Note
When using the connections described below, adjust the level of
your surround speakers, center speaker and subwoofer from the
DVD player or multichannel decoder.
Although this amplifier incorporates a multi channel
decoder, it is also equipped with 5.1CH/SAT jacks. These
connections allow you to enjoy multichannel software
encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital (AC-3) and
DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with 5.1CH
OUTPUT jacks, you can connect them directly to the
amplifier to enjoy the sound of the DVD player’s multi
channel decoder. Alternatively, the 5.1CH/SAT jacks can
be used to connect an external multi channel decoder.
To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, you will
need five speakers (two front speakers, two rear speakers,
and a center speaker) and a subwoofer. Refer to the
instruction manual supplied with your DVD player, multi
channel decoder, etc., for details on the 5.1 channel input
hookups.
