INPUTS Menu

These menus let you select which input you would like to configure. Pressing the joystick right on each input brings up a second menu which allows you to configure what happens when each input is selected.

INPUT CONFIGURATION MENUS (The example shows the DVD menu)

NAME - Use the joystick up/down, and left/right to change the display

name for any input, up to 9 characters. Move fully to the left after

entering the name.

GAIN TRIM - Use this to adjust all of your sources to play at similar levels.To prevent overloading, the levels can only be adjusted downwards. You should try and trim all the inputs to be the same average level as your quietest source.

 

DEFAULT MODE - Set the input to a favorite surround

 

mode or stereo.

 

MAIN ZONE - Enable/disable the selected input in the

 

Main Zone. You can set up your system so any unused

 

inputs are not selectable. From the factory, the inputs are

*See Note for 8-Channel Input Choices

enabled. If you choose to disable an input, then it will not

play in the Main Zone.

 

TRIGGER RELAY - The Trigger Relay can be set to turn

on whenever the input is selected. This could be used to turn on an

amplifier, video screen, lighting controls, etc.

ZONE 2 - Enable or disable the input for use in Zone 2. Sometimes

 

this is a useful idea to implement when a simple selection

 

is desired in the second zone (such as a patio, play room,

 

garage, or bedroom).

 

Note: The 8-Channel input menu is different from the other

 

menus as it allows you to select a specific video

 

input whenever the 8-Channel audio input is

 

selected. Also, this input only works in the MAIN

 

ZONE, not in ZONE 2.
