Playing Your AV Components
—Continued
The multichannel input is for connecting a component
with individual 5.1-channel analog audio output jacks,
such as a DVD player or MPEG decoder. See page 29 for
hookup information.
Note:
• While the multichannel input is selected, the Speaker
Configuration settings on page 55 are ignored, and
signals from the multichannel input are fed to the front
left, front right, center, surround left, and surround
right speakers and subwoofer regardless of those set-
tings.
You can display various information about the current
input source as follows.
The following information can typically be displayed for
input sources.
*1 When AM or FM radio is used, the band, preset num-
ber, and frequency are displayed.
*2 If the input signal is analog, or AM or FM radio is
selected, no format information is displayed. If the
input signal is PCM, the sampling frequency is dis-
played. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the
signal format is displayed. Information is displayed
for about 3 seconds, then the previous display reap-
pears.
Interpreting Surround Channel Information
A: The number of front channels (front left, front right,
and center).
B: The number of surround channels (surround left and
surround right). If there’s surround back channel
information, this number will be 3.
C: LFE channel for subwoofer (1 means yes).
Using the Multichannel Input

lowed by the [MULTI CH] button
