You can select 2 or 8 channels. For best sound quality

 

 

use 2 channels when you listen to stereo sources.

memo

The default setting is DIRECT.

You can’t select listening modes for MULTI CH IN. Selecting a listening mode cancels the MULTI CH IN.

In DIRECT mode, if the center speaker is set to “NO” the signal for that channel is divided between the front speakers. If any other speakers are set to “NO” the signal for that (those) channel(s) won’t get output at all.

If the amplifier is in DIRECT mode, and you set sound features (p.53-55) on, the mode will change to ADJUST automatically.

See MULTI CH IN SELECT (p.86) for more on MULTI CH IN playback.
