playback component to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit, and set the input source of this unit to
“MULTI CH.”

When you select “MULTI CH” as the input source, the digital sound field processor and tone control are
automatically disabled.
•
As this unit does not redirect signals input through the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to compensate for
missing speakers, make appropriate settings on the multi-format player or the external decoder that suit
to the speaker configuration.
•
When the input source is switched to “MULTI CH,” images input from a component connected to the
AV1-7 or VIDEO AUX jacks can be displayed on a video monitor (

). If your DVD player does
not support multi-channel digital output, connect it to these input jacks.
