Using the Multichannel Input
The multichannel input is for connecting a component
with individual 5.1-channel analog audio output jacks,
such as a DVD player or MPEG decoder. See page 25 for
hookup information.
Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-
lowed by the [MULTI CH] button
so that MULTI CH indicator
appears on the display.
Audio from the multichannel input will
now be used for the DVD input source.
Note:
• While the multichannel input is selected, the Speaker
Configuration settings on page 34 are ignored, and
signals from the multichannel input are fed to the front
left, front right, center, surround left, and surround
right speakers and subwoofer regardless of those set-
tings.
