Component Video Input

If you connect a video component to a component video input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player to COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2, you must assign “IN2” to the “BD/DVD” input selector.

Here are the default assignments.

`IN1, IN2:

Select a corresponding component video input that the video component has been connected.

`- - - - -:

Select if you are using HDMI output, not component video output, to output composite video and compo- nent video sources.

Note

If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to PORT selector.

Digital Audio Input

If you connect a component to a digital audio input, you must assign that input to an input selector. For example, if you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN 1, you must assign “OPT1” to the “TV/CD” input selector. Here are the default assignments.

Select if the component is connected to an analog

audio input.

Note

When an HDMI IN is assigned to an input selector in “HDMI Input” (39), this input assignment is automatically set to the same HDMI IN. And in addition to the usual inputs (e.g., COAX1, COAX2, etc.), you can also select HDMI inputs.

Available sampling rate for PCM signals from a digital input (optical and coaxial) is 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz/16, 20, 24 bit.

If you connect a component (such as UP-A1 Dock that seated iPod) to the UNIVERSAL PORT jack, you cannot assign any input to PORT selector.

Speaker Setup

Main menu

Speaker Setup

Some of the settings in this section are set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (25).

Here you can check the settings made by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function, or set them manually, which is useful if you change one of the con- nected speakers after using Audyssey 2EQ Room Correc- tion and Speaker Setup function.

Note

These settings are disabled when:

a pair of headphones is connected, or

the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (51) and an input selector other than HDMI is selected.

Speaker Settings

If you change these settings, you must run Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again (25).

If the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 ohms. If you bi-amp the front speakers, you must change the “Speakers Type” setting (41).

For hookup information, see “Bi-amping the Front Speak- ers” (15).

Note

When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

Before you change these settings, turn down the volume.

Speaker Impedance

`4ohms:

Select if the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6.

`6ohms:

Select if the impedances of all speakers are between 6 and 16 ohms.

Note

(North American and Taiwan models) Speakers with an impedance of less than 6 ohms are not supported.
