Listening to multi channel sound

— MULTI CH IN

You can select the audio directly from the components connected to the MULTI CH IN jacks. This enables you to enjoy high quality analog inputs such as DVD or Super Audio CD. Also see “D.PWR XXX” (page 45).

Press MULTI CH IN.

Press again to cancel the MULTI CH IN function.

When a center speaker or sub woofer is not connected

If you have set the center speaker to “NO” or “MIX”, or set the sub woofer to “NO” in the SPEAKER SETUP menu (page 19), and you activate the MULTI CH IN function, the analog center or sub woofer audio will be output from the front left and right speakers.
