You can assign digital input to DVD, CD, VIDEO1-2, and TAPE. With the default setting, all inputs are assigned analog. Change this assignment, depending on the connected device or sound source.

For example, follow the steps below to assign COAX 1 to the digi- tal input jack (COAX 1) that connects a DVD device.

About five seconds after “COAX 1” is selected, the original dis- play appears and the setting is completed.
