Zhd Input Assign

Since the P 7 is a pure analog preamplifier it does not offer any video switching. The P 7 does have the ability to link to the Parasound Zhd 5 input HDMI selector (sold separately). This feature gives you automatic switching of HDMI video sources as you select the audio sources on your P 7. In the Zhd Input Assign setup, you can assign any of the Zhd’s 5 inputs to be selected simultaneously with any of the P 7s 10 sources. Please note that this feature allows you to switch HDMI sources but does not enable your P 7 to decode digital audio carried in the HDMI signal.

Press the Enter button to proceed into the Zhd Input Assignment.

In the Assignment page you will select the P 7 input and the Parasound Zhd HDMI input association. For example you might want the HDMI input #3 to be selected when you select the P 7’s In 9/Multi 1 input. In this case you would want the Zhd Input Assign to look like this:

In 9/Multi 1: Zhd3

•Press the VOL Up or VOL Down buttons to change HDMI input assignment in this order: None → Zhd1 → Zhd2 → Zhd3 → Zhd4 → Zhd5 → (back to None)

•Press the Enter button to change the P 7 input you wish to associate. Each press of the Enter button will step to the next P 7 input.

•After you fi nish, press the Exit Setup button to return to the main Setup menu.

Repeat the above procedure for each P 7 input you wish to associate with an HDMI input on the Zhd.
