Question: How to set up discrete 8 track tape playback ?

[rawmacias]

First , my equipment : Akai CR 80D-SS tape player, Sansui QRX 7001 receiver. Tape : U.K. DSOTM discrete.

Here's my dumb-ass question. The receiver has selector buttons for = 2-ch direct front - plus back / qs synthesizer (hall or surround) / qs / sq / cd-4 (4-ch direct) . When playing the tape , which selector button do I use? I know the tape is not encoded , but how does the sound go through the receiver in 4ch discrete ? Does it go direct (in 4-channel) from the deck to the receiver's four amps via Tape Select?
Earlier I put this question in the GEN HARDWARE DISCUSSION thread. My BAD !

I would connect it to the 4 channel inputs on the back and select either discrete or 2 ch direct front plus back.

Thanks for the information. I took a better look at the system and you are correct. Much appreciated !
