Once this is selected, the input signals connected to the FL
(front left), FR (front right), C (center), SL (surround left) and
SR (surround right) channels of the EXT. IN jacks are output
directly to the front (left and right), center and surround (left
and right) speaker systems as well as the pre-out jacks
without passing through the surround circuitry.
In addition, the signal input to the SW (subwoofer) jack is
output to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack.

When 6CH/8CH EXT. IN is selected, the input signals
connected to the EL (effect left) and ER (effect right)
jacks are output to the PRE OUT effect (left and right)
jacks.
