Make sure the remote is set on the correct device display for the component you are trying to control. Make sure that the buttons have not been erased or learned over.

Make sure that the DMC-1 front panel receiver window is not obstructed.

Check that the front or rear IR receivers have not been turned off in the OSD CONTROL menu.

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.
