Set Up Sources

The Info Settings menu is used to assign the correct physical audio and video connections to each source.

The following settings are not optional and must be adjusted now to enable playback of each source: Video Input from source, Audio Input from Source and Resolution to Display. The other settings may be adjusted later.

To display the Source Info menu, press the Info Settings Button (front panel or remote). Or, from the Main Menu, select the Setup Source line and select a source from the slide-in menu. A screen similar to the one shown in Figure 55 will appear.

Figure 53 – EzSet/EQ: Number of Speakers

NOTE: If there are fewer than five main speakers in your system, do not use the EzSet/EQ process. Instead, proceed as described in the Advanced Functions section. If you have selected a 6.1- channel configuration with a single surround back speaker, use EzSet/EQ automatic configuration for 5.1 speakers, connect the single surround back speaker to the left Surround Back Speaker Output, then configure the surround back speaker manually, as described in the Advanced Functions section. The 6.1-channel configuration is not recommended.
