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 and surround (left and right) speaker systems as well as the pre-out jacks without passing through the surround circuitry.

In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is output to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.

When 8CH EXT. IN is selected, the input signals connected to the EL (effect left) and ER (effect right) jacks are output to the PRE OUT effect (left and right) jacks.

Refer to page 26 for setting the number of external input channels.

NOTES:

In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to these 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.

Multi-source and multi-zone playback

MULTI ROOM MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

When the outputs of the MULTI SOURCE AUDIO OUT terminals are wired and connected to integrated amplifiers installed in other rooms, different sources can be played in rooms other than the main room in which this unit and the playback devices are installed. (Refer to ANOTHER ROOM on the diagram below.)

When a sold separately room-to-room remote control unit (DENON RC-616, 617 or 618) is wired and connected between the main room and another room, the remote-controllable devices in the main room can be controlled from another room using the remote control unit.

*To control playback devices other than the ones above, either use that device’s remote control unit or preset a separately sold programmable remote control unit.

NOTES:

For the AUDIO output, use high quality pin-plug cords and wire in such a way that there is no humming or noise.

For instructions on installation and operation of separately sold devices, refer to the devices’ operating instructions.
