So if I did component I wouldn't need the main zone on for anything if only zone 2 was needed ?
Do I need to run component from DVD and Dish along with HDMI to receiver and than out to TV (zone 2) ?
Yes, the Zone 2 can run independently of Zone 1.
You can only pass through the video to Zone 2, meaning the Denon will not "down-convert" HDMI to component video. So you need to have component from your devices to your receiver for it to flow to Zone 2.
