Let's take this to another forum or private message as it's prob better there. But I had to use a compatible tv that supports 5.1 or maybe atmos, can't remember and there may have been a "passthrough" option I had to set but I can't remember. I'll have to look again but I remember the manual saying something like "it may not be able to send out more than 2 channel." Also, you have to be on different sources to work I think, it can't be the same movie on zone 1 and 2. Maybe switch which avr is sending.I failed to mix the channels of the 8500h and 3800h the other day. I tried to send Dolby source using zone2, but I could only send 2-channel PCM.
How did you succeed? Even in the Denon manual, it is written that if the main channel and zone2 channel output the same source, zone2 can only output 2-channel pcm. Channel combination of two avrs was successful just once by chance, but it seemed like a bit of a bug.
So I'm giving up and trying to sell the 3800h.
Please give me good information.
