Yamaha HTR-5940 User Guide

This unit is equipped with 6 additional input jacks 
(FRONT L/R, CENTER, SURROUND L/R and 
SUBWOOFER) for discrete multi-channel input from a 
multi-format player, external decoder, sound processor or 
pre-amplifier. Connect the output jacks on your multi-
format player or external decoder to the MULTI CH 
INPUT jacks. Be sure to match the left and right output 
jacks to the left and right input jacks for the front and 
surround channels.

• When you select the component connected to the MULTI CH 

INPUT jacks as the input source (see page 37), this unit 
automatically turns off the digital sound field processor, and 
you cannot select sound field programs.

• This unit does not redirect signals input at the MULTI CH 

INPUT jacks to accommodate for missing speakers. We 
recommend that you connect at least a 5.1-channel speaker 
system before using this feature.

• When headphones are used, signals are output only from the 

front left and right channels.

Use the VIDEO AUX jacks on the front panel to connect a 
game console, a video camera or a portable audio player to 
this unit.

The audio signals input at the PORTABLE mini jack take priority 
over the ones input at the AUDIO L/R jacks.
