is there a way to make any particular zone the 'default' zone? i have a zone called 'headphones' and it's the bulk of my music listening, with pre-set DSP and all that. however i always have to send to the headphones zone or else it plays on 'player' which is connected to my desktop PC speakers. i'd like things to default to the 'headphones' zone and then i can send to the others if i want
thanks, sorry for the basic question but i can't seem to figure this one out
Are you using Media Center in standard view or theater view?
If you're using MC in theater view, there is an option under the theater view advanced options to "switch to zone on load" that would switch the active zone to headphones whenever theater view starts
If you're using it in standard view, MC should start in whatever zone was active the last time you used it. You can set headphones to be the active zone by selecting it under the tree in the upper left hand corner. MC would then start in headphones unless you had changed the output to player. You could also set up a startup batch file to launch MC that would automatically switch the active zone to headphones, but that's a little more advanced.
