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).

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

•Use standard RCA phono cables for the connections.

•Take care to connect each output to its corresponding input on the receiver.

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

•Use standard RCA phono cables for the connections.

•If there is only a single surround back output, be sure to connect it to the SURROUND BACK L jack on this receiver.

Note

•To listen to multichannel analog audio you’ll need to press MULTI CH INPUT on the remote (see Using the multichannel analog inputs on page 41 for more on this).
