6-Channel Direct Input
Connect the 6-channel analog output from an
external surround decoder to these 6 inputs. Or if
your DVD player has a built-in surround decoder,
its 6-channel output should be connected here.
Make certain that channels are connected to a
matching input. (e.g., front left to front left, center
to center, etc.). The 6-Channel inputs accept
analog signals from decoders for Dolby Digital
(AC3), DTS, MPEG-2 or any future surround
format. Festival 40 adjusts the overall volume on
these 6 channels before the signal is sent to the
Amplifier. Individual channel level calibration for
components connected to the external decoder
must be made using the controls of the external
decoder. Select this source by pressing
