"Zone 2 one speaker working - Audio Players & Recorders

SOURCE: Denon AVR 1609 Receiver Zone 2 has no sound

you have to change the power amp assignment to zone 2, you must also have Analog audio connections to the Denon from your devices.
Try this put your remote in the zone 2 mode, select tuner in zone 2 and turn zone 2 volume up to -10

SMCCARTY,
The idea behind bi-wiring speakers is to get the highest quality of sound by getting the sound from two separate sources doing separate jobs. Lower frequencies are harder for an amplifier to produce than higher frequencies. So it is common to give these frequencies to two different amplifiers so each can produce the highest quality of sound. By removing the low end from the top end amplifier, it provides the top end amp more headroom thus reducing the chances of clipping. Clipping can easily be heard from the tweeters destoying not only the sound but your speakers as well. It is common practice in pro and car audio to use separate amps for subbass, low, mid and high; four amps working together to their corresponding drivers (more or less depending on the system and type of audio being produced).

In your case, getting the two different sources from basically the same amp (power supply), would not accomplish the full intent of bi-wiring; it would just make more wiring for the same end result. However still a good thought on your end. Onkyo receivers are great because of their beefy power supplies. Not very many other brands have such strong power supplies. Denon's are close but not equal.

A soft reset might help; with the system on, hold down the VCR button and then Standby. The screen will read "Clear" and then turn off. When you turn it back on it is supposed to be just like it came from the factory.

Hello there, if you have switched speaker wires and yet they still dont work then the problem most definitely needs a repair to be carried out. Although as long as the entire unit functions and its just the right speakers that dont work in zone 2 then the problem is minor and would not need a total replacement.Although the problem would need to be looked at to be able to determine the exact source of the failure but usually is a fairly meager anomaly in the system and can be easily fixed.
Hope this support has been helpful?
