Initial Set Up

DIGITAL INPUT SELECT

In order to be able to use your digital equipment properly you need to assign digital inputs for each of the digital components you connected. Match the DIGITAL IN buttons 1-5 with the digital jacks 1-5 in accordance with what component is hooked up to each digital jack. Check the digital terminal numbers on the back of the receiver to make certain what component is in which jack (if necessary, see p.10 for more on digital connections). Note that you can only assign a function (like DVD/LD) once after that it will disappear from the choices from which you can assign buttons. The last button, the AC-3 RF button, is specifically for a DVD/LD or LD player with an 2RF output. If you connected one of these components match this button to the component. If continuing from the previous page go to step 1. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.32) first.

1Press the DIGITAL INPUT SELECT button.

2Press the DIGITAL IN button you want to assign.

3At the bottom of the LCD screen the functions available will appear. Press the button of the function you want to assign to the selected

DIGITAL INPUT button.

This procedure assigns a digital function to the DIGITAL IN. If you assign a function (for example DVD/LD) that has already been assigned to another button the new button will get the function and the old one will automatically turn to OFF. This is because one function cannot be assigned twice.

If a digital jack has nothing connected to it set the corresponding button to OFF.

4Repeat step 2 & 3 until all the DIGITAL IN buttons correspond to the components you connected.

5If you hooked up a component to the AC-3 RF channel use steps 2 & 3 to assign a function to it.

6Press the SETUP OK button to

return the SYSTEM SETUP mode.

Hold the remote control pointed towards the receiver until you see the “RECEIVED” display on the receiver. If "ERROR" flashes in the display, perform the setup operations from the first step again.
