Playback using the external input (EXT. IN) jacks

1Set the external input (EXT.

IN) mode.

Press the EXT. IN to switch

the external input.

(Main unit) (Remote control unit)

Once this is selected, the input signals connected to the FL

(front left), FR (front right), C (center), SL (surround left), SR

(surround right), SBL (surround back left) and SBR (surround

back right) channels of the EXT. IN jacks are output directly to

the front (left and right), center, surround (left and right) and

surround back (left and right) speaker systems as well as the

pre-out jacks without passing through the surround circuitry.

In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is

output to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.

2Cancelling the external input mode

To cancel the external input (EXT. IN) setting, press the input

mode (AUTO, PCM, DTS) or ANALOG button to switch to the

desired input mode. (See page 60)

(Main unit)(Remote control unit)

• When the input mode is set to the external input (EXT. IN), the

surround mode (DIRECT, STEREO, STANDARD, 5/7CH STEREO,

WIDE SCREEN or DSP SIMULATION) cannot be set.

NOTES:

• In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals

connected to these jacks cannot be played. In addition, signals

cannot be output from channels not connected to the input

jacks.

• The external input mode can be set for any input source. To

watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to

which the video signal is connected, then set this mode.

�� If the subwoofer output level seems to high, set the “SW ATT”

surround parameter to “ON”.
