5.1a BYPASS

MODE ADJUST 5.1a BYPASS

Designed for playback of 5.1-channel analog sources, such as DVD-A or SACD players.

The 5.1-channel analog input connectors are sent directly to the Main Zone volume control and audio output connectors as shown on page 3-46. These signals receive no internal processing.

When both side and rear speakers are present, surround channel signals are sent in parallel to the side and rear speakers. To configure a 5-channel speaker setup, set the OUTPUT LEVELS menu SIDE L/R or REAR L/R parameter to OFF to deactivate the associated surround speakers.

The 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is automatically activated whenever one of the 5.1-channel analog audio input connectors is assigned to the selected input.

The 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is the only listening mode available for 5.1-channel analog sources.
