CONNECTING A 5.1-CHANNE DECODE If you own a 5.1-channel decoder (or a unit which incorporates a 5.1-channel decoder), you can connect its discrete outputs to the -V703 as shown below. To hear playback of a stereo or mono audio source or one encoded with Dolby Pro ogic Surround*, connect the unit (e.g., DVD player) to the DVD/D (or TV/DBS) AUDIO SIGNA input terminals. The discrete signals feeding to the -V703 cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD recorder, or VC. To record programs from a source (e.g., laserdisc player), connect the source unit to the DVD/D (or TV/DBS) AUDIO SIGNA input terminals. If your audio system does not include a subwoofer (i.e., SUBWOOFE input terminals are not used), set signal routing on the 5.1-Channel Decoder so that the FE channel feeds both EFT and IGHT MAIN output terminals. For details, refer to the owner's manual for your 5.1-Channel Decoder unit.
