Correct you turn Zone 2 on with the button on the front then you go to the button to the left of it and it will ask which source and you use the left wheel to rotate to the source like Phono.
I was wondering if the volume could be an issue but I did have it turned up enough to be able to at least hear something if a signal was coming through. I don't know if the Rotel, being a receiver and not a straight amp, is having communication issues. But I would think if the analog signal is leaving the MX121 as a music signal the Rotel should not know the difference.
Another question is if I did only want to play music in Zone 2 I guess as long as you have the Main Zone set to a signal i.e. DVD which would not be playing and say Phono as the signal going to Zone 2 that is how it works. So if I turn up the volume I am only powering the amp in Zone 2 and not putting power into the Main amps even thought they are on.
