PREPARATION

mConnecting an external decoder of a future format to this unit

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 EXT. DECODER button on the front panel so that “EXT. DECODER IN” 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 “1A” to “1E” in the SET MENU mode have no effect on the signals input to these terminals. The setting of “1F. MAIN LEVEL” is effective. (Refer to pages 28 to 29 for details.)

The adjustments of the output level of the center speaker, rear speakers and subwoofer are effective when the signals input to these terminals are selected as the input source. (Refer to pages 55 to 56 for details.)
