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 IN
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 IN
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.
• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround
speakers for the surround channel, not the surround
back channel.
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.
2Press

on the front panel to turn the
multi-channel input on.
• Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the
analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be
too low. In this case, the output level of the subwoofer
can be increased by 10 dB in the Multi Ch In Setup in
Other Setup. For details, see Multi Channel Input
Setup on page 67.

Caution
• Before making or changing the connections, switch off
the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in components should be the
last connection you make with your system.
• Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker
wires from different terminals.
• You can use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 6 Ω to 16 Ω (please see Switching the
speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use
speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).
After selecting Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting on page 41, you can use the speakers connected
to the (surround back) B speaker terminals on the rear
panel to listen to stereo playback in another room. See
Switching the speaker system below for the listening
options with this setup.
1 Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back
speaker terminals on the rear panel.
Connect them the same way you connected your
speakers in Installing your speaker system on page 20.
Make sure to review Placing the speakers on page 21
when placing the speakers in another room.
2Select ‘
Speaker B
’ from the Surround Back System
menu.
See Surround back speaker setting on page 41 to do this.
Switching the speaker system
If you selected Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting on page 41, three speaker system settings are
possible using the SPEAKERS button. If you selected
Normal or Front Bi-Amp, the button will simply switch
your main speaker system on or off. The options below
are for the Speaker B setting only.
