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.

If you have connected a decoder or a DVD player as
above, you must select the analog multichannel inputs

, switch off
the power and disconnect the power cord from the

Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker
wires from different terminals.
You can use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 6
to 16
(please see
Switching the
speaker impedance
on page 60 if you plan to use
speakers with an impedance of less than 8
).
