2. Input Setup menu

This menu allows you to setup the various input sources available with the TX-DS797. Each input source may have a great number of settings that are difficult to keep track of, so we recommend making a chart to record what you have set and for which component to prevent confusion later.

The settings made in this sub-menu are valid for the input source that is currently selected with the input source buttons at the front panel and, therefore, these settings are made separately for each digital input source. This sub-menu will not appear if the selected input source button is AM or FM. If this setting is incorrectly made, the digital audio signals may not be properly output, or not heard at all. Also, since VIDEO 5 is fixed to the optical digital terminal on the front panel, this sub-menu will not appear if VIDEO 5 is selected.

a. Digital Input

This setting tells the TX-DS797 which input source button on the front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input jack it is connected to here.

For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”

OPT1-3:Connect your digital components to any of the DIGITAL INPUT (OPT) terminals 1 through 3.

COAX1-3:Connect your digital components to any of the DIGITAL INPUT (COAX) terminals 1 through 3.
