Scott, I as said in my other post. I used stereo cable from PCY65S to zone 1 input. I set the trigger input to PCY65 (used for both PCY65/PCY65S). I set up the voice for pad to C/002 and the rim for C/003. I got two sounds (pad=Crash, rim=crashe), but it did not choke. I made the exact same settings to trigger/voice and moved cable from zone 1 to zone 2 and the cymbal choke. I tried two other PCY65S cymbals and the samething happen. I then plugged in the PCY80S and changed the trigger input to PCY80 (used for both PCY80/PCY80S) and the same thing happened between zones 1 and 2. I then randomly check other zones and the results were similar. I did this on my third module, since I haven't had the time to reprogram for all the pads that I have gotten. But did notice this problem when I got my first two modules last September. I am going to look at it one last time this weekend and then may call Yamaha to see what the final answer is even though I no longer have a problem with this issue since I have the third module. All of my stereo pads/cymbals (TP65S x2; PCY80S x3, PCY65S x6) are now snug as a bug in the three zone input jacks or the HiHat input jack no. 8. (Two of the PCY65S are being used for Hihats inputs.) I hope you guys are right and I am wrong, so that next year when I beg the wife for the fourth modules, I will have more options....well actually I waiting for the magical PCY150 three cymbal pads that is referred to in the manual.
