Sony STR-DB1070, STR-DB870 Multi channel input hookups

Multi channel input hookups

Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.

To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound (STR-DB1070 only), you will also need a surround back speaker. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups.

Notes

•When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the DVD player or multi channel decoder.

•See page 17 for details on speaker system hookup.

•(For STR-DB1070) When you set the center and surround back speakers to use as the surround back right and left speakers in the speaker settings, the signal input at the MULTI CH IN CENTER jack is directly output from the surround back right speaker and the signal input at the MULTI CH IN SURROUND BACK jack is directly output from the surround back left speaker.

(For STR-DB870) When you set the center speaker to use as the surround back speaker in the speaker settings, the signal input at the MULTI CH IN CENTER jack is directly output from the surround back speaker.

For details about the speaker settings, refer to “Multi channel surround setup” on page 19.
