ZONE 2 Not Working
See pages 43 and 55
Zone 2 is set "disabled" from the factory, so you must use the OSD Zone 2 menu on page XX
to enable it when you are ready to use it. This enables Zone 2, but it does not turn it on.
Once Zone 2 is enabled, use the remote control's Zone 2 device button, followed by the
Power button to turn Zone 2 on. Alternatively, press the front panel Zone 2 button, followed by
the main Power button. The front panel (left hand side) Zone 2 Power light will be on when the
zone is active (i.e. engaged and on). The Zone 2 Adjust light turns on when the zone is being
adjusted. For example, if you turn Zone 2 on with the remote, and ad-just the volume, Zone
2's volume changes, and the Zone 2 Adjust light will be on.
Zone 2 does not play digital inputs
Zone 2 can play analog sources independent of what is playing in the Main Zone. It cannot
play from a digital-only source unless that input is selected and playing in the Main Zone. To
play a source such as a DVD player in Zone 2 independent of the Main Zone, make sure you
connect the player's L/R analog audio output to the DMC-1 too.
External Amplifier(s) Shut Down (Often or Prematurely)
Check the following:
Make sure each speaker's average impedance is not less than your amplifiers can safely
handle.
The amplifier(s) have good ventilation, no vents are covered.
Try setting all the speakers to Small, and let your subwoofers handle the heavy bass.
Check that the amplifier(s) power output is a good match for your speakers. If your speakers
are inefficient, consider using larger power amplifiers.
Make sure all wiring is correct and there are no shorts.
DMC-1 "Locks Up" (No Response)
Unplug AC power momentarily, and press Power to turn back on
If this does not work, try the reset procedure.
Reset Procedure
The DMC-1 is a microprocessor controlled device of great complexity. Occasional power fluc-
tuations and spikes may cause the DMC-1 to "lock up" or act strangely. The DMC-1 can be
reset as follows.
On pages 90-92, write down your calibration settings, input settings, Tuner presets, and any
other settings you have made.
Press the power button to turn the unit off, or turn it off from the wall for a moment.
Press and continue to hold down the front panel Power button and the Tone DOWN button at
