DVD 6-channel playback
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 DTS 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.
