Set Up Your Sources

The Setup Source menu lets you assign the correct physical audio and video connections to each source and lets you set many audio and video playback features for each source.

IMPORTANT: The “Video Input from Source,” “Audio Input from Source” and “Resolution to Display” settings are not optional and must be adjusted before you use your AVR to enable playback of each source. You can adjust the other settings later. See System Settings, on page 39, for complete information about adjusting all of the Settings menu options.

1.Review the assigned connectors you listed on the Source Buttons and Assigned Connectors table, on page 18. Note what changes (if any) you want to make from the default source-button connector assignments that appear on the list. (If there are no changes, you can skip this section.)

2.To display the Source Settings menu for the active source, press the Info button on the front panel or remote. Or, from the Main Menu screen, select “Setup Source” and select a source from the slide-in menu. The Settings menu for that source will appear.
