Although this receiver incorporates a multi channel decoder, it is also equipped with multi chmmel input jacks. These connections allow you to enjoy multi channel software encoded in formats other them 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 ch_mnel decoder. To fully enjoy multi channel surround sound, five speakers (two front speakers, two surround speakers, and a center speaker) and a sub wootEr are required.

With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as critical as other modes.

However, if the speakers are pointing towards the listener from the immediate let] and right of the listening position, tile sound fields with virtual elements will not be effective unless the surround speaker position parameter is set to "PL.

Tip Under normal conditions, the batteries should las[ for about 6 months. When the l_mote no longer operales the receiver, replace all batteries with new ones. Notes Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. Do not use a new battery with an old one. Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatuses. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If you don't use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
