Hooking Up the Components Multi channel input hookups Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi channel input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other than Dolby Digital and DTS. If your DVD player is equipped with multi channel output jacks, you can connect them directly to the receiver to enjoy the sound of the DVD player's multi channel decoder. Alternatively, the multi channel input jacks can be used to connect an external multi channel decoder. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub woofer are required. For 6.1 channel surround sound, you will also need a surround back speaker (STR-DE985) or refer page 18 (STR-DE885). Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your DVD player, multi channel decoder, etc., for details on the multi channel hookups. Notes • When using the connections described below, adjust the level of the surround speakers and sub woofer from the DVD player or multi channel decoder. • See page 17 for details on speaker system hookup.
