•
Be sure to turn down the volume when connecting this unit and the other devices.
•
When both the HDMI connection and the analog video/audio connection are performed between the
HDMI compatible device and this unit, only the HDMI signal will be input.
•
When you select “MULTI CH” as the input source, the digital sound field processor and tone control are
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.
•
When the input source is switched to “MULTI CH,” images input from a component connected to the
HDMI1-5, AV1-6, 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.
