    Zone 2 Revisited

    OK... So hooking up Zone 2 now.

    The question I have is as follows ... I have the Sat receiver and DVD all hooked up by S-Video & Toslink and Component & Digital Coax respectively.

    Now if I understand the procedure properly I need to run a separate set of analogue leads for sound from both sources to get the input required to pass through to Zone 2.

    This might sound like a novice question but can I hook up the second set of analogue leads onto the same input channels as I used for the DVD and Sat Receiver. I.e. so for the DVD for example I will have component & composite and digital coax and stereo phono inputs all inputing to the one channel (e.g. Video2). If so how would the RSP know which video input to use for that source? The audio is assignable in the menu but if I assign coax what happens to the stereo phono inputs ?

    I think what was meant in another thread is I would run the analogue leads to a second set of inputs from the sources to 2 DIFFERENT and unused inputs on the RSP and have these pass through to Zone 2. If this is the case then I have hopelessly to few available inputs.

    If the latter is the case then Zone 2 needs some homework. Each channel then should have its own analogue Zone 2 video and audio inputs. This may result in a whole bunch of additional RCA inputs on the back panel - but what else can you do ?

    Any advice welcome

    You will run everything to the same video input. For the main zone for audio, if a digital signal is present it will automatically use it instead of the analog. Zone 2 will always use the analog.

    For video, the main zone goes in order from component, s-video, then composite. So if you have component connected it will send component out. Otherwise it will go down the line until it finds an active input type to convert to component. Zone 2 will always use the composite.

    Basically, the analog video and audio are hard coded to that input, but if something better is assigned AND has a signal, it will use that.

        What is the max cable length zone 2 will output video?

        I have a 15m run ... is this too long ? Currently picture is b&w with what looks like some interference. Trying to locate problem.

        Regards Steve.

          15m isn't too long at all. Keep looking!

            Zone 2 sorted ... thanks!

            One thing though 1068 remains quite warm with zone on and with main in standby. Is this normal?

              Yes. For all intents and purposes, the RSP remains "On'' even if it's powered off with Zone 2 left on. I have the 1066, but I always manually shut down Zone 2 before powering off the unit.

                by marshahu_cr
                From my previous post it seems that I have too high expectations to get a receiver with two 8CH analogue inputs for under £400! :cry:

                Is there a device like an 8CH Analogue input splitter? - the idea being I hook this into the one 8CH input on the receiver and then hook up my two computers,...

                RSX-1055 and zone 2 question
                by srinathalapati
                Folks,

                I own a RSX-1055 and I am planning to buy an amplifier (Audio Source AMP100) to power outdoor speakers. I was reading the RSX-1055 manual about zone 2 operation and it confused me a bit. I am looking for some clarification from the experts here. On page 25 in the manual it says:...
