Connections

■Connecting a multi-format player or an external decoder

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 “Input Channels” to “8ch” in “MULTI CH” (see page 83), you can use the input jacks assigned as “Front Input” in “Multi CH Assign” (see page 83) together with the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to input 8-channel signals. 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 the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 42), this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.

•This unit does not redirect signals input at 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 the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit is selected as the input source, only the signals input at MULTI CH INPUT FRONT jacks are output from the connected headphones.
