This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries
to leak.

• Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and
manganese batteries) together. Specification of batteries may be
different even though they look the same.

• If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately,
taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material
comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth,
rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

• Dispose of the old batteries correctly in accordance with your local
regulations.

• If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2 minutes,
or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents
of the memory may be cleared. In such a case, install new batteries
and set the remote control code.

About audio/video output terminals

Among the analog audio and analog video signals input to this unit via input terminals, the audio/video signals of the
selected input sources are output from the AV OUT jack and AUDIO OUT jack. An HDMI input signal,
COMPONENT VIDEO input signal or digital audio input signal cannot be output.
When using the AV OUT jack: connect an external component to the composite or analog audio terminal.
When using the AUDIO OUT jack: connect an external component to the analog audio terminal.

Connecting a multi-format player or an
external decoder

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, etc. If you set input
source to “MULTI CH,” the analog audio input jacks
assigned as “Front Input” can be used as the front channel
input jacks.

Notes

• When you select “MULTI CH” as the input source, the digital sound field

processor is automatically disabled.

• Since this unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH INPUT

jacks to accommodate for missing speakers, connect at least a 5.1­channel speaker system when using this feature.

• When the input source is switched to “MULTI CH,” images input from a

component connected to “AV1-6” or “V-AUX” (see page 36). If your
DVD player does not support multi-channel digital output, connect it to
these input jacks.
