Connecting the multichannel analog inputs
For DVD Audio and SACD playback, your DVD player may
have 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 channel analog outputs (depending
on whether your player supports surround back
channels).
1
Make sure that the player is set to output
multichannel analog audio.
1 Connect the front, surround, center and subwoofer
outputs on your DVD player to the corresponding
MULTI CH input jack on this receiver.
• Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the
connections.
2 If your DVD player also has outputs for surround
back channels, connect these to the corresponding
MULTI CH input jacks on this receiver.
• Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the
connections.
• If there is a single surround back output, connect it to
the
SURROUND BACK L (Single)
jack on this
receiver.
Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
If you have connected a decoder or a DVD player as
above, you must select the analog multichannel inputs
for surround sound playback.
2
1 Make sure you have set the playback source to the
proper output setting.
For example, you might need to set your DVD player to
output multichannel analog audio.
2 Use the INPUT SELECT button to select MULTI CH IN.
You can also use the
INPUT SELECTOR
dial on the front
panel.
• Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the
analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be
too low. In this case switch the receiver into standby,
then press
STANDBY/ON
while holding down
VIDEO SELECT
on the front panel. This switches
between
SW IN +10dB
(increase of 10 decibels) and
SW IN 0dB
(default) in the subwoofer channel.
