First Time Setup—Continued

Digital Input Setup

If you connect a component to a digital input jack, you must assign that jack to an input selector. For example, if you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN1 jack, you should assign that jack to the CD input selector. By default, the COAXIAL IN1 jack is assigned to the DVD/ BD input selector, although this can be changed.

Here are the default assignments.
