Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output channels and the receiver, you can enjoy surround sound playback.
When you try to play a disc other than Dolby Digital such as CD, no sound is produced or, noise may be heard. To avoid this situation, make sure that you connect the component to the receiver’s DVD/6ch INPUT jacks through a surround processor which can decode the surround signal you want to listen to.
Connecting a DVD player which can decode the surround signal itself is also acceptable.
