➤ Connecting other devices

En

You can connect video/audio recording devices to the AV OUT jacks. These jacks 
output video/audio signals selected as the input.

• The AV OUT jacks cannot output video/audio signals input through the HDMI or COMPONENT VIDEO 

jacks.

• Be sure to use the AV OUT jacks only for connecting recording devices.

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.110) in the “Option” 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.
