Setting up sources

For each of the twelve source selection keys on the Remote control you choose a display Logo and a primary physical input connection – and by implication – signal type. In addition for digital sources you may set up a secondary analogue input connection that 562 may use for the analogue tape copy signal. (This is necessary if you do not have the DAC option fitted or externally connected – see page ??).

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 or one of the analogue inputs.
