INPUT SETUP

Selecting the SETUP menu INPUTS option prompts the selection of a desired input (e.g., DVD1). Selecting an input opens the corresponding

INPUT SETUP menu, which is used to change the input name, assign audio and video input connectors, select preferred listening mode s and

configure advanced Main Zone and Zone 2 input settings.

All INPUT SETUP menus are shown in the Appendix on page A-6. The parameters on the left side of the INPUT SETUP menus are identical,

regardless of which input is selected. The parameter settings on the right side are adjustable. Default parameter settings differ from input to input.

The INPUT SETUP menus shown in the Appendix indicate factory-default parameter settings for each input.
