I have Denon AVR 883 model. My zone 2 is connected to speakers in my backyard and Main is connected to my Home theatre in Living room. For whatever reason my Zone 2 function is not working. Sound is heard on Zone 2 for like 2 seconds and stops and there is nothing on display and on/standy light starts blinking. My Main is working ok.
More than likely the protector circuit is getting activated... You can't go below 6 ohms on the surround back which means you need 12 ohm or higher speakers for outside (since the two outputs for surround back/zone2 are in parallel). As a simple diagnostic test, disconnect one speaker and see if the sound survives longer than 2 seconds.

Also, I have the same unit and I get no output from the surround back/zone2 terminals :( BTW, here is the owner's manual: http://www.usa.denon.com/avr1803_883_own...
