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.

2Press MULTI CH IN on the front panel to turn the multi-channel input on.

Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be too low. In this case, the output level of the subwoofer can be increased by 10 dB in the Multi Ch In Setup in Other Setup. For details, see Multi Channel Input Setup on page 71.

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 jack cables for the connections.

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 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.

To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the surround back channel.

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.

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 Ω to 16 Ω (please see Switching the

speaker impedance on page 76 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).

After selecting Speaker B in Surround back speaker setting on page 41, 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 21. Make sure to review Placing the speakers on page 22 when placing the speakers in another room.

2Select ‘Speaker B’ from the Surround Back System menu.

See Surround back speaker setting on page 41 to do this.

Switching the speaker system

If you selected Speaker B in Surround back speaker setting on page 41, three speaker system settings are possible using the SPEAKERS button. If you selected Normal or Front Bi-Amp, the button will simply switch your main speaker system on or off. The options below

are for the Speaker B setting only.3

Note

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

2• 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 system during playback from the multichannel inputs.

3• The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 48. However, if SPB is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

Depending on the settings in Surround back speaker setting on page 41 output from the surround back pre-out terminals may change.

All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
