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.

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 Ω to 16 Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 53 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).

After selecting 2nd Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 36, 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.

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.

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

3 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 40. However, if SP B is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
