CONNECTIONS

Connecting to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (left and right FRONT, CENTER, left and right SURROUND and SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a multi-format player, external decoder, sound processor or pre- amplifier.

If you set MULTI CH INPUT 6ch/8ch to “8ch” (see page 62), you can use input jacks assigned as MULTI CH INPUT FRONT (page 62) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8 channels.

Connect the output jacks on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right outputs to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.

Notes

When you select MULTI CH INPUT as the input source, this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.

This unit does not redirect signals input to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.

When headphones are used, only front L/R channels are output.
