Connecting a Multichannel Source to the C 1

Certain multichannel sources, such as SACD and DVD-A players, have internal surround decoders and D/A converters and can deliver multichannel audio only via their analog output jacks. The diagram shows a 5.1-channel source, the most common type today, and indicates the “Back” connections to be used with 7.1-channel components when they become available. Like the balanced-line “Bypass” mode, this is a straight pass-through of the analog signal from input to output, with no signal modifi- cations beyond the analog level controls (including volume adjustment and the center, surround, and subwoofer-level trims on Page 3 of the Master remote’s C1/C2 menu).
