Hi All,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with my current setup.
I have changed my setup from being a 7.1 surround setup to a 2.1 setup using Monitor Audio RX6 Towers and RXW12 SW. All seems to be working fine on that front, - the MA RX6s are Bi-Amped into my Pioneer VSX2021 using the Main L&R speaker outputs and the Surround Rear L&R Speaker Outputs.
The Amp has it's speaker settings set to BiAmp mode and only has Left, Right and SW Speakers registered on the Amp Setup.
I have another external Pioneer Stereo (x2 output) Amplifier. This Amp has 2 Auxiliary speakers hooked up to it in different parts of the house. I have my main VSX2021 connected to this AMP via the ZONE 2 Pre-Outs on the REAR. I have it connected to the CD input of the Stereo Amp (also tried LINE).
However, whenever I switch on Zone 2 and select a source, nothing seems to be output from my 2021??? The Stereo Amp plays nothing... I was able to get ZONE 2 working on my 2021 when I had the Aux Speakers plugged into the Surround Rear Speaker Outputs, but I have lost the ability to use these since I am Bi-Amping my RX6s, plus I want the A/B functionality of the Stereo Amp.
It's almost as if the PRE-OUTs on the back aren't sending any signal out??
I hope someone can help me with this, as I almost have it all completed..
Would also appreciate it if anyone has any ideas maybe on some setup I might have overlooked going to 2.1 etc... I take it the Amp will know what to do with a full DTS-HD-MA track even though I am only using 2.1???
Thanks a lot...
Ian.
