    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.

        No OSD with Denon 3808
        by Pez
        The other day my OSD stopped working. Its odd because all of my video is routed through the 3808 (mix of HDMI and component) and all sources are working fine. I use an HDMI cable for video to TV and checked all connections. Since everything is working fine and the OSD was working recently I am not...

        How I've added HDMI 1.3 high bitrate audio decoding to my Parasound C1
        by Chris D
        Quite a thread title, I guess. Perhaps I should subtitle it, "or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb... I mean, theater."

        As the title says, I've added HDMI 1.3 audio decoding to my home theater, centered around the Parasound C1 home theater controller. As...
