The MAIN MENU provides access to OSD screens for various conﬁguration options. MAIN MENU is reached by pressing the ENTER button from the SYSTEM STATUS menu described above or from most other menus. To go to the desired menu, move the highlight using the UP/DOWN and +/– buttons on the remote and press the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD button on the remote to cancel the display and return to normal operation.

2.Press the ENT button on the remote to conﬁrm that letter and move to the next position.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all eight characters (including blank spaces) have been completed. The ﬁnal press of the ENT button saves the new label.

AUDIO INPUT: assigns a physical input connection to use as the default for the source displayed in the ﬁrst line of the menu. Can be OPTICAL 1–4, COAXIAL 1–3, ANALOG or HDMI Audio.

Note: HDMI Audio input is assigned to a speciﬁc VIDEO input.

When a digital input is the default, the unit will check for a digital signal when the INPUT SOURCE is selected. If no digital signal is present, the unit will automatically revert to the analog input.

Conﬁguring Inputs

A key step in setting up the receiver is to conﬁgure each source input using the INPUT SETUP screens. Conﬁguring the inputs allows you to set defaults for a number of settings including the type of input connector, the desired surround mode, custom labels that appear in the displays when a source is selected, and many more. The following OSD menus are used to conﬁgure the inputs.

Input Setup

��

The INPUT SETUP menu conﬁgures the source inputs and is reached from the MAIN menu. The screen provides the following options, selected by placing the highlight on the desired line using the UP/DOWN buttons:

LISTEN: changes the current listening input source (CD, TUNER, TAPE, VIDEO 1–5, & MULTI INPUT). Changing this input also allows you to select a speciﬁc input for conﬁguring.

VIDEO INPUT: selects the video source to be displayed on the TV monitor. Assign the input to a source component you have connected by selecting from Component 1–3, S–Video 1–3, Component 1–3 and HDMI 1–4. For audio only sources (such as a CD player), you would typically specify OFF so that no video is displayed.

INPUT LABEL: The eight character labels for all eight inputs can be customized. Place the highlight on this line to begin labelling. The ﬁrst character in the label will be ﬂashing.

When an ANALOG input is the default, the unit will not access a digital signal, even though one may be present at the digital input; thus, the ANALOG setting forces the unit to use an analog signal. Assigning a digital input (with its auto-sensing) is generally the preferred conﬁguration for any source with a digital output.

INPUT ATT: the audio INPUT ATT function allows you to reduce the level of the selected audio input from 0dB to –6dB, in 1dB steps. Use this attenuation for louder sources to match them to quieter sources.

Note: If a source connected to a digital input is selected, that signal will automatically be sent to both digital outputs for recording.

CINEMA EQ: This Rotel receiver includes a CINEMA EQ feature which reduces the high-frequency content of movie soundtracks to simulate the frequency response of a large movie theater and/or eliminate sibilance. You can turn the CINEMA EQ on or off as the default setting for the selected input using this menu choice. In general, this setting should

be OFF for most source inputs, unless you are consistently bothered by excessively bright sound from movie soundtracks.

12V TRIGGER: The receiver has six 12V trigger outputs (labeled 1–6) that supply a 12V DC signal to turn on Rotel components and other components as needed. This menu item turns on speciﬁc 12V trigger outputs whenever the indicated source is selected. For example, set up the VIDEO 1 input to turn on the 12V trigger for your DVD player. Any combination of trigger outputs can be programmed for each source.

1.Press the +/– buttons on the remote to change the ﬁrst position from blank to 1 (activating TRIGGER 1 for that source).

2.Press the ENT button on the remote to move to the next position.

3.Repeat until all six positions are set as desired. A ﬁnal press of the ENT button conﬁrms the selection.

DEFAULT MODE: The DEFAULT MODE setting allows you to set a default surround sound mode for each source input. The default setting will be used unless the source material triggers automatic decoding of a
