Multi Channel Input Hookups - Sony STR-DE885 Operating Instructions Manual

Multi channel input hookups

Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel
input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other
than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you
can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player's multi channel
decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel
decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround
speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound, refer
page 16. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder,
etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.
Notes
• When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the
DVD player or multi channel decoder.
• See page 15 for details on speaker system hookup.
