My apologies for beating a horse that has long since been dead
. But all this work and added expense due to the Onkyo's botched 12V trigger setup. I'm a fan of Onkyo products having owned the 805, 885 and 886. So I'm not an Onkyo hater just still amazed they can't implement a normal 12V trigger setup with their AVRs. It seems that every other AVR manufacturer gets it right.

I think it is done deliberately to get you to buy more expensive Integra products. Here is a cut and paste email reply from Onkyo when I asked them about a "work around" for this problem:

Comments: You've got several AVR's I'm interested in. The problem is that each of them only has a 12V trigger for rooms/zones 2 and 3. I need a 12V trigger to turn on my power amp when I am using the receiver. I won't even have a zone 2 or 3. Is there a way I could buy one of your receiver's (TX-NR1009 or 3009) and use it in this way? Can I program my Harmony remote to turn on zone 2 everytime the receiver comes on so it would trigger my power amp? I would still need all 9 channels available in room one for all the DTS neo X channels. WIll this work? Thanks, Kent
Their reply;
Hello Kent:
Unfortunately; only all Integra line of receivers have this compability to utlize the 12v trigger for the main zone as well as use for the other zones as well. None of our Onkyo units have this capability for the main zone. Please contact your local authorized Integra dealer (listed below) for pricing and further information for the following models:
Integra DTR 50.3
Integra DTR 70.3
Integra DTR 80.3
Integra DHC 40.3 (pre-amp)
Integra DHC 80.3 (pre-amp)
Integra DTR 50.4
Integra DTR 70.4
