UMC-200 zoning

[Deleted]

Maybe I have mental block on this simple feature.
How do I set Zone 2 or Zone 3 to stay active after power down and have it "ON" upon restart?
I send my source signal to different amps through out the house from the UMC. I have to fire up the Display, go to menu to turn on zones every time I want to listen to music in other areas. I don't want that. Does the XMC-1 also work that way?
I'm using the record out as a work around now, but limited to just 1 zone at a time.
My Denon allows me to set it & forget it. (analogue only- no digital files can be played)
Help- wife is getting frustrated.

You can't do it on the UMC-1 or the XMC-1, so I doubt you can on the UMC-200. I asked for this feature years ago (before the XMC-1 came out), but it doesn't seem to be important to most people. I added an additional command to my Harmony remote to turn on Zone 2, but due to timing and other variables, it doesn't always work.

Thx, I suspected so.

So now you can buy your wife Sonos for Christmas.

Though you still might want to drive Sonos from the Zone 2 output and you'd have the same problem.
