The Input Setup menu

You only need to make settings in the Input Setup menu if you didn’t hook up your digital equipment according to the default settings (see Input function default and possible settings below). In this case, you need to tell the receiver what equipment is hooked up to which terminal so the buttons on the remote correspond to the components you’ve connected.

5Select the input(s) to which you’ve connected your component.

For example, if your DVD player only has an optical output, you will need to change the DVD/LD input function’s Digital In setting from COAX 1 (default) to the optical input you’ve connected it to.The numbering (OPT14) corresponds with the numbers beside the inputs on the back of the receiver.

If you change the setting to an input that has been previously assigned to another function (for example, SAT) then the setting for that function will automatically be switched off.

If you used component video cords to connect your component you must tell the receiver which input you connected it to, or else you may see the S-video or composite video input instead of the component video signal.1

If you have more than one iLINK component connected, you can assign each one to a different input function in the same way (to check your settings after doing so, see Checking the i.LINK inputs on page 49).2

6When you’re finished, select ‘Next’ to continue to the next screen.

The second screen of the Input setup has three optional settings:

Input name – You can choose to rename the input function for easier identification. Select Rename to do so, or Default to return to the system default.

Note

1For high-definition video (using component video connections), or when digital video conversion is switched off (in Setting the AV options on page 63), you must connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.

2• If you assign i.LINK-equipped components to an input (for example DVD/LD), you will be able to select both audio and video signals from i.LINK- equipped components using the corresponding input source button (or the INPUT SELECT button / INPUT SELECTOR dial). Assigning i.LINK sources also allows you to keeps the sound settings you’ve made for other input functions.

An i.LINK-equipped video component should be assigned to the input function to which you have connected the video signal from the component.

If you assign an i.LINK input to a certain function (for example DVD/LD) then any digital inputs previously assigned to that function will automatically be set to i.LINK (not assigned).
