Notes:
– If you wish to play regular CDs or DVDs in your SACD player, you must also make an additional
audio connection for playing regular CDs and DVDs otherwise the SACD player might output the
signal to the wrong output sockets.
– In case your multichannel device has only one surround rear output socket ('L' or 'R') this socket
can be connected to either the 'SBL' or the SBR' socket.
– Depending on the bass management of the source device, the subwoofer gain of the
multichannel analogue audio input can be adapted in the 'Configuration' menu, sub-menu
'M(ultichannel) Subw(oofer) (Gain)'. See '10.1 Configuration menu'.
– If no multichannel equipment is available the L/R (CD IN), SL/SR (CDR-IN) and C/SUB (AUX IN)
sockets can be connected to the output sockets of analogue audio equipment. The sockets must
first be reassigned in the system menu. For this see '6.7 Reassigning input sockets' and '10.1
Configuration menu' ('Audio in'). The SBL/SBR sockets have no function when no multichannel
equipment is connected.
– Make sure the SACD player (or other analogue multichannel source device) has the same
speaker setup as your DFR9000.
