Ch Input Hookups - Sony STR-DE545 Operating Instructions Manual

5.1CH Input Hookups
Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel
decoder, it is also equipped with 5.ICH INPUT jacks.
These connections allow you to enjoy multichannel
software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital
(AC-3) and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with
5.1CH OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to
the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player's multi
channel decoder. Alternatively, the 5.1CH INPUT jacks
can be used to connect an external multi channe] decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will
need five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers,
and a center speaker) and a sub woofer. Refer to the
instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi
channel decoder, etc., for details on the 5.1 channel input
hookups.
