After turning on zone 2, no sound came from the speakers connected to zone 2. When pressing the level button, a message came across the screen saying that ''zone 2 power not activated''. What do I need to do to activate zone 2?

Hi,

U cant get an amplified out put form ur av receiver for zone 2. speaker a A and B is the same out put of frond left and right. it is not ZONE 2 output. U can get only a pre output for zone to from this receiver. U nee a separate stereo amplifier for using zone 2 .put an amplifier in the other room, connect the zone 2 pre out to it. And do the following setup in ur av receiver .

The receiver shows check speaker cable because its amplifier minimum impedance is 8 ohms . when u connect other speaker in speaker the total impedance will come under 4 ohms. Speaker b is not ZONE 2 in this amplifier

Have just got a 607 myself, but it may apply to your model too.
Press the RECEIVER button followed by SETUP. On the TV screen a menu should appear and select SPEAKER SETUP then SPEAKER SETTINGS and set the powered Zone speakers to ACT.
SETUP will then return you to normal. Note: some other surround speakers will be switched off when ACT is on and ACT won't come on if Bi-amp is used.

Setting the RX-V861 remote control to operate Zone 2:

1. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object and press the [CODE SET] button RX-V861 remote control. The[TRANSMIT INDICATOR]on the remote should flash twice.
2. Using the [NUMERICAL KEY PAD] on the remote and key in 9992, the [TRANSMIT INDICATOR] should flash.

Assigning the receivers internal amp for Zone 2:

1. Set the remote control selector to [AMP]. (Located to the right of the volume buttons on the Remote.).
2. Press the [SET MENU]button on the remote control.
3. Arrow down to Manual Setup and press the Enter button on the remote control.
4. Arrow to the [SOUND MENU] option and press the [ENTER] button on the remote control.
5. Arrow to Speaker Set and press the [ENTER] button on the remote control.
6. Arrow to the EXTRA SP ASSIGN and select ZONE2
7. Press the [RETURN] button on the remote control to exit out and return to the Manual Setup.

NOTES: There is an option for setting the Maximum Volume and Initial Volume in the Zone Set menu.

• Max Volume: This is an optional feature but isrecommended to prevent the accidental change in volume levels thatcould damage the speakers and receiver.
• Initial Volume: This is also a great feature that would seamlessly start the volume level for the second or third zone at the desired level.

We do not recommend using any Speaker Selector boxes to enable more than the recommended number of speakers per terminal.
Controlling Zone 2 using the RX-V861 remote control:

1. If the Main Zone on the receiver is on, press the [POWER BUTTON]down and while holding that button down press the [PHONO]/[**] button on the remote. The [TRANSMIT INDICATOR] will light up.
2. You will not be able to use the following buttons on the remote: (Pressing any other button will cause the remote to exit Zone 2 mode. [POWER], [STANDBY], [VOLUME], [MUTE] and the [INPUT SELECTOR] buttons [DVD], [CD], etc.)

There are the instructions as written straight from yamaha. If you need any further assistance please let me know.
Thank you,

Hi

could you send me the model of your yamaha.

Please use the add a comment link, as if you accept the solution I will no longer be able to respond to you.

Thanks

time to reset the microprocessor. See page 87 in manual.
1) switch off the unit using the main unit's power operation (small power button)
2) hold the PURE DIRECT button and DIRECT button at same time and turn the main unit's power operation on.
3) wait for entire display to flash in 1 second intervals

now the speakers need to be set up again but zone 2 will be working. i suspect a power surge causes the microprocesser to be corrupted. i put a power surge protector and have not had problems (lately).

you have to change the power amp assignment to zone 2, you must also have Analog audio connections to the Denon from your devices.
Try this put your remote in the zone 2 mode, select tuner in zone 2 and turn zone 2 volume up to -10

I know this is old and im sure you have it solved by now, but it might be a good idea to check the amp setting of Zone 2. Is it switched to Internal or external? I remember something strange about this amp in that when you change from using the rear surrounds and go to use them in Zone 2, it resets the amp setting or something like that. Hope it helps if you still need it.

HI pull down the flap on your amp and you will see buttons for zone 2 settings,press zone2 then level up this should work.

hope this helps .
