Reassigning a source selection

If a source is selected with SOURCE SELECTOR the standard audio input is used. To change this, the source selection must be reassigned to another audio input.

Example: Reassigning CD from the analog CD IN audio input to the digital COAX 2 IN audio input.

3Turn X MENU NAVIGATOR to select the input connectors which should be used (e. g. CD -> COAX2).

4Press ENTER / OK to confirm your selection. ySTORED is displayed briefly.

5This source selection is now using the chosen audio input (e. g. CD uses the COAX 2 IN input connectors, COAX 2 lights when switching to CD).

Using one source selection for two or more appliances

You may assign more than one source to a source selection. This can be useful when products are connected one after the other in a chain.

Example: A VCR is connected to the TV but only the TV is connected to the receiver. Both SOURCE SELECTOR settings, TV as well as VCR, have to use the TV input connectors.

1Choose * SELECT INPUT from the menu and press NEXT 2.

2Turn SOURCE SELECTOR to select the source which should be reassigned (e. g. VCR).

yThe name of the source is displayed and the light of the source flashes.

3Turn X MENU NAVIGATOR to select the input connectors which should be used (e. g. VCR -> TV IN).

4Press ENTER / OK to confirm your selection. ySTORED is displayed briefly.

5This source selection is now using the chosen audio input (e. g. VCR uses the TV IN input connectors, VCR <TV IN> is displayed briefly when switching to VCR).

About 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT

The 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT can be used to connect a device with a built-in multichannel decoder (e.g. Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.) and 6-channel output connector, i. e. a high end DVD player.

When using the 6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input, the receiver works as a multichannel amplifier. The source reproduces surround sound and sends it to the receiver divided into the necessary channels. Therefore the SURROUND ON/OFF, HALL and SURR. MODE button have no effect since the provided signal is already multichannel.

From a source which is connected to the

6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input cannot be recorded.
