Connecting To Multi Ch Input Jacks - Yamaha RX-V1400 Owner's Manual

Connecting to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks
This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right FRONT, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a multi-disc player, external decoder, sound processor or pre-
amplifier.
If you set EXT.INPUT 6ch/8ch to "8ch" (see page 55), you can use input jacks assigned in EXT.INPUT FRONT
(page 55) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8 channels.
Connect the output jacks on your multi-disc player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match
the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.

Notes
• When you select MULTI CH INPUT as the input source, this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you
cannot select sound field programs.
• This unit does not redirect signals input to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that
you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.
• When headphones are used, only front L/R channels are output.
