■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 Assign” (see page 98), you can use the input jacks assigned as “Front Input” in “Multi CH Assign” (see page 98) 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 54), this unit automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.

•The audio signals input at the CENTER and SUBWOOFER MULTI CH INPUT jacks are mixed down to the left and right headphone channels.

•This unit redirects the audio signals input at the CENTER and/or SUBWOOFER MULTI CH INPUT jacks to the front left and right speaker channels when you set “Center” and/or “Configuration” in “Speaker Set” to “None” (see page 100). We recommend that you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.
