CONNECTIONS
This unit is equipped with 8 additional input jacks (FRONT L/R, CENTER, SURROUND L/R,
SURROUND BACK L/R 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.
Do not connect this unit or other components to the AC power supply until all connections between
components are complete.
• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 44), 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 at least a 5.1-channel speaker system before using this feature.
• When headphones are used, signals are output only from the front left and right channels.
