Hi Chris, not all sources will play to zone 2. Only internal and analog sources. If you want to play your cable box for example you need an analog connection from the cable box to the receiver. Also, the output is very low it needs to be amplified. Thank you, Onkyo USA
Hi, the issue is it worked before so is it possible that it's an issue with the settings?
Hi Chris, there are no settings for zone 2 line out. What source are you trying to play? Thank you, Onkyo USA
I'm trying to play the t.v. through the wireless speakers. I can get it to play through the normal speakers fine, but when I change to zone 2 the wireless adaptor doesn't even register that there is any sound to play
Chris, when you say you are trying to play the TV how are you getting that audio to the receiver? If you are trying to play from the cable box or directly from the TV you need an analog connection to the receiver from those sources. Do you have that connection? It will not play to zone 2 from an HDMI input. Thank you, Onkyo USA
Hi, I didn't realise about the source for zone 2. I'm now up and running, thanks fo your help
Hi Chris, Great. It was my pleasure. Best regards. Onkyo USA

SOURCE: Onkyo 605 Reciever no sound from zone 2 RCAs
did the AS amp ever work properly from the RCA's?
SOURCE: no signal on subwoofer out in Onkyo TX-SR703(E) - similar to TX-SR803
Hey Tad, I have the same problem and perhaps a solution. I just moved to the other SW "pre-out" and it seems to be working..the green light is on . Whatever works i guess.
SOURCE: Zone 2 on Onkyo TX SR805 inoperable
HI pull down the flap on your amp and you will see buttons for zone 2 settings,press zone2 then level up this should work.
hope this helps .

SOURCE: Powered Or Unpowered Subwoofers For Onkyo TX-8511
Greg- Powered subs are better than non-powered subs (also known as passive subs), anyway I see the TX-8511 has no sub pre-out on the back panel, so you need to decide what sub you will use and run from the receivers left and right speakers output into a subwoofers speaker in from speakers then back out to speakers, look at the back of a subwoofer and you will see like 4 sets of speaker hookups 2 in and 2 out, what this does is takes the low end or bass and drops the signal to the subwoofer then takes the mids and highs out to your left and right speakers, unless your regular left and right stereo speakers have large woofers a sub is the way to go.
SOURCE: onkyo tx-sr601 bi wire with zone 2
SMCCARTY,
The idea behind bi-wiring speakers is to get the highest quality of sound by getting the sound from two separate sources doing separate jobs. Lower frequencies are harder for an amplifier to produce than higher frequencies. So it is common to give these frequencies to two different amplifiers so each can produce the highest quality of sound. By removing the low end from the top end amplifier, it provides the top end amp more headroom thus reducing the chances of clipping. Clipping can easily be heard from the tweeters destoying not only the sound but your speakers as well. It is common practice in pro and car audio to use separate amps for subbass, low, mid and high; four amps working together to their corresponding drivers (more or less depending on the system and type of audio being produced).
In your case, getting the two different sources from basically the same amp (power supply), would not accomplish the full intent of bi-wiring; it would just make more wiring for the same end result. However still a good thought on your end. Onkyo receivers are great because of their beefy power supplies. Not very many other brands have such strong power supplies. Denon's are close but not equal.
Chris-
