Denon AVR-1600h - can't set source and volume for Z2

[Stupi]

Hello,

I have in bar two receivers denon. Denon AVR-1700h - Z2 change source and volume via custom commands works perfectly. Denon AVR-1600h - Z2 change source and volume doesn't work. Can you advice? I use the same commands as for AVR-1700h. Only custom command Z2ON works for Denon AVR-1600h.

Hi Stupi,

I'm not able to easily find much relevant documentation on the 1600H. Personally I've got a x2200W of which I never use Zone2 so I can't really test anything from here, but could you tell me which commands you use that work for the 1700h?

The documentation from 2014, which is regarding the AVR-X5200W, X4100W, X3100W, X1100W (which I guess would be a similar model but from back then) and more, suggest the following commands for controlling zone 2. I don't know if this differs from your approach for the 1700H.

Z2SOURCE - cancel source and go back same as main. Z2MPLAY - switches source to mediaplayer. Z2UP - volume up Z280 - set volume Z2ON - turn on Z2OFF - turn off Z2SLP010 - sleep in 10 minutes

The same file shows that some models don't support Z2 control but I can only image that's because they don't have a Zone 2, otherwise that would make no sense at all. If you're in need of it this file is easily found by googling 'Denon S Series - X Series RS232 IP Protocol 2014', but doesn't cover your models so it might not be that useful. Though the Denon telnet protocol has been remained pretty much the same.

Cheers, Ralph

Hello Relph,

I use custom commands Z2Source and Z270. They work on denon avr-1700h but not on avr-1600h. Hard to say if it's issue in your app or I should use different commands. I was also googling about model avr-1600h but I was not successful so I tried to write you :). But custom command Z2ON is working correctly on avr-1600h.

In theory anything you type in as a custom command gets send to receiver, it's up to the receiver to do something with it.

The only manuals I can find are these: https://manuals.denon.com/AVRX1600h/NA/EN/GFNFSYvffiuorq.php and https://manuals.denon.com/avrx1700h/eu/en/GFNFSYvffiuorq.php

One thing I noticed on those pages is that the 1600H has the following line where the 1700H doesn't: It is not possible to play the digital audio signals input from the HDMI, COAXIAL or OPTICAL connectors in ZONE2. Use analog connections for ZONE2 playback.

Is that something that's applicable here, or are you able to set it up correctly using the IR remote control? In any case I'd expect the volume command to actually do something.

Cheers, ~Ralph

Hello Ralph,

Yes, if I set everything via IR remote everything is working correctly. And as I wrote custom command Z2On is also working correctly. It can be some issue with denon . I will try to googling a few more days. If I find something I will let you know.
