To select DVD, turn the INPUT FUNCTION SELECTOR knob on the front panel or simply press the DVD button on the remote.

After you have selected DVD, simply turn on the DVD player and play the DVD.

The input name will appear in the display on the front panel.

As the input is changed, the SR4600 will automatically switch to the digital input, surround mode, attenuation, and night mode status which were entered during the configuration process for that source.

When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the VCR1 & DSS/ VCR2 Outputs and Monitor Outputs. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources.

When a Video source is selected, the video signal for that input will be routed to the Monitor Outputs jacks and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the SR4600.

If a component video input is connected to the DVD or DSS component inputs, it will be routed to the Component Video Output. Make certain that your TV is set to the proper input to view the signal.
