Using MULTI CHANNEL INPUT
The MULTI CHANNEL INPUT refers to a system, which is
compatible with a source component equipped with 5.1-channel
outputs (DVD player, MPEG decoder, etc.), reproducing the left/
right front, center and left/right surround channels from five
respective speakers and outputting the subwoofer channel from
SUB WOOFER PRE OUT (refer to page 11).
1. Press AUDIO SELECTOR button repeatedly to
select MULTI CH.
2. Turn on the component connected to the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT port and start playing the
desired media.
3. If necessary, press the CH SEL button on the
remote controller to select an individual
speaker. Then press the LEVEL 5/ button to
adjust the output level as desired.
Adjust the speaker output level so that you can hear the same
sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the
front right, front left, center, surround right and surround left
speakers, the output levels can be adjusted between 12 to +12
dB. The subwoofer can be adjusted between 30 to +12 dB.
The volume levels from the speakers reproducing MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT are independent from the speaker levels
set using the test tone (page 21). These settings are not applied
to speakers reproducing MULTI CHANNEL INPUT.
Notes:
MULTI CH cannot be selected when FM, AM or PHONO is
selected as the input source.
The surround mode cannot be selected when MULTI CH is
selected. Also, if MULTI CH is selected during use of a
surround mode, it is canceled automatically.
If the speaker level is set to +1 dB or higher, the maximum
level indicated in the display will change if you raise the
volume level.
Regardless of the speaker configuration, the input signal will
be output to each corresponding speaker. For example, even if
the speaker configuration is set to 2 ch, sound comes from all
speakers.
