Connections
■
Audio player
y
•
We recommend connecting the coaxial digital output terminal of a CD player to the AV3 jack.
•
When connecting a turntable with a low-output MC cartridge to the PHONO jacks, use an in-line boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier.
•
Connect your turntable to the GND terminal of this unit to reduce noise in the signal.
■
Connecting a multi-format player or an
external decoder
This unit is equipped with 8 additional input jacks (Front
L/R, Center, Surround L/R, Surround Back L/R and
Subwoofer) for analog multi-channel input from a multi-
format player, external decoder, etc.
Notes
•
When you select “MULTI CH” as the input source, the digital sound field
processor is automatically disabled.
•
Since this unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT
jacks to accommodate for missing speakers, connect at least a 5.1-
channel speaker system when using this feature.
•
You can specify a video signal to be output during a multi-channel audio
reproduction (page 49). If your DVD player has analog multi-channel
output jacks, connect them to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks while making
a video connection (component video or composite).
■
Connecting an external amplifier
If you want to use another amplifier, connect an external
amplifier to the PRE OUT jacks. Each PRE OUT jack
outputs the same channel signals as the corresponding
speaker terminals.
Note
•
When you make connections to the PRE OUT jacks, do not make any
connections to the speaker terminals.

Front channel output jacks.
b
SURROUND PRE OUT jacks
Surround channel output jacks.
c
SUR.BACK PRE OUT jacks
Surround back output jacks. When you only connect one
external amplifier for the surround back channel, connect it to
the left SUR.BACK (SINGLE) jack.
y
•
To output surround back channel signals at these jacks, set
“Surround Speaker” to any parameter except “None” (page 56).
d
CENTER PRE OUT jack
Center channel output jack.
