Connecting the multichannel analog inputs

For DVD Audio and SACD playback, your DVD player may have 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channel analog outputs (depending on whether your player supports surround back

channels).1 Make sure that the player is set to output multichannel analog audio.

1Connect the front, surround, center and subwoofer outputs on your DVD player to the corresponding MULTI CH input jack on this receiver.

Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the connections.

2If your DVD player also has outputs for surround back channels, connect these to the corresponding MULTI CH input jacks on this receiver.

Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the connections.

If there is a single surround back output, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) jack on this receiver.

Second Zone speaker B setup

Caution

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Plugging in components should be the last connection you make with your system.

Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker wires from different terminals.

You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 to 16 (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 63 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 ).

After selecting 2nd Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 35, you can use the speakers connected to the (surround back) B speaker terminals on the rear panel to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker system below for the listening options with this setup.

1Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals on the rear panel.

Connect them the same way you connected your speakers in Installing your speaker system on page 17. Make sure to review Placing the speakers on page 18 when placing the speakers in another room.

2Select ‘2nd Zone’ from the ‘Surr Back System’ menu. See Surround back speaker setting on page 35 to do this.

Selecting the multichannel analog inputs

If you have connected a decoder or a DVD player as above, you must select the analog multichannel inputs

for surround sound playback.2

1Make sure you have set the playback source to the proper output setting.

For example, you might need to set your DVD player to output multichannel analog audio.

2Press MULTI CH IN (front panel).

Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be too low. In this case switch the receiver into standby, then press STANDBY/ON while holding down SBch PROCESSING on the front panel. This switches between SW IN +10dB (increase of 10 decibels) and SW IN 0dB (default) in the subwoofer channel.

Note

1To listen to multichannel analog audio you’ll need to select MULTI CH IN (see Selecting the multichannel analog inputs above for more on this).

2• When playback from the multichannel inputs is selected, you can’t use the sound processing features, SIGNAL SELECT, or any of the listening modes (including STEREO and the surround back channel processing).

When playback from the multichannel inputs is selected, only the volume and channel levels can be set.

You can’t listen to your speaker B (Second Zone) system during playback from the multichannel inputs.
