PREPARATION

mConnecting an external decoder of a future format to this unit

English

This unit is equipped with additional 6-channel audio signal input terminals (for left main, right main, center, left rear surround, right rear surround and subwoofer channels) for inputting signals from an external decoder of a future format to this unit.

To listen to a sound by reproducing signals input to these terminals, press the TAPE/MD MON/EXT. DECODER button on the front panel repeatedly until “EXT. DECODER” appears on the display. By doing so, the signals input to these terminals are sent to the corresponding SPEAKERS terminals and OUTPUT terminals of this unit.

Notes

●When signals input to these terminals are selected, the digital sound field processor cannot be used.

●The settings of “1. CENTER SPEAKER,” “2. REAR SPEAKER”, “3. MAIN SPEAKER” and “4. LFE/BASS OUT” in the SET MENU mode have no effect on the signals input to these terminals. The setting of “5. MAIN LEVEL” is effective. (Refer to pages 27 to 28 for details.)

●The adjustments of the output level of the center speakers, rear speakers and subwoofer are effective when the signals input to these terminals are selected as the input source.

(Refer to pages 46 to 47 for details.)
