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.

•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 VIDEO SELECT on the front panel. This switches between SW IN +10dB (increase of 10 decibels) and SW IN 0dB (default) in the subwoofer channel.

Using the USB interface

VSX-84TXSi only

It is possible to listen to two channels of audio from your computer by connecting to the USB interface on the rear of this receiver. Depending on your model of computer and the software installed, you can listen to the stereo audio source through the speaker setup you’ve

connected to this receiver.3

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

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

3• Windows® XP, Windows® 2000, Windows® Millennium Edition and Windows® 98 Second Edition operating systems have been tested for compatibility with this interface, but depending on your computer setup, you may find that your system is not compatible.

•Make sure you use a USB cable that connects from an A-type connector (from your PC) to a 4-pin B-type connector (to the receiver).

•The USB specification is version 1.1 compatible, and the USB Audio Class specification is 1.0 compatible.

•Any computer alert sounds will also be heard through the speakers unless you switch them off from the computer’s control panel.
