Playing Your AV Components

The multichannel DVD input is for connecting a compo-
nent with a 5.1-channel analog audio output, such as a
DVD-Audio or SACD-capable DVD player, or an
MPEG decoder. See page 24 for hookup information.
Note:
• While the multichannel DVD input is selected, the
Speaker Configuration settings on page 52 are
ignored, and signals from the multichannel input are
fed to the speakers as they are.
You can display various information about the current
input source as follows.
The following information can typically be displayed:
*1 When AM or FM radio is used, the band, preset num-
ber, and frequency are displayed.
*2 If the input signal is analog, or AM or FM radio is
selected, no format information is displayed. If the
input signal is PCM, the sampling frequency is dis-
played. If the input signal is digital but not PCM, the
signal format is displayed. Information is displayed
for about 3 seconds, then the previous display reap-
pears.
Interpreting Surround Channel Information
A: The number of front channels (front left, front right,
and center).
B: The number of surround channels (surround left and
surround right). If there’s surround back channel
information, this number will be 3.
C: LFE channel for subwoofer (1 means yes).
