Other connections

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).

Make sure that the player is set to output

multichannel analog audio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Using the USB interface

It is possible to listen to two channels of audio from your

1 To listen to multichannel analog audio you’ll need to switch the input signal selector to
