I have to plead ignance on the diff between a dual zone and a 
stereo. I was under the impression that a single zone with a mono 
cable would come in on 9 and a dual zone with a stereo cable would 
trigger 9 or 10.  It was in fact the pcy65s that worked poorly in 
the 9/10 input. Reviewing the manual, It mentions plugging a bp80 
into 9/10 (whats that?) but says nothing about a pcy65s.
