Connecting the AV Controller—Continued
Hooking Up the Multichannel Input
If your DVD player supports multichannel audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD, and it has a multichannel
analog audio output, you can connect it to the AV controller's multichannel input.
Use a multichannel analog audio cable, or several normal audio cables, to connect the AV controller's MULTI CH:
FRONT L/R, CENTER, SURR L/R, SURR BACK L/R, and SUBWOOFER jacks to the 7.1-channel analog audio
output on your DVD player. If your DVD player has a 5.1-channel analog audio output, don't connect anything to the
AV controller's SURR BACK L/R jacks.
Before using the multichannel input, you must assign it to an input selector. See "Analog Audio Input Setup" on page 54.
To select the multichannel input, see "Selecting Audio Inputs" on page 114. To adjust the subwoofer sensitivity for the
multichannel input, see "Subwoofer Input Sensitivity" on page 111.
