Selecting the multichannel analog inputs
If you have connected a decoder or a DVD player as
above, you must select the analog multichannel inputs
for surround sound playback.
1
1 Make sure you have set the playback source to the
proper output setting.
For example, you might need to set your DVD player to
output multichannel analog audio.
2 Press
MULTI CH IN
on the front panel to turn the
multi-channel input on.
Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the
analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be
too low. In this case, the output level of the subwoofer
can be increased by 10 dB in the Multi Ch In Setup in
Other Setup. For details, see Multi Channel Input
Setup on page 69.
Speaker B setup
Caution
Before making or changing the connections, switch off
the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in components should be the
last connection you make with your system.
Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker
wires from different terminals.
You can use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 6 to 16 (please see Switching the
speaker impedance on page 74 if you plan to use
speakers with an impedance of less than 8 ).
After selecting Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting on page 41, you can use the speakers connected
to the (surround back) B speaker terminals on the rear
panel to listen to stereo playback in another room. See
Switching the speaker system below for the listening
options with this setup.
1 Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back
speaker terminals on the rear panel.
Connect them the same way you connected your
speakers in Installing your speaker system on page 21.
Make sure to review Placing the speakers on page 22
when placing the speakers in another room.
2 Select ‘
Speaker B
’ from the Surround Back System
menu.
See Surround back speaker setting on page 41 to do this.
Switching the speaker system
If you selected Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting on page 41, three speaker system settings are
possible using the SPEAKERS button. If you selected
Normal or Front Bi-Amp, the button will simply switch
your main speaker system on or off. The options below
are for the Speaker B setting only.
2
•Use the
SPEAKERS
button on the front panel to
select a speaker system setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected Normal, the
button will simply switch your main speaker system (A)
on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:
SPA – Sound is output from speaker system A and
the same signal is output from the pre-out terminals.
SPB – Sound is output from the two speakers
connected to speaker system B. Multichannel
sources will not be heard. The same signal is output
from the surround back channel pre-out terminals.
SPAB – Sound is output from speaker system A (up
to 5 channels, depending on the source), the two
speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer.
The sound from speaker system B will be the same as
the sound from speaker system A (multichannel
sources will be downmixed to 2 channels).
Note
1 • When playback from the multichannel inputs is selected, only the volume and channel levels can be set.
• You can’t listen to your speaker B system during playback from the multichannel inputs.
• With MULTI CH IN inputs, it is possible to play pictures simultaneously. For details, see Multi Channel Input Setup on page 69.
