Caution
•Before making or changing the connections, switch
off the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in should be the final step.
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.
1 Connect the front, surround, center and subwoofer
outputs on your DVD player to the corresponding
MULTI CH IN
jack on this receiver.
Use standard RCA/phono jack cables for the
connections.
2 If your DVD player also has outputs for surround
back channels, connect these to the corresponding
MULTI CH IN
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 jack on this receiver.
To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround
speakers for the surround channel, not the surround
back channel.
