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.

1Press RECEIVER on the remote control, then press the SETUP button.

An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your TV. Use the buttons and ENTER to navigate through the

screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to confirm and exit the current menu.

2Select ‘Input Setup’ from the System Setup menu.

•If you change the setting to an input that has been previously assigned to another function (for example, TV/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

5When you’re finished, select ‘Next’ to continue to the next screen.

The second screen of the Input setup has two 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.

•PDP In (SR+) – To control certain functions on this receiver from a plasma display, select the display

Note

1For high-definition video (using component video connections), or when digital video conversion is switched off (in Setting the AV options on page 57), you must connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.

2You will have to make an SR+ cable connection from a CONTROL OUT jack on the display to the CONTROL IN jack on this receiver (opposite from the setup in Using this receiver with a Pioneer plasma display on page 53). Note that to control this receiver using the remote, you will have to point it at the plasma display’s remote sensor after making this connection.
