MULTI CH IN
MULTI CHANNEL IN Setting
There are two types of MULTI CH IN settings: ADJUST and BYPASS. In the former you can change the sound
level and in the latter it's fixed. To move between the two settings follow the procedure below:
Press the MULTI CH IN button on the
remote control’s Receiver MAIN screen
or the MULTI CH INPUT button on the
front panel.
Each press switches the input between the previous mode
and MULTI CH IN.
When MULTI CH IN is selected only the volume level
can be set. All of this unit’s other features (DIGITAL NR
etc.) cannot be used. Also, In BYPASS mode all speaker
settings and other setup settings have no effect.

While holding down the MULTI CH INPUT
button press the   STANDBY/ON button.
The setting will change depending on what state the receiver was
previously in. For a few seconds the display will show you which
MULTI CH setting you are now in.
ADJUST: Use the ADJUST setting when you want to be able
to control each channel level individually.
BYPASS: This setting is good for getting the cleanest possible signal.
In this setting you won’t be able to change each channel individually.
We recommend using BYPASS and the default setting is BYPASS.

96 kHz 24 bit Performance
This receiver is capable of playing back advanced DVD discs which are recorded in 96 kHz/24 bit format (these
are all stereo discs) and any source recorded in 96 kHz and up to 24 bit. The receiver will automatically read the
format of the disc and play accordingly (of course the SIGNAL SELECT will have to set to AUTO or DIGITAL to
read the DVD soundtrack). When the receiver plays a 96 kHz/24 bit disc "96 kHz" and whatever mode you're
using (for example "STEREO," "DIRECT or " DNR") will appear in the display.

• When a 96 kHz/24 bit disc is played back the volume may be
louder than that of a normal disc.
• Some DVD players cannot play 96 kHz/24 bit discs. Check the
manual of your DVD player to make sure.
• During this playback the player enters the STEREO mode and
you can use the controls available in STEREO mode (LOUD-
NESS, MIDNIGHT, TONE controls, etc., see p.50-51).
• With  96 kHz/24 bit discs you are able to use MULTI CH IN
playback and the TAPE 2 MONITOR.
• In 96 kHz/24 mode you can't use the STANDARD, ADVANCED
THEATER, THX, or DSP modes.
