Playback using the external input (EXT. IN) jacks
1 Set the external input (EXT.
IN) mode.
Press the EXT. IN to switch
the external input.
Once this is selected, the input signals connected to the FL
(front left), FR (front right), C (center), SL (surround left), and
SR (surround right) channels of the EXT. IN jacks are output
directly to the front (left and right), center, surround (left and
right) speaker systems without passing through the surround
circuitry.
In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is
output to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.
2 Cancelling the external input mode
To cancel the external input (EXT. IN) setting, press the INPUT
MODE (AUTO, PCM, DTS) or ANALOG button to switch to
the desired input mode. (See page 27.)
(Main unit)
• When the input mode is set to the external input (EXT. IN), the play
mode (STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, 5CH STEREO or DSP
SIMULATION) cannot be selected.
Recording the program source (recording the source currently being monitored)
1 Follow step 1 to 3 under "Playing the input source".
Simultaneous recording
The signals of the source selected with the function selector button are output simultaneously to the CDR/TAPE and VCR REC OUT jacks. If
a total of two tape and/or video decks are connected and set to the recording mode, the same source can be recorded simultaneously on
every decks.
NOTES:
• The AUDIO IN's signal selected with the function selector button are output to the CDR/TAPE and VCR AUDIO OUT jacks.
• Digital signals are not output from the audio output jack.

NOTES:
• In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals
connected to EXT. IN jacks cannot be played. In addition, signals
cannot be output from channels not connected to the input
jacks.
• The external input mode can be set for any input source. To
watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to
which the video signal is connected, then set this mode.
2 Start recording on the tape or video deck.
