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 on page 68). 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 input function’s Digital In setting from COAX-1(default) to the optical input you’ve connected it to. The numbering (OPT-1and 2) 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, TV SAT), the setting for that function will automatically be switched off.

•If your component is connected via a component video cable to an input terminal other than the default, you must tell the receiver which input terminal your component is connected to, or else you may see the composite video signals instead of the component video signals.1

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.

•PDP In (SR+) – To control certain functions on this receiver from a flat panel TV, select the display input to which you’ve connected the receiver.2

7When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the System Setup menu.

Note

1For high-definition video (using component video connections), or when digital video conversion is switched off (in Setting the Video options on page 72), 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 flat panel TV on page 63). Note that to control this receiver using the remote, you will have to point it at the flat panel TV’s remote sensor after making this connection.
