    Denon 3808 issue - no audio on Zone 2

    Recently picked up a denon 3808 and am having a problem with the audio from digital sources (HDMI) on zone 2. When using the tuner on zone 2 it works fine but when I try something like my cable box or HD-DVD player connected via HDMI I get no audio output on the outdoor speakers. One of the reasons I got the 3808 was its ability to play digital sources in zone 2/3. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the digital connection has to be optical or coax but that doest seem to make a lot of sense to me. I cant find anything in the menu or manual, any ideas?

    The digital connection has to be a Toslink or coax for it to work in the second zone. You cannot get digital audio from HDMI in the second zone.

      Bummer - so much for the one cable solution. At least its only one cable and not two but Denon should be more clear about that on thier website.

      Thank Eric - was driving me nuts that I couldnt figure it out.
