Problem: I am trying to Hook up my RX-Z9 and get sound out of MAIN.

I have a Main room with 6 surround speakers - however, it only plays out of Zone 2 (The system says Zone 2 on it). I don't even see MAIN which the manual says it has. I have 2 outdoor speakers on the B channel off the same Zone 2. They play fine also. I have hooked up 4 more speakers to an upstairs room. When I run the auto configuration I hear sound from 2 of the speakers but not the other two.

My question is, how to get speakers configured to Main, I think once I can accomplish this, I can resolve the other 2 rooms worth of speakers. I was thinking that maybe there is a reset, that I could basically start over with the configuration. Any suggestions appreciated.

Trying to hook up Zone B stereo speakers in two additional rooms.

The infrared mentioned by the manual is most likely an extension possibility to use the remote control in each room, forget that part.
What you need to do is quite simpel, after connecting all speakers, you should indicate in the setup menu of each zone which speakers are connected and do as follows:
in main room select 5.1 setup, for the other zone select only the left and right front speakers.
Your EXTRA SP indicates the extra speakers for 7.1 setup and when set to zone B it recognises only 1 speaker.

So read carefully the manual how to connect Zone 2 speakers and connect that way, than carefully walk through the setup menu to setup the zone 2 correctly.

No sound out of surround back speakers

It sounds like you don't have your surround sound source set up properly (your DVD player is not set up for PCM sound).

the best quality audio will be to set up either digital or optical audio between the DVD and the receiver.

Once you have connected the optical or digital audio cable between the DVD and receiver, you have to go into the DVD player audio setup and change it to PCM digital audio or you will not get surround sound. DVD players are not set up by default to output surround sound.

Denon AVR 883 Audio glitch

More than likely the protector circuit is getting activated... You can't go below 6 ohms on the surround back which means you need 12 ohm or higher speakers for outside (since the two outputs for surround back/zone2 are in parallel). As a simple diagnostic test, disconnect one speaker and see if the sound survives longer than 2 seconds.
