Analog cinch in- and output connectors for 7.1 analog surround sound of Denon AVR 3808
AV receiver Denon AVR 3808 from 2007/2008, sectional rear view. The part of the rear panel shown in the image concerns the input (left part of image) and the pre-output (right part of image, divided by vertical line) of an analog surround sound signal. This may, e.g., stem from a DVD-player which has an output of the surround sound signal stored on a DVD in the form of components.
The components of the surround sound signal are, in a 7.1 signal such as is, e.g., possible in Dolby Pro Logic IIx (or IIz):
FL = Front speaker left
FR = Front speaker right
C = Center speaker
SW = Subwoofer, naturally mono such as the center speaker signal
SL = Surround speaker left
SR = Surround speaker right
SBL = Surround back speaker left
SBR = Surround back speaker right
