Disable Zone 2 Feature On Sony Str-dh820
Instructions in owners manual do not solve the problem. When I press "SOURCE" button, "Z: SOURCE" appears on screen, but no other options are presented, and Zone 2 is not removed. Pressing "ZONE" and power button also does not solve problem, as Zone 2 setting is still engaged when receiver is turned back on. I consider myself technically proficient, but this is growing annoying. This forum is my last resort before returning this receiver and never buying another Sony product again.
