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 below). 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.

1Press RECEIVER on the remote control, then press the SETUP button.

An on-screen display (OSD) appears on your TV. Use the buttons and ENTER to navigate through the

screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to confirm and exit the current menu.

2Select ‘Input Setup’ from the System Setup menu.

3Select the input function that you want to set up. The default names correspond with the names next to the terminals on the rear panel (such as DVD/LD or VIDEO/ GAME) which, in turn, correspond with the names on the remote control.

If you change the setting to an input that has been previously assigned to another function (for example, TV/SAT) then the setting for that function will automatically be switched off.

If you used component video cords to connect your component you must tell the receiver which input you connected it to, or else you may see the S-video or composite video input instead of the component video signal.1

5When you’re finished, select ‘Next’ to continue to the next screen.

The second screen of the Input setup has two 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.

12V Trigger – After connecting a component to the

12 volt trigger (see Switching components on and off using the 12 volt trigger on page 55), select M. ROOM, ROOM2 or OFF to switch it on automatically along with the room specified.

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

6When you're finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the System Setup menu.

4Select the input(s) to which you’ve connected your component.

Input function default and possible settings

The terminals on the rear of the receiver generally correspond to the name of one of the input source functions. If you have connected components to this receiver differently from (or in addition to) the defaults below, see The Input Setup menu above to tell the receiver how you’ve connected up. The dots ( ) indicate possible assignments.

For example, if your DVD player only has an optical output, you will need to change the DVD/LD input function’s Digital In setting from COAX 1 (default) to the optical input you’ve connected it to.The numbering (OPT1 to 4) corresponds with the numbers beside the inputs on the back of the receiver.

Note

1For high-definition video (using component video connections), or when digital video conversion is switched off (in Setting the AV options on page 61), 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 plasma display on page 55). Note that to control this receiver using the remote, you will have to point it at the plasma display’s remote sensor after making this connection.
