➤ Connecting other devices

En

You can connect an analog multi-channel output device such as a DVD player and an 
SACD player to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks.

If you select “MULTI CH” as the input source by pressing MULTI on the remote control, 
the audio played back on the device will be output from the unit.

• You can select a video source to be displayed when “MULTI CH” is selected as the input source using 

“Video Out” (p.93) in the “Input” menu. When connecting a video device (such as a DVD player) to the 
MULTI CH INPUT jacks, use the input jack specified in “Video Out” for the video connection.

• Since the unit does not redirect signals input to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing 

speakers, make appropriate settings on the external device (such as a DVD player) that suit to the speaker 
configuration.

• When “MULTI CH” is selected as the input source, sound mode selection and tone control adjustment are 

not available.

The trigger function can control an external device in conjunction with operating the 
unit (such as powering on/off and input selection). If you have a Yamaha subwoofer that 
supports a system connection or a device with a trigger input jack, you can use the 
trigger function by connecting the external device to one of the TRIGGER OUT jacks.

• You can configure the trigger function settings in “Trigger Output1” and “Trigger Output2” (p.115) in the 

“Setup” menu.
