Speaker/Output Setup

The RDC-7.1 provides a wide range of variations in speaker connections and speaker settings, so you have to specify speaker settings according to conditions of each variation. For proper selection of an AV device connected at switching of the input type, you also need to allocate “audio output” and “video output” to each input type. If this allocation is incorrect, the desired component will not play a selected input source.

Please setup correctly by referring to the information you wrote down in the Your System Setting booklet.
