Enjoying Multichannel Playback
The multichannel playback feature requires the multichannel terminal board [E] to be inserted in the RDC-7.1.
The RDC-7.1 can be connected to two devices, such as
a DVD player, that deal with multichannel sounds (5.1-
7.1 channels).
To use multichannel connections, you need to specify
settings on the Input Setup menu. In addition, you can
set listening modes as you prefer. Enjoy multichannel
playback in the main room.
Use three or four audio connection cables or a multi-
channel connection cable to connect the multichannel
output jack on the connected device to the MULTI-CH
IN jack on the RDC-7.1.
If the multichannel option board that contains two
multichannel terminal sets is installed, use the same
procedure as described above for making connection.
Specify the input source type. At default, DVD is “1,”
CD is “2,” and others are “No.”
