Onkyo TX-NR708 instruction manual Component Video Input, Digital Audio Input, Analog Audio Input

Page 44

Note

If no video component is connected to HDMI OUT (even if the HDMI input is assigned), the AV receiver selects the video source based on the setting of “Component Video Input”.

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector as explained here, the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in the “Digital Audio Input” (44). In this case, if you want to use the coaxial or optical audio input, make the selection in the Audio Selector in the Home menu (26).

TUNER” selector cannot be assigned and is fixed at the “- - - - - option.

If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod) to UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to “PORT” selector.

Do not assign the component connected with the HDMI input to “TV/CD” selector when you set “TV Control” setting to “On” (56). Otherwise, appropriate CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) operation will not be guaranteed.

Component Video Input

If you connect to a COMPONENT VIDEO IN, you must assign it to an input selector. For example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, you should assign it to the “BD/DVD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

Select if the component is connected to an analog audio input.

Note

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector in “HDMI Input” (43), the same HDMI IN will be set as a priority in this assignment. In this case, if you want to use the coaxial or optical audio input, make the selection in the Audio Selector in the Home menu.

Available sampling rate for PCM signals from a digital input (optical and coaxial) is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz/16, 20, 24 bit.

If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to “PORT” selector.

Analog Audio Input

Some DVD players output the LFE channel from their analog subwoofer output at 15 dB higher than normal. With this setting, you can change the AV receiver’s sub- woofer sensitivity to match your DVD player.

Subwoofer Input Sensitivity

`0dB to 15dB in 5 dB step.

Note

This setting only affects signals connected to the AV receiver’s multichannel input: SUBWOOFER jack.

If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the 10 dB or 15 dB setting.
