Setting up sources

For each of the twelve source selection keys on the Remote control you choose a display Logo and a physical input connection.

Normally as shown, we set the CD key to give a CD display with the D1 (Digital 1) input selected. You may however wish to display CD1 for your main CD player and to connect it to D2.
