Connections
Connect the audio components as follows.
■
Connecting a CD player and a CD
recorder/MD recorder
• When you connect your CD player via analog and digital
connection, priority is given to the signal input at the DIGITAL
INPUT jack.
• To make a digital connection to a component other than the
default component assigned to each DIGITAL INPUT jack,
select the corresponding setting in “INPUT ASSIGNMENT”
(see page 62).
■
Connecting a multi-format player or an external decoder
This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks (FRONT L/R, SURROUND L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER) for
discrete multi-channel input from a multi-format player, external decoder or sound processor. Connect the output jacks
on your multi-format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right
output jacks to the left and right input jacks for the front and surround channels.
• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 34), this unit automatically
turns off the digital sound field processor, and you cannot select sound field programs.
• This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We recommend that
you connect a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.
Connecting audio components
Make sure that this unit and other
components are unplugged from the
AC wall outlets.
