Connecting a multi-format player or an external decoder

This unit has 8 sets of input jacks (FRONT L/R, CENTER, SURROUND L/R, SUR. BACK and
SUBWOOFER) to input multi-channel analog sound signals. If your playback component, such as a
DVD player or SACD player, has multi-channel analog output capability, you can enjoy up to 7.1-
channel multi-channel sound. To output multi-channel sound, connect the audio output jacks of your
playback component to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit, and set the input source of this unit to
"MULTI CH."

(7.1-channel output)
• When you select "MULTI CH" as the input source, the digital sound field processor and tone control are
automatically disabled.
• As this unit does not redirect signals input through the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to compensate for
missing speakers, make appropriate settings on the multi-format player or the external decoder that suit
to the speaker configuration.
• When the input source is switched to "MULTI CH," images input from a component connected to the
AV1-7 or VIDEO AUX jacks can be displayed on a video monitor (
not support multi-channel digital output, connect it to these input jacks.
