Using multi channel input

The multi channel input refers to a system, which is compatible with a source component equipped with 5.1-channel outputs (DVD player, MPEG decoder, etc.), reproducing the left/right front, center and left/right surround channels from five respective speakers and outputting the subwoofer channel from SUB WOOFER (refer to page 13).

1.Press DVD.

2.Press AUDIO SELECTOR on the unit or AUDIO SEL on the remote controller repeatedly to select “Multich”.

3.Turn on the component connected to the DVD (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER) port and start playing the desired media.

4.If necessary, press CH SEL on the remote controller to select an individual speaker. Then press LEVEL 5/∞ to adjust the output level as desired.

Adjust the speaker output level so that you can hear the same sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the front right, front left, center, surround right and surround left speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between –12 to +12 dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted between –30 to +12 dB.

The volume levels from the speakers reproducing multi channel input source are independent from the speaker levels set using the test tone (page 20). These settings are not applied to speakers reproducing multi channel input source.

Notes

•“Multich” can be selected only when DVD is selected as the input source.

•The surround mode cannot be selected when “Multich” is selected. Also, if “Multich” is selected during use of a surround mode, it is canceled automatically.
