Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the TX-NR900/ 900E automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played. This setting only appears if a digital input is selected for the Digital Input setting at Setup Menu → Input Setup Menu → Digital Setup Sub-menu (see page 51).

Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back the input from the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port. This setting only appears if “Yes” is selected for the Multichannel setting at Setup Menu → Input Setup Menu → Multichannel Setup Sub-menu (see page 52).

Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source component connected to analog audio input jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the analog signal will be output.

Enjoying the multichannel output

Before starting operations, first make sure that the multichannel connection is properly made and that “Yes” is selected for the Multichannel setting at Setup Menu → Input Setup Menu → Multichannel Setup Sub-menu (see page 52).

1.Press the input source button for the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT on the rear of the TX-NR900/900E.

2.Select “Multich” using the AUDIO SELECTOR button on the front panel (or AUDIO SEL button on the remote controller).

3.Turn on the connected component and start playing the desired media.

4.If necessary, adjust the output level of each speaker as desired (see page 34).

Adjust the volume at each speaker so that all the volumes sound at the same level at the listening position. For the front right, front left, center, surround right, surround left, surround back right, and surround back left speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels. The subwoofer can be adjusted between –30 and +12 decibels.

Note:

If you change the speaker levels in step 4 above, these new levels for multichannel sources will have no effect on the settings at Setup Menu → Speaker Setup Menu → Level Calibration Sub-menu (see page 50).

5.Adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME dial (or

the VOL buttons on the remote controller.)
