This function is necessary to combine one of the three Digital Coaxial sound Inputs and the one Digital Optical sound Input on the rear panel of the screen (Inputs P, V, W and X) with the desired Video Input Source. Each of the four Digital Sound Inputs may be allocated to work with one of the 11 possible Video Inputs. Of course, you only have to perform this procedure for those inputs that you actually wish to use.

From the Setup Start Screen shown above, scroll down with the L Button 9 to highlight first Global Setup, then Sound Setup. As explained in the On Screen bottom text line, press Enter 6 to choose the Sound Setup options, followed by pressing the N Button 9 to highlight the top- most Coaxial In 1 menu line.

Note that you may scroll in both direc- tions, and that both Digital and Analog Inputs are available for selection. Having chosen the proper video input, press Enter again. You may now proceed to the other Coaxial Inputs or the Optical Input. When you are done, press the Red Button N to exit the Menu.

Set Up Menu for the DVD Receiver

The next step in checking or changing the system defaults is to access the Setup Menu of the DVD receiver. First, make certain that the DVD receiver is properly connected to the screen, and that power is connected. For this process, however, you do not need to load a disc into the unit.

The Set Up of the receiver can be called at any time, even during STOP, PAUSE or PLAY mode. Now press the DVD Source Selector 0 to put the system in DVD receiver mode, followed by pressing the Set Up Button 8. This will access the Set Up Menu of the DVD receiver.

The Set Up Menu of the DVD receiver and all menus in the following section may look differ- ent, listing the settings with different languages, depending on the settings made previously. With the factory default setting all languages are set to ”English”, that´s why with all menus the English version is shown in the manual.

In the SET-UP Menu you will find submenus for making or changing all settings and adjustments for both Audio and Video handling of your Digital Lounge system.
