Make a point
of understanding how the Marantz is looking for
the commands - it will only accept a volume +/-
command for a period of time after a multi-room
input or power command is issued.
This is not entirely correct, the input and volume commands are time limited when switching the multi room on from the IR reciever on the front of the amp ( as the unit returns to main zone control a small period of time after zone 2 is turned on). When you use the 2nd zone control input on the back, there is no problem selecting source or adjusting volume at any time ( yes use the Xantech device suggested in the other posts).
