My surround receiver has been setup for multi-zone operation and all my components are connected digitally for audio. Why can I only get AM/FM in the 2nd zone?
Digital audio signals and analog audio signals run independently from each other in a surround sound receiver. With some rare exceptions on some of our AVR-580x model receivers under specific conditions, the signal sources for zones other than the main zone must be from an analog source. Therefore to make any component available to a second zone or third zone, the standard stereo left and right analog connections must be made to the receiver. This connection is in addition to the digital connection already made and will not effect digital signals going to the main zone for digital surround sound as the receiver will always use a digital signal over an analog signal for the main zone provided the receiver is in its Auto Input Mode setting. The reason why AM/FM worked is because it is by default an analog source.
