ZONE 2 Not Working

See pages 43 and 55

Zone 2 is set“disabled”from the factory, so you must use the OSD Zone 2 menu on page XX to enable it when you are ready to use it. This enables Zone 2, but it does not turn it on.

Once Zone 2 is enabled, use the remote control’s Zone 2 device button, followed by the Power button to turn Zone 2 on. Alternatively, press the front panel Zone 2 button, followed by the main Power button. The front panel (left hand side) Zone 2 Power light will be on when the zone is active (i.e. engaged and on). The Zone 2 Adjust light turns on when the zone is being adjusted. For example, if you turn Zone 2 on with the remote, and adjust the volume, Zone 2’s volume changes, and the Zone 2 Adjust light will be on.
