 1 of the Zone 2 OSD has the following settings:
MODE - Stereo
SIGNAL - PCM
fs 48 khz
These settings result in NO sound from the HTPC in Zone 2. One way I have found that corrects the problem EVERY time is to switch Zone 2 to the DVD source, then switch back to the HTPC. Once it works, then the OSD Settings are identical to when it doesn't work. Note that this solution only works if there is a DVD in the DVD Player.
Sounds like you don't have a 5805 to help me debug this problem. Hopefully, someone else that visits this forum does. I thought of calling Denon, but they are so big that I figure it may be difficult, if not impossible, to locate someone that actually knows something about this rather indepth issue. Perhaps there is someone at Denon that you can refer me too?
Thanks again for a great in-depth review of this wonderful unit. Although I am impressive, the sole reason I bought this beast is to use the MultiZone HDTV feature.
