LISTENING IN DVD 5.1 CHANNEL INPUT MODE
You can use this feature if you have a DVD player and a Dolby Digital decoder or a DVD player with a
built-in Dolby Digital decoder. Both these decoders will have separate analog audio outputs for the front
left and right, center, surround left and right, and sub-woofer channels. Connect these to the 5.1 channel
inputs of the STAV-3860 for enhanced playback of Dolby Digital material—see page 10 for instructions
on connecting. 5.1 channel mode of the STAV-3860 provides better surround-channel sound and overall
channel separation than the Dolby Pro Logic mode.
Follow the steps below to use the 5.1 channel mode.
